It presents the adventures of three Polish thirteen-year-old friends, Felix Polon, Net Bielecki and Nika Mickiewicz. The main characters meet on the first day of school and that is how their friendship begins. Together with them, you can experience crazy adventures, learn about interesting inventions, artificial intelligence, fly over Warsaw in a flying saucer and read about mysterious ghosts, valuable treasures and true friendship.

Book “In Desert and Wilderness” by H. Sienkiewicz is a story about a boy and a girl who are kidnapped by their fathers’ servants. A long journey in the desert begins. The children are beaten by one of servants (Gebhra) because he wants to kill them. They’re going through a journey with different obstacles, for example a sandstorm. After many days Nel – this little girl - gets sick with scarlet fever. The only way to recover is to take medicine – quinine. Finally, they get it from Lindy – a Swiss traveler – and Nel is recovered. Ultimately, they got lost, but in the last moments their parents find them. The book is based on real events. I really recommend this book to everyone who likes to travels.

The Diary of a Wimpy Kid was written by Jeff Kinney. It tells the story of a teenager who is constantly disturbed by school, parents and siblings. In this book, he does not want to have a grandfather and a pig in his life who have moved into the protagonist's house. The book also covers the accidents and punishments imposed on Greg and his older brother. It shows the adventures at the school camp, love for girls and first hints, but also the surprises that the main character comes across.There are a dozen or so volumes of a wicked girl and each one with some funny adventures, so I recommend it!

“Tytus, Romek, and A'Tomek” is the longest-published and one of the most popular Polish comic book series. It is about Romek and A'Tomek, two Boy Scouts, and Tytus de Zoo, a chimpanzee with the ability to speak. Many of their adventures have Science Fiction elements. In total there are 31 books and around 10 special albums of “Tytus, Romek and A’Tomek”.

My favourite story is in book number 9, Tytus in the Wild West. Tytus buys 3 tickets to the cinema for a western movie. At the end of the movie Tytus jumps into the film. Romek and A’Tomek want to follow him, but the movie ends. They have to wait for the next time the movie plays. They go looking for Tytus. When they catch him and return with him to real life it turns out that it is the wrong monkey. They have to go back to the movie once again. Meanwhile Tytus is having fun in the Wild West. He discovers a watch mine and sets up a company. He gets rich and doesn’t want to go back to normal life. When Romek and A’Tomek finally find Tytus they are forced to kidnap him. When they jump out of the movie the realise they aren’t in Poland, but in Africa. That makes Tytus happy, because he gets to visit his family.

“How To Get Alcibiades” by Edmund Niziurski is a story about relations between grade 8 students and teachers from a primary school. The boys find the best way to teach teachers to move smoothly from class to class without unnecessary effort. The main characters of the book: Ciamciara, Zasępa, Pędzelkiewicz and Słabiszewski (whose funny nicknames are related to their habits) are looking for a way to do that.  The clever boys find an older high school friend named Shakespeare who sells them a way to teach Alcybiades history. The “way” turns out to be a trap set by Shakespeare who leads the 8th grade students on a true path of self-studying. The “way” works discreetly and has nothing to do with traditional science.

Tajemnica Starego Witraża is a collection of stories about the amazing adventures of a group of teenagers. The main character is a girl with an amazing ability. Marta was born in Poland, but she has lived outside Poland all her life. Once she goes on holiday to Warmia, where she is cared for by her uncle Jurek, an old gentleman who is her father's godfather. With her uncle’s grandchildren she lives in a house full of antiques and works of art, where every corner holds a scrap of secret.

Tajemnica Starego Witraża. Trzy krople życia.

In the house by the lake, the heroine meets Helene, a girl from the past. Together with her and uncle Jurek’s grandchildren, Alicja and Kacper, she solves the secrets of an old stained glass painting. Their joint activities result in a new quality of FRIENDSHIP, which appears in the ordinary lives of lonely and quiet teenagers. A FRIENDSHIP WHICH IS WORTH RISKING.

The story is full of secrets, unusual spells and mysterious clues. It is a story for the brave and the mysterious. For those who are not afraid of dark secrets and their guardians. Also, for those who are not afraid to use magic to overcome evil. But it's also full of humor and funny situations.

It’s a must-read for everyone!

""Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow" by Jessica Townsend

# data[].attributes.body
Review by: Julia Marek, grade 8,

Wielka Wieś school, Poland.

Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow is the first part of a series of books by Jessica Townsend. It follows the story of a young girl touched by the Eventide curse. A girl called Morrigan, obviously. “What is the Eventide curse?” one may ask.

Cursed Children – just like Morrigan – are said to bring bad luck to everyone they talk to, touch, or even look at. Fortunately, not for so long. See, Morrigan is supposed to die...

This book is great because of its specific climate. One may call it weird, but I prefer the term: interesting. It’s fantastic and quirky in almost a fairytale-like manner. It’s a huge chaos, however, the author seems to handle it perfectly. She manages to mix fake Pegasis with betrayal and death with parsnip, not making it sound entirely ridiculous.

What’s amazing about this book is its originality. In here, you won’t find the extremely overused, orphaned protagonist trope, the infamous trio of friends from the beginning, or overly confident main character. No tall, eloquent elves or grumpy dwarfs, so popular in fantasy worlds. Nevermoor lives its own very life (just like Hotel Deukalion, you can say) full of umbrellas and Magnificats.

Nevermoor is quite new, released only recently – in 2017. Therefore, you shouldn’t worry, you won’t have to suffer from long, elaborate descriptions (similar to the one you’re reading right now) and not–so–up–to–date vocabulary or situations. Instead, you’ll find a great share of humor and wonderful characters. What are you even waiting for?

It’s certainly not a book for adults or more mature teens. They would probably call it bizarre and laugh in your face. Nevertheless, if you are an endless seeker, it might be a perfect choice for you. Great for fans of books such as Harry Potter or The Little Prince.

Even though I’m not so into the fantasy genre anymore, I still enjoy rereading this book once in a while. Seriously, it’s great. Go for it.

J.K. Rowling wrote a series of books about Harry Potter (8 volumes). The author describes the boy's adventures. In the first part we met a hero. He was eleven years old and it was his birthday. He lived with his aunt and uncle. They didn’t love him and ignored him. Harry Potter got onto Platform Nine And Three – Quarters. There was a train that will take him to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

There are Hermiona and Ron in Hogwart Express. They will later become his best friends. They lived at Gryffindor house. The day after arriving, they started their lessons. Children learned for example: magic, speaking spells, flying on the broom. His the best adventure was finding the Philosopher’s Stone. Whoever had this stone was immortal. It could possibly be used by an evil wizard. Harry Potter saved the stone.

There are lots of amazing adventures and magic in this book. I recommend this story to everyone.

The book “The Girl Who Stole Books” is a work by Markus Zusak, a writer who, at least in this book, uses and develops a writing that is particularly different from what he was used to, making it difficult to interpret at first, demotivating your reading. However, as we read, the interpretation seems increasingly simple, with a fantastic and attractive story. It is a book that undoubtedly awakens our most emotional side, from laughter to crying, proving that this narrative is truly magnificent; we cling to the book and, consequently, making it difficult to interrupt its reading. The book portrays an unforgettable experience of what it was like to live during the 2nd World War, by a German couple and an adopted girl, Liesel; they hide a Jew in the basement, Max, who is becoming very close to Liesel, however, the Jews were the most despised people at that time, leading to their mass extermination; soon Max had to be hidden. In short, it is a remarkable story that has a very unexpected ending; however it is still a book that everyone should read and appreciate.

This book by José Mauro Vasconcelos, a Brazilian writer, is autobiographical. The first edition was in 1968. At that time (and even now), being a child was not always (it is) easy, but being a child in a large and extremely poor family even worse ...Zezé is a boy of only five years old, who, with the lack of affection from his family, walks the streets doing "silly things", so everyone says he has the devil in his body. This child, feeling alone and without anyone to talk or understand him, invents for himself a fantasy world, in which a lime orange tree, which he found in the yard of his new home, is his confidant and best friend .It is a book that teaches children to dream, to create adventures and to know how to play without the need to resort to technology. It is a book that teaches adults the different ways of looking at a child. So I advise everyone to read it!

I advise all my colleagues to read it, as it is a book that keeps us alert and awake due to its tragic history, in which human values were called into question! The time portrayed is that of the 2nd World War, which took place from 1939 to 1945, and was the most comprehensive War in history, the scene of territorial disputes and enemy attacks! In this book, the Jewish population was exterminated, persecuted, tortured, devalued, put in concentration camps and decimated in gas chambers. The cover of the book is presented with the stripes and colors of the “pajamas” used by the so badly treated Jews. The message in the book shows that we are all the same regardless of the clothes we wear or the nationality we have, effectively important is the kindness of the heart!

“Esteiros" - is a book by Soeiro Pereira Gomes and talks about neorealism, more specifically about a group of boys who instead of going to school work to survive. Sagui, Malesso, Guedelhas, Maquineta, Gineto and Gatinhas are the protagonists of this story, who, every day, had to act like adults even though they were children. The book is divided into four chapters with the name of the seasons: autumn, winter, spring and summer. We think this is due to the fact that each chapter is characterized by the emotion present in each season. For example, winter in the book is marked by floods and a period of great sadness and difficulties. We enjoyed this book very much, as it portrays the difficult times of some of our ancestors and makes us reflect on the luck we have and, many times, we do not enjoy it in the best way. The author presents a dedication, not only to the children of those who suffered, but also to the following generations: "For the children of men who were never boys, I wrote this book." Therefore, we advise everyone to read this work!

Michelle Richmond's “The Pact” is a novel with great psychological suspense that makes us not want to stop reading it. The work tells the story of two young people, Alice, who is a lawyer, and Jake, who is a psychotherapist and counselor, who, on their wedding day, received a gift. This gift was a direct ticket to a secret club called, "The Pact" that aimed to make marriages happier and longer lasting. In that club, they had rules and punishments to follow, as examples are the bracelet and necklace that Alice had to wear for breaking some rules. However, there were not only negative points. There were parties, strong friendships and all the participants wanted the best for each other. But is Alice and Jake's love eternal? Did they make a fatal mistake? I have a great impression of this book and advise reading it to young people who are interested in romance books. If you want to know the end of the book, you only have to read it, because it really has a fascinating and irresistible story.

I read the book “The Twins of Auschwitz”, by Eva Moses Kor. I believe that the message that the book “The Twins of Auschwitz” wanted to convey was a message of hope and faith, because Eva (one of the twins) never gave up helping her sister, believing that one day it would all end, because she had hope in see your family again and be happy again. This book also calls for forgiveness, because, in the end, Eva knew how to forgive Josef Mengele (Nazi scientist) and all those who caused her pain and suffering, she forgave all the atrocities that she did in the past. It is a book that inspires us to have courage and audacity to overcome any situation, however difficult it may seem. The concern and complicity that Eva has with her twin sister, Miriam, is something that moves us. The importance of family and friendship above all. Eva remained firm and strong, showed resilience and fought to the end, thanks to the desire to protect herself and her sister. This is an impressive work, which touches us deeply, moves us and makes us believe that, in the midst of suffering, there is still a glimmer of hope.

It is part of one of the best selling sagas in the world, the “Harry Potter” saga.I really like this book, because it shows the adventures of a wizard who is in the 3rd year of a magic school. These adventures involve spells, monsters and mysteries and the whole story brings strange concepts like time travel, sorcerers who transform into animals, enchanted maps and werewolves. The adventures of the young Harry Potter are around a sorcerer who was imprisoned in Azkaban, the prison of the sorcerers, and who apparently wants to kill Harry Potter. But at the end of the book written by J.K. Rowling, Harry finds the answer to some doubts and has a surprising revelation that floods him with happiness despite the proximity of the summer holidays.This book is, simply, fantastic, because it has an inherent quality, successful dialogues and a lot of magic.

I read the book “The books that devoured my father”, by Afonso Cruz. This book surprised me positively, as it addresses current and very interesting subjects. Although at the beginning I found the development of the narrative a little confusing, I confess that, as I was reading, the story told seemed increasingly attractive and fantastic. In this book, the story of Vivaldo Bonfim is told, a book lover who, one day, while pretending to work, got lost in the middle of words, letters and disappeared. The work, narrated by Elias Bonfim, Vivaldo's son, recounts Elias' relentless search to find out where his father got lost, ranging from classics about romances to unforgivable murders. At the same time, it addresses topics such as bullying, through the day-to-day situations of Elias and his friend, Bongo. Despite the story of a boy who lost his father and now tries to find him seems a little cliché, I think the story is told in such a charming way that it captivates any reader. In conclusion, I would just like to point out that this work, metaphorically, tells us about the way in which we are not the ones who devour the books, but rather the ones who devour us and trap us in its plot, transporting us to other worlds and taking us on fantastic trips.

One of the books that I read and that impressed me most was the book “The number of the stars”, by Lois Lowry. It is an unforgettable and moving book and a true example of friendship beyond differences. The book tells the story of Annemarie, a ten-year-old Danish girl and her best friend, Ellen. After the invasion of the country by German troops, she faces the threat of deportation just for being Jewish and to protect her friend, Annemarie welcomes her into her home, making her pass for her sister. Later, as Ellen's entire family was in danger, Annemarie and her parents do everything they can to help her escape from Denmark to Sweden, as in reality happened to so many Jews who lived in that country. Despite being fictional, this book is based on the incredible history of solidarity and survival in Denmark from World War II, of which so little is said. With so many manifestations of racism today, this book shows us, through the young protagonist, that everyone, young and old, can help fight those who reject difference. It is a book that addresses a very important topic that should not be overlooked and which is very important to talk about so that nothing like it happens again.

During this week, I had the privilege of reading the book “It was unintentionally that I wanted you”, by Portuguese writer Raul Minh`Alma; it was the best book I have ever read! "When we least expect life, it brings us what we try to reject". This book portrays a romance between a woman, Beatriz, who worked in a home and took care of an elderly person, Nicolau, a wise man and a deep connoisseur of life. Nicolau had a grandson, Leonardo, a boy from whom, at the beginning, Beatriz did not have a good impression, as he was rich, ill-mannered and pampered; however, the two fell in love. Nicolau had promised that he would write Beatriz the recipe for her to be happy in love, but only if she made Leonardo a better person and helped him make peace with his past. The recipe was in an envelope and could only be opened when Beatriz completed her mission. What Beatriz didn't know is that this mission would transform her own life forever ... I enjoyed reading this book, as I identified a lot with the female character; it is a beautiful romance that gives us the recipe for being happy in love, a situation in which we sometimes have difficulty. I recommend this reading that will take you from the first to the last page.

This book is one of my favorite books, as it contains a mixture of facts and imagination. The story is set in Caer Dyvi, now Aberdyfi (a village in County Gwynedd, Wales), on the island of Atlantis, and in Ynys Witrin, now Glastonbury (a small town in Somerset, England); but the story also has passages in the “Land of the Picts” (Scotland), in Eboracum (York), in Deva (Chester), in Maridunum (Carmarthen), in Caer Legionis (Caerleon) and Londinium (London). The story presents us with many historical characters, such as “the fishing king” (Avallach), “the lady of the lake” (Charis), St. David of Wales (Dafyd), Morgan Le Fay (Morgana) and Taliesin. In this book, the story of the fall of Atlantis, the journey of Princess Charis and her family towards Ynys Prydein (Great Britain), the discovery and education of Taliesin as a druid bard are simultaneously told. I recommend reading this fantastic book to anyone who likes adventure, magic and history, as it includes several references to the real and mythological world, such as the lost Atlantis, St. David of Wales, the witch Morgana and to Emperor Constantine II. I really like this book, thanks to Stephen Lawhead's way of writing and thinking: he created a well-connected narrative, added a breathtaking suspense, giving rise to an amazing climax. I'm sure I'll read the next ones in this cycle, Merlin, Arthur, Pendragon, Grail and Avalon.

"The Pearl", by John Steinbeck, by Sofia S. (7.º Grade)

This work was worth reading because it deals with a very interesting and easy to understand topic. I had never read any book by John Steinbeck, but I really liked it, because it focuses mainly on the issue of injustice and social inequality, also addressing family values, consequently, the importance of the family, avarice and happiness itself. This parable is a metaphorical story and tells, with a few pages, what human beings are at this moment. Steinbeck's work reflects on the smallness of this world which, for something as superficial as a pearl, leads people to be dominated and, at the same time, to be "blind" with the simple glimpse of the wealth they may have; this work criticizes the Man who goes to his limits because of greed. On the other hand, this book tells us a beautiful story of how parents, in order to save their child, go to the end of the world, never giving up and always being together, even with all the evils and obstacles that cross in their way. “Α Pérola” is a simple language book, easy to interpret, full of action, adventure, and unexpected events and outcomes. The fact that I was able to provide a mix of emotions was another reason why I liked this work, since it tells us moments of extreme happiness, for example, when Kino found the pearl, and moments of extreme sadness, like the death of Coyotito . In short, I advise everyone to read this little roller coaster of emotions, which we call “The Pearl”!

One night, Peter enters the children's room and while trying to recover his shadow, which had come loose, wakes up Wendy, the oldest of the Darling brothers, who ends up waking up the others to meet Peter Pan, the protagonist of the stories they used to listen and end up convinced by Peter and Tinker to go to Neverland with them. There, the Darling brothers know a new world marked by the absence not only of parents, but mainly of the responsibilities that they used to carry in London. The brothers are faced with complete freedom to create their own rules and live the way they want in a place where adult life will never call them - which is an important aspect of every book. Despite this, the Darling brothers still miss their parents, so Peter decides to take them home. Along the way they had a confrontation with Captain Hook, his biggest enemy. At the end of the confrontation, Peter Pan throws him at the Tic-Tac crocodile that devours him. The final part of the story will have to read it to find out how it ends! Good readings!

“The Little Prince”, by Antoine de Saint Exupéry, by Constança S. (5.º Grade)

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite book is “The Little Prince” and its author is Antoine de Saint Exupéry. In my opinion, this book is very valuable, because it shows us that the simplest of life is the most beautiful and valuable. Firstly, this work speaks of feelings such as friendship and respect for others. One of the parts that I liked the most is when it makes us realize that the most important thing in life is really invisible to our eyes. This statement is transmitted to the little prince by a fox, with whom he also learns affections. She tells him that to be true friends they needed to be intimate. It is important to say that this work shows that children are more authentic, more truthful than “grown people”, as we are told in the story, because they run away from what they really like. History gives us the example of a man that the little prince knew. He did not want to drink water and took pills to keep from being thirsty, not realizing that when you are thirsty and you drink water it is when there is pleasure and, therefore, the feeling of happiness, as if we had found a treasure. Soon “grown people” are not as happy as children, as they more quickly realize the true value of life. This book made me realize that one only seeks well with the heart, because loving something is enough to be happy. I advised everyone to read the book “O Principezinho”, I am sure you will not regret it. It is an inspiring story, which is kept in the memory of the heart.

One of the books I read a short time ago was “The Widow and the Parrot”, by Virginia Woolf.My curiosity about this book arose because I found the title a little strange ... and I decided to read it to understand what I was talking about. I ended up finding it very interesting! First of all, the story tells us about the adventure of a poor widow who receives the inheritance from her brother, but, unfortunately for Mrs. Gage, was hidden. However, as the story unfolds, she will be found by James, the parrot. In addition to this, history shows us that we must never give up and that, even if everything is going wrong, we must be kind, because if we do, happiness and well-being will be on our side. I also liked the affectionate way that the widow treats the parrot, I recently had an animal and I feel the same affection for it! Finally, I found the vocabulary very rich and very realistic.

“Story of a seagull and the cat that taught her to fly”, by Luís Sepúlveda, by Rodrigo Reis (6.º Grade)

The “Story of a seagull and the cat that taught her to fly” was written by Luís Sepúlveda, who was born in Ovalle, Chile, in 1949. In my opinion, this book is very fun and interesting. The work talks about a seagull that did not know how to fly and a black cat called Zorbas that did not give up trying to help her. What I liked most about the story was when Zorbas was taking care of the little gull and two other cats who wanted to eat appeared. In my opinion, this parable conveys feelings of solidarity and friendship between the cat and the seagull, because he wanted to teach her how to fly.I have to say that I really liked this book for the way it was written and for its illustrations and, therefore, I recommend reading it.

The author of the book “The Mystery of the Missing Cat” is Enid Blyton, an author who was born on August 11, 1897, in East Dulwich (London), and died on November 28, 1968, in Hampstead (London).

The author of the book “A Granny Gangster” is the British David Williams. This writer, and also a comedy actor, was born in London on August 20, 1971, and is now 49 years old. I chose this book because I found the title very curious and thought that this could be a funny and interesting story. And in fact, it is so! The “Granny Gangster” is a narrative text that tells the story of Ben, an 11 year old boy and his paternal grandmother. Every Friday, Ben sleeping at his grandmother's house, against his will, because he thinks she is very bored and only thinks about playing Scrabble and eating cabbage soup. However, as the story unfolds, Ben changes his mind about his grandmother, discovering that, after all, she is lively and full of stories to tell. The part of the story that I liked the most was the moment when Grandma and Ben decided to steal the British Crown Jewels, and ended up being discovered by the Queen of England. This was an unexpected and exciting time! I highly recommend reading this book, as it is educational, making us think about the relationship we have with our grandparents and the prejudices that we often have towards them. It is very important that we spend time with our elders and know how to listen to them. We always learn more!

"Koiza", by David Williams, by Joana (6.º Grade)

# data[].attributes.body
The book “Koiza” is a work of comedy and was written by David Williams, who was born in England in 1971 and is now 49 years old. This is the story of the Manso family. Mr. and Mrs. Manso, very tame and shy, had a daughter named Magda Manso and, as the name implies, Magda should be very shy and tame like her parents. But in fact, Magda was the most arrogant and heartless child in the world. She always wanted more: more toys, more sweets, more and more. Then, as Mr. and Mrs. Manso were unable to impose orders on their daughter, she was like that. One day, Magda asked her parents for a "Koiza", who set off on an adventure in search of Koiza.
My favorite part of this book was when Mr. Manso came home, months later, and Magda claims to have already bought Koiza at a pet store. It was a funny part.
The lesson I learned from this work was that we cannot want everything, otherwise we can end up with nothing, because Magda always wanted everything and, at the end of the story, ended up with nothing, without friends, without family and without toys. I recommend reading this book, as it is a hilarious work and it seems to take us to another world.

Olga Tokarczuk was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature and the Man Booker Prize (2018). Joanna Concejo was the winner of the book of the year (2013) and Special Mention of the Bolognahazzi Award (2018). The first is a writer and the second is an illustrator. Which one has more value? Good question. The awards, in themselves, may not always distinguish the best of all the proposed candidates, but, of course, they recognize, both for one of these artists and the other, a merit difficult to achieve in the art of writing and writing. to illustrate. In this book everything will seem a little strange, at least very unusual. And to people who are more curious, more observant or more sensitive, it will raise many questions. But surely when you leaf through the book, and as many times as you do, you will find the key to the safe with the answers that your soul will accumulate: how can you know so much about the whole life of a gentleman in a whole book in which only is there a page written in its entirety and two others, one with three lines and one with seven lines? How did I realize such important things? How is it that when I read a little more than a page of a book and look at its illustrations, I got to better understand what is happening in our civilization? After hours / days / weeks you will have more and more answers to these questions and others that your spirit will ask. The illustrations will challenge you and, without giving up on it, you will make wonderful discoveries about yourself and others. This work was only published in Portugal in October 2020 and, since I have it at home, it was on my nightstand. It brings me calmness and the will to live. I enter a world of a little more peace and harmony. So, just browsing and looking at some illustrations or reading a few lines for three or four minutes, I feel the tranquility approaching. The same will happen to you.

"Anne Frank", by Isabel Thomas, by João Reis (6.º grade)

# data[].attributes.body
The book I read was "Anne Frank". It belongs to the collection “Little Books on Great People” by Isabel Thomas, an English author. In my opinion, the work is educational and cultural. This book tells the life of a Jewish family, in Nazi times. For those who don't know, the Jews were persecuted by the Nazis at the time of the Second World War. Many of the Jews lived in hiding and Anne was no exception. But what makes this girl special is that, despite having spent two years in hiding, she never gave up on her dream of being a writer. Although she died young, her father used the rest of his life to share his daughter's story. I recommend reading this book, because the vocabulary is not very difficult and the book is not very complicated either; enriches us culturally and humanly; it leads us to reflect on life and reminds us that each of us has rights and duties since children and as teenagers and adults. I finish, quoting a phrase from the author, page 59: “What we have in common is much more important than what makes us different.”
