Matilda By Roald Dahl

An adventurous, lively book that will keep you reading!

Matilda is a lovely, sharp and wily character. She enjoys reading and is really smart. Matilda’s parents are not as pleasant  and bright as there daughter. They always leave Matilda home alone even at the age of 3 this is because her dad goes to work, her mum goes to bingo and her brother goes to baseball practice.

Road Dahl was going to make Matilda a wicked child and her parents really nice, but decided to make Matilda the smart powerful one  and her parents the horrible, wicked ones. I agree with Road Dahl because Matilda is a lovely character and it wouldn’t be the same if she was mean and horrible.

The theme of this book is friendship and perseverance, because Matilda perseveres with Mrs Trenchball always on her case. Matilda makes lots of new friends at her New school.Miss Trenchball reminds me of  Mrs Twit. I recommend  this book to anyone who loves adventures and lively mysterious books.

Monsters inc by Pete Doctor

This story is about a monster who wasn’t very popular which means not many friends . When he arrived at monster university he was amazed of what he was seeing, if you like action books this book is waiting for you.

Anyone who trusts my opinion should read the book and even if you don’t want to it’s ready for you .

Dork Diary: Once upon a Dork By Rachel Renee Russell

A comical funny and cringy  book!

Once Upon A Dork is such an amusing and cringy  book for example when she meets a guy she is very awkward around him.  I like the fact that it is in a diary because it makes it more exciting and it makes it easier to read. It’s easy to read and it is entertaining on each page . The illustrations are amazing and very detailed. It’s written in first person .

The main character is Nicky Maxwel , she has a very embarrassing life. Her enemy knocks her out with a ball . Nicky starts imagining that she is in a princess fairy land !

This book is good for people who like Diary of the Wimpy kid. This book is suitable for age 7-12. I really recommend this book as it is very entertaining and dramatic.

 

Diary of a Wimpy Kid the Third Wheel by Jeff Kinney

This book is about a wimpy kid called Greg.

Love is in the air-but what does that means for Greg? After some school council girls change a mixed motorbike/wrestling match into a prom, Greg is worried he won’t get a date. His best friend Rowley has the same feeling. Greg thinks that’s not a big deal. Greg just gives up. But then unexpected twist happens, giving him a date. My favourite part of the book is when the headteacher gets pantsed.

If you like Dork Diaries, you will love dairy of a wimpy kid. I would recommend this to ages 9-11.  Also if parents are looking for a book about romance for their children.

A Boy Called Christmas by Matt Haig

A lovely, jolly adventure book,full of amusing and emotional scenes.

A young boy called Nickolas is having a hard time as he is poor and lives  in a tiny cottage in the middle of nowhere. His father gets offered a job and him getting this is the beginning of how Nickolas became Father Christmas

Matt Haig has cleverly added some unimaginable scenes such as when a pixie blew up a trolls head.Then there are also some sad scenes for example when Nickolas is left with his aunt.Personally I think think this book is bound to entertain you with its tense scenes and unfamiliar action. I really liked one of the most tense scenes when Nickolas is freeing a elf and the men with him start to fire arrows. Along side this action there are more serious parts of the book such as a kidnapping scenes and a death.

I recommend this book to age 9-11 year olds and even more to people who like Christmas because this is the story of how Father Christmas became Father Christmas and the book is full of impossible things.

Captain Underpants and the Sensational Saga of Sir Stinks a lot by Dav Pilkey

A hilarious and gripping action packed book, filled with different species of human, plus toilet humour!

George, Harold ant they’re past selves, suddenly have a stinky problem to worry about. The boys’ malicious gym teacher, Mr Meaner, has created a method of mind control that transforms their fellow students into attentive, obedient, perfect children. Now the future of all humanity is in George and Harolds’s hands!

I like this book because of the hilarious and action, the theme of the book and the toilet humour, especially on pages 14 and 15, 139-149 and 153-161. I especially like the comic of Dog Man which George and Harold made up. My favourite character(s) are the three pterodactyls/bionic hamsters, Tony, Orlando and Dawn. A telepathic signal reached their treehouse from future George and future Harold who were sucked into the growing body of Mr Meaner. They were the only ones who heard it because yesterday George and yesterday Harold were asleep. I also like  the Flip-o-Rama because it is really funny. I would recommend this book to people who like toilet humour and it is a must read book.
