1. Book by: Elaine Marie Alphin Book Report by: Angelique

2. Plot In my opinion the rising action was when Alexander and his dad went to a friends of the dad and his father stated that he wanted to marry his friend they went to visit (encase your wondering it was a woman) I thought that rising action was when they went to a historical museum and I got a few of my questions answered. when I got to the climax I got a few more questions, they all got answered by the end of the climax. The falling action was when they found everyone’s family thanks to Alexander and the overall theme would be historical and realistic fiction if you ask me.

5. Opinion/Recommendation I think this was a really good book. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes realistic books that tell you a little about our Countries history. This book is realistic except the part for ghost but the rest is all pretty realistic. I enjoyed my reading mainly because it tells you history but it has a specific point of view and you have to remember the sad story happened to many others than just this one main character.
