Double Eagle

Mike is spending the summer with his dad, per usual. But unlike years past, this summer the 14-year-old is not in Florida.
This year, he’s on an Alabama island, where his dad is teaching at a marine lab. Mike’s not too excited about the change at first, but it’s not long before he and his new friend are exploring an old Civil War fort. They uncover more than they bargained for, though, and when a hurricane bears down on Shipwreck Island, tension mounts.

My opinion:
Mike and Kyle are nicely drawn characters. I love the book’s historical and scientific aspects. I don’t often find the sciences portrayed in a fun yet accessible way. 
Double Eagle is not a wave-making book, but it is definitely a fun read. A great adventure story set in a well-drawn Southern setting against a great back Civil War backdrop.

Mahtab's Story

This story of a young girl fleeing Afghanistan with her family and their journey to Australia.

"Mahtab was empty. She felt hungry...for water, for her father, for her grandmother, her aunts and uncles, for the trees in the back yard, the cabinet on the wall, the silver and glass objects so lovingly collected, for her mountains, the jagged peaks that cut the sky."

Mahtab's father is dead, she can felt that for sure. Her family were force to leave their home at Herat. They traveled through through the rocky mountains to Pakistan and from there to faraway Australia.

Months go by, will they ever be reunited with their father, will they ever find a home?...

I think this normal is a little bit boring because it's doesn't have anything special apart from the gift! I think the author should make the story more adventure like they will be lost in a forest in a field trip, and they go into and old house,...
