Flame of the Inquisition (Time Machine, No. 15) di Marc Kornblatt
Sometimes a dark page of history is so inescapable that even a children's book can't hide its horrors. Flame of the Inquisition still reads like an adventure novel, the kind that I loved in my elementary school days, but a few gruesome moments are still there to be found. I'm sure I overlooked them back then, and I would never suggest censoring anything that attempts to teach history to kids—especially the more horrific chapters, but as an adult I'm surprised and impressed by the tone of this book.

A fifth grader discovers that the withdrawn, silent new boy in class is grieving over the sudden death of his mother. Rebuffed by Buddy when he tries to be friendly, Sam searches for answers, including Jewish answers, to the disturbing questions that arise as he tries to understand Buddy.
This story was about a boy named Sidney who woke up one morning and was sad. His father tried to cheer him up by taking him to the zoo and the movie theater. At the end of the story Sidney told his dad to hold me. When Sidney's dad held Sidney and hugged him Sidney began to smile. This story teaches children to be happy and when you are sad you don't need to hold it in because it will make you feel worse. If you are sad, you need to talk to someone because they might be able to cheer you up.
