Book Review #1: __Brighty of the Grand Canyon__ by Marguerite Henry // Hi! Welcome to Beamon’s Book Buzz! This is Emily here to tell you about a great book called __Brighty of the Grand Canyon__ by Marguerite Henry. // // This book is about a small burro named Brighty who was befriended by an old prospector, Old Timer. When someone kills the prospector, Brighty tries to find the person who kills him. Brighty has a long story to tell. It all takes place in the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Some other characters you’ll meet are Uncle Jim, President Teddy Roosevelt, Jake Irons, and Homer Hobs. // // This book made me happy and sad at the same time. It made me feel this way because someone dies, but then again, Brighty lives. I learned from this book that you have to be careful who you trust. // // I enjoyed the book very much. My favorite part was when Brighty gets attacked by a lion for the first time. I liked it because of the excitement and drama. I like Brighty because he is brave and he perseveres. I also liked the artwork because they matched the story. // // This book is perfect for both boys and girls because it is full of emotion, but also full of adventure. It was probably written for 10 or 11 year olds. I think an adventurous person would like this book because it has lots of it! I definitely recommend reading this book. It’s a four star read. I couldn’t put it down! So, if you’re in the library, be sure to check out __Brighty of the Grand Canyon__. This is Emily signing off. Remember, it’s always a good time to hit the books! Happy Reading!!! //
