This book is about two sisters named Kimi and Hana. They want to become samurai warriors, but they are girls. When their uncle betrays them by killing their father and older brothers, Kimi and Hana dress up as boys and become servants in a dojo where they meet their cousin who became proud and arrogant.

I liked this book because it was really detailed, exciting to read and makes you wonder what would happen next. This book caught my attention right away. It had a surprising beginning that made me interested. I recommend this book because it's full of life and has interesting conflicts.

Title: The World's Most Amazing Bridges.

Reviewed by: James Yu, 8.

This book is about 10 of the world's most amazing bridges, and why they are so unique, why they were built, and old, modern and new bridge technology.

I liked this book because the bridges are very interesting. I also like this book because bridges are one of my favourite things. I wonder what the highest bridge is. I like to build bridges using Lego or wooden train trucks.

One of my favourite bridges is the Tower Bridge in London, U.K.,

because the road can move to let boats pass. I recommend this book to library customers.
