By Holly Davie]]> 2020-06-18 08:10:50 UTC https://padlet.com/Oscar_Hedstrom/6815i92zj35i5xf1/wish/631775424 Butterfly Lion by Michael Morpurgo: ebruggink https://padlet.com/Oscar_Hedstrom/6815i92zj35i5xf1/wish/631777003 Butterfly lion is written by Michael Murporgo is a fiction novel for children and young teens.It doesn’t have an outstanding genre but I do feel like it is quite a sad,emotional and maybe slightly dramatic book.It is about a young boy named Michael who runs away from boarding school and meets an old lady where she tells him about a  boy named Bertie who lived in South Africa.Bertie had adopted a white lion cub but was later on forced to send the lion away to a circus and go to a boarding school to Wiltshire which he escaped from his school and meets Millie and became good friends.They spent a lot of time flying their kites and telling each other stories about his childhood in Africa.But when they end school war breaks out and a letter comes that Bertie has to join the army.From there on it is a journey for him to find back his loved ones:his lion and Millie.After the story being told Michael does take actions to from what he has done but more I can’t say without any spoilers.

I liked the book because in my opinion it flows very well and has many different mini plots inside of one big plot.I also think the language is very well used because the words are all powerful yet I didn’t need to pull out a dictionary.

**** Medium and quite short
(The one star less is purely because the writing style is simple but I love the plot)

Seventeen years later, after Gandalf confirms this is true, he tells Frodo the history of the Ring and advises him to take it away from the Shire and throw it into the Crack of Doom, since that is the only way to destroy it. Frodo sets out, along with his gardener, servant and friend, Samwise "Sam" Gamgee, and two cousins, Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck and Peregrin "Pippin" Took. On their way, they were attacked by the Nazgûl, the servants of Sauron...

This story is divided in three parts,  The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The return of the King, all three parts has been made into movies. It is also preceded by The Hobbit and followed by The Adventures of Tom Bombadil.

LIKED: The story has a amazing plot and great characters with individual detailed characteristics. It is full of extraordinary challenges.

Andy and Terry living in the Treehouse. The number in the book title increases by 13. 
In the 104-story Treehouse, Andy had a toothache because he used Terry's marshmallow toothpaste.
He should finish his book but he couldn't finish his book without buy a Jock Writer 2000TM. He tried to buy it but it was sold out in 2$ store. It was available only in 2000$ store but they don't have 2000$. So they went to their money making machine. Unfortunately, Terry made a mistake. He pulled the lever down and a lot of honey spurted in the making money machine.  And another bad thing happened. 100 bears rushed into the Treehouse and thrown a lot of bread to Andy and Terry. Can they solve this mess? Can Andy buy Jock Writer 2000TM and pull out his rotten teeth?
I like this book because the story is very funny and creative. I think great illustration added more fun to the story.

rating 100/100  Treehouse stories are always fun
I recommend this book to you.

]]> 2020-06-18 18:01:12 UTC https://padlet.com/Oscar_Hedstrom/6815i92zj35i5xf1/wish/632551048 A Monster Calls - Patrick Ness mhummel8 https://padlet.com/Oscar_Hedstrom/6815i92zj35i5xf1/wish/633292655 GENRE: Fantasy, novel
STORY: A teenage boy, worried about his ill mother, is visited by a mysterious creature every night. The being took the form of a tree and specifically comes at 00:07am, this all seems silly to Michael (the boy)  but when the monster starts leaving physical features in his room by morning, Michael questions his sanity. 

The abnormality that visits him doesn't just do it for pleasure and fright, but also to tell a meaningful tale, expecting that once he has told them all, Michael will have his own.

I must say that this book really twists your mind, as you also will start to question things, and that is a great feature of this book. It really interacts with the reader and also makes us feel sympathy with the boy, and pain.

Although it has a standard genre, there is more to it, hidden within the pages and the plot. For example I personally thought the conclusion of this story was quite sad, yet I was satisfied with the ending. 

RATING: 5/5
As I already stated I love the plot and how interactive this story was with the reader, how it really hits you.

It was a long book with many pages and I think could be classified as a MEDIUM, but some might say it was hard.

Dirk is a great place to do basic Dutch-style grocery shopping, but for anything high quality or specialist, you'll need to go elsewhere. 

For example, if you are hoping to cook an Asian meal - a part of the world with a rich culinary heritage and home to 4.5 Billion people - you wil be sorely disappointed. You can buy soy sauce, jars of pre-made ''curries''and instant noodles. This section is about one metre wide.

What Dirkz lacks in exotic incredients, it makes up for with frozen pizzas and other deep-fryables. The frozen pizza section stretches for about 20 metres down half the length of the supermarket. Gourmet!

One other thing Dirkz could really improve on, though to be fair, so could every other Dutch supermarket, is the amount of plastic packaging. Everything, including carrots, mandarins and potatoes comes wrapped in plastic. Terrible for the environment. 

However, they do have a good baked goods section. Breads are simple, but you can pick up good quality pastries for a low price and good freshness (I recommend the ham and cheese croissant). It's also worthwhile checking their specials, which can be super good value. 

Overall, I think their name sums up their brand. A basic supermarket for basic needs - like pants - but not much else. 

3 Stars
