review 1: I went to the library a few days ago, and after a gander at the young adult section, I quickly came to realize i was sick of reading the same fantasy romance book, which feature the same hopeless love triangle. I needed a change. I decided that something new, bare, and 'out of my comfort zone' should do the job. So after heading to the childrens' section, I quickly came upon this book...and i loved it! I was a little skeptical at first, but went with it anyways in the end. I was acutally working on a major project, at that time, and still had made very little progress (i'm a helpless procastinator, i know shame on me :( ), but after I finished the book (2 days), I realized that at the end, under the title 'Famous people who had polio', Arthur C. Clarke's name was printed ... moreat the very bottom. I nearly fell off my chair! I was doing a porject on that author, and needed to find some extras/ other interesting information. YAY! I'm going to include this book, and maybe bring it in for a class presentation! Yay! I'm going to encourgae others to read this, and get a good mark! Yay! This book is truly awesome!(Excuse any mis-spelt words, I wrote this in a rush, and goodreads dosen't have spellcheck)

I loved reading these kinds of books because they are based of facts of actual events.
