Braveheart takes place in Scotland in the 13^th century. The English King Edward I invades Scotland and becomes its ruler. Many Scots want to fight back but  they do not have a leader. William Wallace becomes their leader when an English sheriff kills his wife. He turns from a peaceful farmer to a rebel. He forms an army of a few thousand men and beats the English. But King Edward is not stopped easily and the Scottish nobles do not want to  support William for long. He wins the love and the secret love of the King’s daughter-in-law, Princess Isabella, but he cannot fight against England and his own countrymen. 

I really liked Braveheart. I recommend it if you like historical novels. It is full of action. The vocabulary isn't very difficult so it is easy to read. I chose it because I saw the film in which Mel Gibson is the main character. I think the film is better than the book.

When Lewis Carrol was a child, he was very good at writing word games and puzzles. He loved latin and Mathematics.
Alice´s Adventures in Wonderland is read by both adults and children; it has been translated into many languages, made into plays for theatre, and filmed many times.

What´s the book about?

It´s the story about a little girl, called Alice. She has a dream. The characters in Alice´s dream are now part or our language. We talk of people “ grinning like a Cheshire Cat ” or being “ as mad as a hatter ". And when anything strange happens, we often say, just like Alice in her dream “ curioser and curioser ”.

What do you think about the book?

It´s a fantasy story. I like the characters and I like Alice´s adventures. I think it is a lot of fun. It is very well described and it is very easy to visualize the characters and enviroment.
