I think this book is very good but I find it boring. I think I was bought the book when I was a little to old, but now I have finally completed it. I love how cheeky and naughty the children are they remind me of myself  and I also love how the characters have different emotions and personalities. So if you are interested in climbing, trees, friendly and un-friendly characters and magic then I think you would like this book! Enid Blyton is very talented in the way she writes she is an amazing author.

Book : Crenshaw

Author : Katherine Applegate

Publisher : HarperCollins Children's book

Genre : Fiction

Language : English

Characters : Crenshaw, Jackson and his family

Review:

I liked the book and it was an inspiring story. However, the story is not believable. My favourite character was Crenshaw an imaginary cat 🐈. The chrenshew helps Jackson on his needs. I completed reading the book within 3 days.

Jackson and his family were very poor. The imaginary cat Crenshaw came to his life and supported and helped him.

The book had three parts out of which I liked mostly was the third part where Crenshew & Jackson's had conversations during night laid on the grass.

The portion i felt sad while reading was that jackson's parents struggles to raise their family.

Overall the story was heart touching and very interesting one.

The two cities mentioned in this novel are France and England and the theme of the story is about the French Revolution.

The story is about an orphan boy Nat, who comes to the New England Plumfied school and his interaction with other children. The theme of the book is that the children needs love, caring and education to grow mentally and physically.

This is the classic collection of animal tales, an interesting book for children at any age. Mowgli, a boy raised by a pack of wolves in the Indian jungle. The story tells about the family, relationships, nature and living in society. Also, taught us that we need to face our fears confidently and triumph over them.

Review of book "The Story of Heidi" by Nano

Author : Johana Spyri

Review : This book is about a girl name Heidi a 10 or 12 year old girl. The genre of this book is folklore and adventure. once upon a time there was a girl name Heidi who lived with her aunt Dete for many years then her aunt decided to left Heidi with her grandfather. Also this book was release in 2006 well..... publish in 1881. My favorite part of this book was when Heidi came back to her grandfather because her devilish aunt to Frankfurt for a better life. The reason why aunt Dete to her to Frankfurt because there is a sick girl name Clara has always been sick in bed and Clara wants lot's of company. And house owner Mrs. Rottenmayer and Mr. Seeseman father of Clara. Mean while Mrs. Rottenmayer dislike Heidi and Heidi does like this place so....... she runs away to go back to Grandfather he was so happy and shocked then a week of 3 days Clara came in a wheel chair and granddad was shocked so he carfully pick her up and ... she can WALK. This book was really FUN.I liked it very much.

Review of book "Gullivers Stories"

Author : Jonathan Swift

Review : Lemuel Gulliver, a voyager of the sea. He leaves his homeland, England, in search of adventure. He washes up on a strange island. The people speak a different language, have odd rules and are fearless. Will they welcome Gulliver with open arms or will there be war? I enjoyed the book as the author has written certain situations, which you can relate in your everyday life. For example: When Gulliver washed up in Lilliput, he did not exactly fit in due to his “massive height”. This situation can be related with your first day of school. You don’t know anyone or anything. And it gets pretty awkward wen trying to talk with your classmates for the first time. I finished this book in about 2 days, which itself would be a good recommendation. I felt the story would have been better if the author gave a bit more information on Gulliver’s family. This is because whenever the subject changes to Gulliver’s family all you know is he had a wife and a daughter. You don’t come to know about the bond with his family. Although, I feel he didn’t like his family that much. Why would he travel so much if he loved his family? The story was especially strong when it came to describing characters. When it came to Gulliver, Dean Swift presented his courageous spirit beautifully. He described how Gulliver decided to follow his passion, how he felt when he met the Brobdingnagians. When the author described Gulliver at sea, it felt as if, I was there myself. I was shocked when the author mentioned that a giant bird had picked Gulliver’s cage a was soaring for the skies. I think everyone should read this book as it also talks about trust and truth. It talks about friendship and bonding.I enjoyed reading this.

The plot is based on a life of a beautiful and innocent girl who faced many heart shaped from her stepmom and her daughter. Cinderella is the beautiful girl mentioned her heart treatment ella semaims good and pious of his mother

Wished. One day king of her country announce a grand ball during the prince who should choose a bride for himself. Ella too wanted togo for party but her stepmom did in allowed her.
