Title: Matilda
Author: Roald Dahl
No. Of Pages: 240
Genre: Realistic Fiction

Book Summary
Matilda is brilliant. At the age of four she has taught herself to read books and spends long afternoons reading Charles Dickens while her mother was out for Bingo. Yet, Matilda's parents don't understand that she is brilliant and just thinks that she is a nuisance. So Matilda decides to get her own back. She starts to play tricks that are funnier and cleverer than the last.

Book Review

There's a lot of commotion happening in this book, so I'll keep it short.

Matilda, is a 5-year-old girl and had an exciting life! She was able to speak at the age of 1 and a half. At the age of 4, she taught herself to read and spends long afternoons reading Charles Dickens in a library while her mom is out for Bingo.
I thought that was amazing because NO child could do the amazing things Matilda did. I didn't like Ms. Trunchbull because she always tells everyone what to do and even the children's parents are too scared to even talk to her. I thought that was just mean of her. One time, Ms. Trunchbull blamed Matilda for putting a newt in her jug, which I did NOT like at all because you don't just blame someone for doing something they didn't do. It's a good thing Matilda made friends with a girl named Lavender. They bothe even have the same characteristics, gutsy and adventurous. Matilda's life is hard, but she always handles them easily. I'm glad in the end, the headmistress Ms. Trunchbull is gone and Matilda got to live Ms. Honey and she(Ms. Honey) became the new headmistress of her school! I was full of joy when I read that part. Now, Matilda can have a nice and peaceful life with Ms.Honey, who is also free from Ms. Trunchbull's grasp.

Conclusion
I would recommend this book to people who loves fiction stories so that they could learn how to deal with their lives properly, and not tricking others. And even though it's fiction, it's realistic because it also tels about differnt types of people that we can encounter in our daily lives.]]> 2019-05-08 05:32:33 UTC https://padlet.com/s_mercy113075/yoqvj7fh7ufp/wish/357915345 s_mercy113075 https://padlet.com/s_mercy113075/yoqvj7fh7ufp/wish/358474836 Reviewed By: Mercy

No. Of Pages: 29
Genre: Folklore, fiction

BOOK SUMMARY
Purbasari, a princess from West Java, was exiled to live in the jungle because she had a contagious skin disease which had a bad odor. While in the jungle, she meets a langur which she named 'Lutung Kasarung'. The langur helped her cure the skin disease, and it was gone! She was full of joy and started to pack. Meanwhile, her sister Purbararang, visited her with her husband, Indrajaya. And for preventing her sister reclaim the throne, she must pass a challenging condition.

BOOK REVIEW
In the Kingdom of West Java, there were 2 princesses, Purbasari and Purbararang, who lived with their father, Prabu Tapa. Even if they WERE both princesses, they have different personalities. Purbararang was lazy and arrogant. I can relate the lazy part to my life because sometimes I don't really want to get out of my spot when I do something. Back to the story! Purbasari was completely different though! She was friendly and diligent. She never considered herself as the King's Daughter. She was humble and was even able to befriend everyone, even the commoners! No wonder many people loved her. One day, as Prabu Tapa was retiring, he entrusted the kingdom to Purbasari. This made Purbarang rage with anger. She went up to her dad and told him that she should take care of the kingdom because she was the first born. But it's not because of that her father said. Upon hearing this, Purbararang stormed off.
A few days later, Purbasari had to be exiled! I was shocked because she needed to be exiled because of a skin disease! I felt sorry for her. The next months, she met a langur who helped her cure the skin disease. That langur's name was 'Lutung Kasarung'. When Purbarang came , she saw that purbasari was well and the disease had gone. When she told her sister that she wanted to go home, Purbararang tried to prevent this from happening. so she gave her 2 conditions. Purbasari passed the first condition, but the second one was challenging. When it looked like Purbasari had lost, she hasn't! The langur transformed into a man. Lutung kasarung then explained why he was a langur. Purbararang admitted defeat, and Purbasari reclaimed the throne, married Lutung Kasarung and lived happily together.

CONCLUSION
I would recommend this to my little sister so that she could learn being jealous is not right.]]> 2019-05-09 13:58:07 UTC https://padlet.com/s_mercy113075/yoqvj7fh7ufp/wish/358474836 s_mercy113075 https://padlet.com/s_mercy113075/yoqvj7fh7ufp/wish/358752219 Reviewed By: Mercy

Title: Groosham Grange
Author: Anthony Horowitz
No. Of Pages: 154
Genre: Adventure, Fiction

BOOK SUMMARY
8-year-old David Eliot is having troubles in Beton College, which led him to being expelled! But as a letter arrived in the Eliot's house. Mr. Eliot, david's father read the letter that said that if he wants his child to have better grades, Groosham Grange is the place!

BOOK REVIEW
David had a hard time in Beton College, which made him end up being expelled! I felt sorry for David because he was expelled. When he was sent to Groosham Grange, another school, he finally was able to build up character and returns home successfull. My opinion on this book is that it was really exciting because I got absorbed by the book and won't let my eyes go anywhere but the words(in the book). My favourite part was when he got home so that he could have a better life than he did before. He even knew how to use magic because Groosham Grange taught him and his freinds Jill and Jeffrey how to use their magic wisely. I can't wait to read the Sequel : Return To Groosham Grange.

CONCLUSION
I would recommend this book to my little sister so that she can imagine how it looks like because it definitely made my imagination go wild!]]> 2019-05-10 05:28:02 UTC https://padlet.com/s_mercy113075/yoqvj7fh7ufp/wish/358752219 s_mercy113075 https://padlet.com/s_mercy113075/yoqvj7fh7ufp/wish/359169444 Reviewed By: Mercy

BOOK REVIEW
It was Christmas Day and Ellie and Jasmine came to visit their friend, Summer. Excitement fizzed through their body because today was the day where they would go to a magical kingdom to celebrate Christmas and get to meet Santa! When they had gotten there, they met the King, King Merry is his name. They had a lot of fun there, especially meeting their Pixie friend Trixibelle, who was the King's assistant. They even played in the snow! I wished I was there so I could know how it feels like to be in the snow since I've never went to places like Japan or America(there's snow there). But a terrible Queen, her name is Malice, wanted to ruin Christmas because she didn't like to see people be happy. But luckily, the 3 girls were able to stop her and her storm sprites(Queen Malice's servants) and saved they day. They were even able to meet Santa! When they went back to Summer's home, they will always remember the day they met Santa.

BOOK REVIEW
Ellie, Summer and Jasmine had come back to the Secret Kingdom to check out what's happening to the bright jewels in Jewel Cavern since it's becoming dimmer and dimmer by the minute. King Merry and his assitant pixie, Trixibelle was there too. Turns out a fire-breathing dragon had made the bright glow disappear from the magnificent jewels. So Trixi summoned the Dream Dragons. Although they don't have wings, they have magic that helps them fly in the sky. They were able to defeat it by sending it to sleep witha lot of Dream Dust(from the Dream Dragons). Summer took out a fairytale book and the dragon was sent back to its story. They thanked the Dream Dragons as they flew into the moonlit sky. King Merry and Trixibelle thanked Ellie, Summer and Jasmine for their bravery in defeating the fierce dragon. Trixi waved one last time before magically bringing them back to a museum(School field trip).

CONCLUSION
I would recommend many people to read this book because you could get absorbed by it. But mostly children at the age of 6 and above would love to read many more stories like this.]]> 2019-05-12 04:55:44 UTC https://padlet.com/s_mercy113075/yoqvj7fh7ufp/wish/359172174 s_mercy113075 https://padlet.com/s_mercy113075/yoqvj7fh7ufp/wish/359181737 Reviewed by: Mercy
