         <description><![CDATA[<p>The name of my book is The Nothing To See Here Hotel written bySteven Butler and illustrated by Steven Lenton. The genre is fantasy and I enjoyed it because it was suspenseful and it was exciting. My favourite character is Frankie Banister(main character) because he is adventurous.

A similar book would be Bella Broomstick as there is an evil person in both books and both of the main characters have similar personalities.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Intro: </strong>Hello. My name is Millie.</p><p><strong>What is the name of the book?</strong> The book I’m going to be talking about is the the Primrose Railway Children.</p><p><strong>Who is it by?</strong> The author of this amazing book is Jacqueline Wilson. She is actually one of my favourite authors and in this book she really drops hints here and there about one of the characters.</p><p><strong>What is the genre?</strong> The genre is adventure fiction. An adventure fiction is something exciting and extraordinary; often a quest or a mission. I found that on BBC Bitesize.</p><p><strong>Why did I enjoy the book?</strong> I enjoyed the book because I love all the personalities of all the characters and their different needs. Also, I enjoyed the sense of mystery throughout the book. Jacqueline Wilson also included so much emotion and it continued to change.</p><p><strong>Who is my favourite character?</strong> My favourite character is the main character. Her name is Phoebe and I like her because she has a creative imagination and lifesaving ideas.</p><p>I think the age range would be 9 and above because of the deep emotion, but it is a happy ending.</p><p>&nbsp;<strong>Would I recommend this book to others?</strong> Definitely! I would recommend this book because of the immense excitement I felt and it was unputdownable!</p><p><strong>Was the book similar to any other books I’ve read?</strong> &nbsp;The setting and problem in this book were different to what authors usually pick. The only book I know that is similar to this is the Railway Children.</p><p><strong>Finally:</strong> Please read this magical book and find out the secrets of Phoebe’s life. Also, there is a movie on BBC iPlayer of The Primrose Railway children, which I really recommend watching.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>The name of my book is The Hobbit written by JRR Tolkien. It is a fantasy / adventure story and I liked it because there were twists and turns as you follow their epic journey, it is also a story about how someone  has to be the first. My favourite character is Gandalf the wizard as he always has something up his sleeve surprising everyone in the process. I recommend it to others because it is a thrilling story and you can explore betrayal and the way greed can take over you making even a good person hungry for more .It is similar to then Narnia the lion the witch and the wardrobe as the landscape is described as lush with dark things lurking round the corner.</p>]]></description>

         <title>A Murder Most Unladylike - Review by Lily.S</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>I enjoyed this book so much that it made me go on to read other Murder Books (That are not scary at all!) The time period is set in the mid-nineteenth century and the setting is at a school. It started at the beginning of the book when Hazel( One of the characters.) finds Mrs Bell ( The victim.) lying in the gym. Who killed her? When? Why? How? So many questions revolve around the story in the book and it all resolves in an amazing end! I would recommend this book to everyone. If you enjoy this book, there are a lot more books in the series for more enjoyment. This book is perfect for anyone who likes adventure genres and thrillers. </p>]]></description>

A hobbit is a small person, about half the size of a man. They have very hairy feet and live in nice holes in the ground. He went with 7 dwarfs, Thorin Oakshield the leader of them all and Gandalf the grey a powerful wizard.</p><p><br/></p><p>Why I enjoyed it: I enjoyed the part when Bilbo finds the ring in Gollum's cave and escaped Gollum and the goblins. </p><p>I liked it because it was an very  unexpected twist.</p><p><br/></p><p>My favourite character (and why) is Gandalf because he is a mysterious and powerful wizard that goes off on his on adventures when Bilbo is going to the dragon's lair.</p><p><br/></p><p>Would I recommend it to others: yes because it's an amazing book with lots of imagination for ages 9 and onwards</p><p><br/></p><p>What other books are like it: the Lord of the Rings series carries on Bilbo's legacy with the book centred around Frodo, Bilbo's son.

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Ben Miller, the author of The Night I Met Father Christmas has written an engaging book, which is extremely interesting and fun to read. It belongs to the festive fiction (a Christmas story) genre. It can also be classified as classic literature.</p><p>The book is about a young boy, Jackson, who stays up on the night of Christmas Eve to meet Father Christmas. That night, Jackson accompanies Father Christmas, as they travel across the world delivering gifts to all the obedient children. Then, Father Christmas goes on to tell Jackson the story of how he became Father Christmas.</p><p>I enjoyed the book because of the wonderful story that Father Christmas narrated. I really appreciated the descriptive vocabulary and could easily imagine the pictures in my head. The intricate and detailed illustrations scattered through the pages of this lovely book, helped create more ideas for me to understand the story better.</p><p>My favourite character is Torvil because by the end of the story he feels bad for someone and is brimming with guilt because of a horrid thing that he did. Then, he does a kind gesture and has a complete change of heart. Eventually, he becomes one of the kindest people known to humans.</p><p> I would recommend this book to others, especially if they enjoy a Christmas adventure story. The language is not too hard to understand. I think people aged 8 and above would like reading this story. This book would appeal to a child and has the potential to impress an adult as well.</p><p>I don’t think this book is like any other book I have read. I like it a lot and I think it is one of a kind.</p><p>Did You Know: Ben Miller is an actor in Paddington 2. He plays the character of one of Paddington's neighbours.                                                                                                                                                  </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>The book that I'm going to describe is called A Boy called Hope by Lara Williamson. The genre of this book is humour. I have enjoyed this book a lot because of how determined Dan is to find his biological father when he left him, his sister and his mother. Unfortunately, his dad refused to come back but Dan's mother found Big Dave who would be Dan's father and Grace's father(Grace is Dan's sister). Dan finally forgets about his biological father, but he knows that he will always love him no matter what. This book teaches determination, but also to just except things the way that it is. My favourite character is Grace because she always likes to snap back at people when they talk to her making her a funny character. I would definitely recommend this book to you. I have not come across any similar books to this yet.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><em>Peter Brown's</em> <em>The Wild Robot Protects</em>, is the last book in this best selling trilogy series. This book is from the adventure genre and it follows the wild robot  on a long, final experience to stop the poison tide.  I enjoyed the book because unexpected, unlucky events happened throughout every chapter.  My favourite character is the Ancient Shark, called Harry, because he helped Roz defeat the poison tide. I would recommend this book to children who are aged between 8-10 years old, and that like unexpected twists from adventure books.</p></blockquote>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>The name of the book I read is Northern Lights by Philip Pullman. This is a fiction fantasy and the first of the His Dark Materials trilogy. The book consists of many characters such as: Lord Asriel and Iorek Byrnison.</p><p>The series, including this book, is about an orphan named Lyra Silvertongue, living in Jordon College. In this fantasy world, each human has their own daemon which is a shapeshifting animal that is part of the human’s soul. She finds out that children are disappearing due to macabre experiments to separate the human and their daemon, and vows to rescue them. In this first installment, she meets various allies who help her get to the North, which is the place where the kids are being held. She also meets a lady called Mrs. Coulter, who is her mum. Lord Asriel: her uncle, gifts her an alethiometer: a truth-telling device. This book ends with an incredibly intriguing cliff-hanger, which will probably make you want to read the next book in this series, straight after.</p><p>I enjoyed it because it took me away to an imaginary world where lots of magical things could happen. It also made me wish for my own daemon.</p><p>My favorite character is Pantalaimon: Lyra’s daemon because the book portrayed how wise and helpful he was.</p><p>I would recommend this book to kids aged 8 to 11, as it is a page-turner.</p><p>This book seems similar to the Percy Jackson series, as they are both rich in imagination and they both showcase – friendship, team-work and the power of it.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This book is about a boy called Billy Chan went to a summer camp in the mountains of China but he does not know what to expect.The camp he went to is called Camp Dragon . When he arrived he and his fellow campmates stumble across upon the entrance to a secret mountain, and they found four real life warrior dragons trapped inside. The dragons are fearsome, clever and dangerous. My favourite character is Dylan because he is a very nervous, anxious and scared person but he manages to overcome his fears and go on adventures with his friends. This the first book in the series and I hope to complete the whole set. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p><em>The Longest Whale Song is by Jacqueline Wilson</em> and the genre is fiction - realism. This means the events are made for the book up, but can happen in real life. I really enjoyed this book because I learnt from it about illnesses that could happen, and it had a happy ending. My favourite character is Ella because she kept thinking happy things and never gave up on her mum getting better. I recommend this book to 7-12 year olds because it is very interesting and exciting to read.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This lovely, adventurous book is the 5th book in the Narnia series. I enjoyed it because it is a very well-written story which is about when Edmund and Lucy (2 of the 4 Pevensie children from the other books in the Narnia series), and their cousin, Eustace Clarence, were teleported through a painting into the magical land of Narnia. When they fell into the painting, they landed on the ship drawn in the painting, the <em>Dawn Treader</em>, where they met King Caspian (from the book Prince Caspian), Lord Drinian, Rynelf and personally my favourite character, Reepicheep (a valiant mouse).   </p><p>In this book, these characters and several dozen sailors, explore different islands. Firstly, they visited the Lone Islands, where they met a few slave merchants who captured them to sell them to people. Caspian was sold to one of the seven lords he went to look for on this journey, Lord Bern. Lord Bern and Caspian went on to find the others and made the controlling ruler, Gumpus, think that they were coming with a huge army and Caspian tricked him into giving up his land to Lord Bern. </p><p>The next island was my favourite island and was called Dragon Island, named by them. On that island, Eustace transformed into a dragon by lying in a dragon's cave. Later on, Aslan changed him back to a human by taking off his layers of dragon skin. </p><p>Next was an island which Reepicheep named Deathwater. Here there was a pond, which if you went into you would turn gold. The fourth island had invisible people who, long ago, were cursed with being one legged creatures. They thought they looked ugly so they put a spell on themselves to be made invisible. Now they want to be seen again and needed a little girl (in this case Lucy) to read a spell out from a magic book to make them visible again. Lucy did what they asked and then moved on to the penultimate island, the Dream Island, where they found a Sea Serpent and one of the lords. That lord helped them battle the Sea Serpent to get to the final island, where they  encountered 3 of the lords sleeping in an enchanted sleep, a girl and her father named Ramandu, who was a retired star.</p><p>The father told Caspian to leave one of their crew at the end of the world, never to come back. This was to be done in order to awake the 3 lords from their enchanted slumber. Reepicheep volunteered for this task. Whilst they were on the journey, Caspian exclaimed he wanted to come to the end of the world with Reepicheep, but didn't go in the end. When they came back Aslan made Lucy, Edmund and Eustace a magical door to our world and Caspian married the daughter of Ramandu. </p><p>If you like adventurous books then this is the book for you! Even if you don't like these types of books I would still recommend it as a great book to read. Like I said, Reepicheep is my favourite character. This is because he is a kind and cosy creature. </p><p>The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is a lot like the book Prince Caspian, the 4th book in the Narnia series, and a tiny bit like the book The Last Bear by Hannah Gold. This is because they are both quite venturesome books. I would give it a 4.8 out of a 5 star rating.</p>]]></description>

It also teaches the reader that money doesn’t buy happiness, friends or family. There are many different characters in the story and each one has a unique personality, some are funny and others were mean! I really liked chapter three which is called, “Who’s the fattiest?“ because it is an important point of the story where Bob and Joe meet each other. &nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Who is your favourite character and why?</strong></p><p>My favourite character is Joe Spud, he is a very kind boy who likes helping people. In the story one of the kind things he did was to help Mrs Trafe fix her damaged hip. Joe gave Mrs Trafe five thousand pounds just to fix her hip because she wasn’t walking properly but she spent it on her body and not her hip. Joe felt really sad because Mrs Trafe let him down by spending the money carelessly.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Would you recommend it to others?</strong></p><p>I’d really recommend this book to others because the story grips you from the start and it also has fun parts. Aside from that it teaches you that money isn’t everything and to be kind.</p><p><strong>Is it similar to any other book you’ve read?</strong></p><p>No, it is the first time I have read a book like this, I really enjoyed it! It has pushed me another</p><p>David Walliams and I am currently half way through reading “Code Name Bananas” which is really funny.</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>I borrowed this book from my cousin and I think it is ranked as one of my top five favourite books . It is about a boy called Nicholas who goes to London to work for the Bishop in a few chapters into the story the bishop is poisoned. The  suspects are Lady Anne Boleyn, Harry Price and Rick Roose. Nicholas and his friend Meg are investigating who the poisoner could be, because Meg thought the wrong person was put for treason. As an extra the blurb is given down below.</p><p><br/></p><p>Blurb : </p><p><strong><em>"Poison !" one of the  priests called in panic, his cry echoing down the hall from the dining room. "The bishop's food has been poisoned !"  </em></strong></p><p><br/></p><p><em>When Nicholas arrives at Bishop Fisher's home,alone and desperate for work, he is first mistaken for a spy. Given a job as a kitchen boy, he soon realises that secrets, threats and intrigue swirl around the bishops house.</em></p><p><br/></p><p><em>After a dish of pottage is poisoned, one of the bishop's staff is taken to the tower of London and awaits a dreadful punishment.</em></p><p><br/></p><p><em>Worried that the wrong man is being accused, Nicholas and his friend Meg set about investigating the matter themselves. Will they solve the mystery of the Tudor poison plot before it's to late?</em></p><p><br/></p><p>I enjoyed reading this story because after reading a few chapters, it you are consumed into the story and I felt that if I closed my eyes I'd feel like I was there in the moment as it happened.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>The book that I am reviewing is called Slime written by David Walliams. This book is about a boy called Ned who has a sister. His sister is always mean to Ned! One night when Ned was going in the bath he saw all kinds of gunk. Then the gunk became Slime!! Slime and Ned had all sorts of cool adventures like flying above the ground. My favourite character is slime because he could transform into anything. I would definitely recommend this book to a friend because of the close relationship between Ned and Slime. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This book is by SF.Said and it is one of the most exciting book I have ever read! The genre is adventure and it even has martial cat arts too! They have very cool names! I enjoyed it because it is a story of finding your way through a new place even though you have never set foot outside your home! My favourite character is Varjak because he achieves many things throughout the book and manages it alone without any comfort of safety for a very long time! I would recommend it to anyone who likes martial arts and is years 4 and above(Only because it might be too scary but if you would like to read it then you can!) It is very similar to Cogheart which is by Peter Bunzl because of the way the storylines match eachother! I hope you enjoy this book as much as I have!!</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>The Nothing To See Here Hotel written by Steven Butler is about a boy named Frankie Banister [one 32th troll] whose parents own a hotel full of inhuman creatures. When he has to deliver lunch to his grandma [who is full troll] she sees a goblin delivering a letter , she opens the door to see the goblin make a crash landing. the goblin sends the message "the goblin Queen would like to send her son to the hotel but if her son doesn't like it she will come and kill them."The hotel staff prepared the place doing it like headless chickens. When the goblin prince arrived he started demanding stuff that wasn't prepared he started fainting but his servants weren't surprised [because he does that a lot]. Then he makes even and more ruckus[wanting to claim the sea, the hotel and more], but only a few days after the prince has stayed they realised that the prince had been stealing from them.</p><p><br></p><p>I would recommend this book because it has a twist out of nowhere to surprise the reader. The genre of this book is fantasy. It is not similar to any book I have read and my favorite character is the prince goblin because I love the character who makes the twist.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Christopher Edge is an award-winning children’s author whose books have been translated into more than 20 languages. His book 'Escape Room', is a suspense-filled narrative with Ami and 4 other children, who arrive at the Escape Room. She thinks it is just a game- an escape room with difficult puzzles and challenges to beat before the time runs out. But when the Host locks Ami and her teammates in the first room, she quickly realises that it is no ordinary game but something more sinister involved.</p><p>I liked the book and how it relatable and almost like a real-life scenarios where the teenagers have to use their brains instead of having the answer given to them and how everyone has to work as a team to figure it out. The best part for me was the plot-twist ending because it was very surprising and I certainly didn’t expect it.</p><p>I would certainly recommend this book to children aged 9-15 years-old who love going to Escape Rooms and mystery-themed books. 'Escape Room' is a brilliant read, providing a mix of friendship, history, detective thinking, and deception...</p><p><br/></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>My book is called the Longest Whale Song by Jacqueline Wilson. The genre is in between non-fiction and fiction. I enjoyed it because Jacqueline Wilson makes her books interesting because the vocabulary extends how interesting the book is. My favourite character is Ella because her personality is different to a human like us because it change every now and again. I would recommend Jacqueline Wilson books to girls particularly because they are books that girls would enjoy.  Boys are able to read them but first would enjoy them more.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>The Return of the King is a fantasy novel written by J. R. R. Tolkien. The story follows the final battle between the forces of good and evil fighting for control of Middle-earth. The heroes of the story are Aragon( He was a Ranger of the North, first heard of by the company with the name Strider and later revealed to be the heir of Isildur, an ancient King of Arnor and Gondor. Aragorn is a descendant of the rulers of Gondor and Arnor, and is considered the lost heir of Gondor.), Frodo( Frodo is a hobbit of the Shire who inherits the One Ring from his cousin Bilbo Baggins, described familiarly as "uncle", as he is very old compared to Frodo and undertakes the quest to destroy it in Mount Doom in Mordor. Frodo is repeatedly injured during the quest and becomes increasingly burdened by the Ring as it nears Mordor. He changes too, growing in understanding and tries to  avoiding violence. On his return to the Shire, he is unable to settle back into ordinary life; two years after the Ring's destruction, he is allowed to take ship to the earthly paradise of Valinor.) ,Gandalf ( He is a wizard, one of the Istari order, and the leader of the Company of the Ring. As a wizard and the bearer of one of the Three Rings, Gandalf has great power, but works mostly by encouraging and persuading. He sets out as Gandalf the Grey, possessing great knowledge and travelling continually. Gandalf is focused on the mission to counter the Dark Lord Sauron by destroying the One Ring. He appears to three of the Fellowship and helps to counter the enemy in Rohan, then in Gondor, and finally at the Black Gate of Mordor, in each case largely by offering guidance. When victory is complete, he crowns Aragorn as King before leaving Middle-earth for ever to return to Valinor.) and Sam (A hobbit, Sam is the chief supporting character of The Lord of the Rings, serving as the loyal companion of Frodo Baggins. Sam is a member of the Company of the Ring, the group of nine charged with destroying the One Ring to prevent the Dark Lord Sauron from taking over the world. Sam was Frodo's gardener. He was drawn into Frodo's adventure while eavesdropping on a private conversation Frodo was having with the wizard Gandalf. Sam was Frodo's steadfast companion and servant, portrayed as both physically strong for his size and emotionally strong, often supporting Frodo through difficult parts of the journey and, at times, carrying Frodo when he was too weak to go on. Following the War of the Ring, Sam returned to the Shire and his role as a gardener, helping to replant the trees which had been destroyed while he was away. He was elected Mayor of the Shire.) the story follows these people and a few others through the battle between good and evil but will they prevail read to find out. I think this is a engaging fantasy novel aimed at people aged 10+. I loved the novel as it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time .</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This fantastic book is about this boy from Ghana named Kofi who has been scouted by  an agent to play for football club City FC. But his agent, Jonathan Shearer, tricks him into coming and so Kofi was stuck in England with no money. Luckily, there is a nice boy named Danny who is there to help him.

         <description><![CDATA[<p>The book am reviewing is Wonder. It's funny while also using a serious topic. It is about a boy called August who has a bad facial disorder. Lots of funny moments like everything going on and a good message saying everyone is different. It also states to never judge a book by it's cover just like this book with a weird cover. My favorite character is Jack Will because he is kind and everyone calls him by his first and surname unlike all of the other characters. I rated it 9/10. I recommend it to a 9 to 12 year old. It is a must read and needs a sequel.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>I love this book because it’s so freaky and weird. The book has a town called Freaky!  </p><p>I like the character Zack Danger.  He is funny, brave and bold.  The story is about a gang that saves the day whenever there is freaky stuff happening. The book is recommended for those that like action in stories and a liiittle bit of Spooooky! I would give it for now a 9.5 out of 10. </p>]]></description>

         <link>https://padlet.com/ggilbert34/alphabookrecommendation/wish/3338478190</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>The name of the book I am going to tell you about is Billionaire boy and it is written by the author David Walliams. I think the genre of this book is humour. I enjoyed this book as Joe is a child, but he is so rich that he has basically everything one could want in life. However the main reason why I liked this book was because at the end of the story Joe and his dad have no money and are now poor. My favourite character is Joe as his character represents a really funny person. As he is quite heavy, in cross country for his school he pays another heavy person to come last so he doesn't get laughed at by other kids. I would highly recommend this book to you as it is really funny and entertaining. I have not yet come across a book like this before.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Genre: mystery and a sprinkle of magic</p><p>I loved this book as when one mystery was solved another popped up and I was completely glued to the pages. My favourite character is Amari because although she is a magician and everyone hates her, she is still resilient and stands up for herself. I would recommend it to others, it is completely different to all the other books I have read. </p><p><br></p>]]></description>

The magical fantasy aspect is so very believable even though I know that magic does not really exist.</p><p><strong>Who is my favourite character?</strong></p><p>My favourite character is Hermione because she is always very intelligent and smart. Even though she is so prim and proper, she does still get up to mischief with Harry and Ron. She is a mix of good manners and fun.</p><p><strong>Would I recommend this to others?</strong></p><p>Yes. I would recommend this book to others. I think people aged 8 and over would enjoy this book more because the language can be a bit challenging in parts. Also, people who enjoy magic and fantasy would definitely appreciate the whimsical elements.</p><p><strong>Is this similar to any other book I have read before?</strong></p><p>Yes. It is similar to the first Harry Potter book in the series. But the second one is different and unique in its own way as well. It also reminds me a bit of The Wishing Chair series by Enid Blyton because it also has magical and adventurous facets.  </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>R.J.Palacio’s <strong>Julian</strong> is a stupendous book to read. Although this is an incredible book, I suggest that you read <strong>Wonder</strong> first. <strong>Wonder</strong> is about a boy named Auggie who has a face deformation. Nobody’s nice to him because of his eccentric and outlandish face. Especially a kid named Julian. As you can tell by the name, <strong>Julian</strong> is about how Julian was feeling when Auggie came to Beecher Prep. [The school that they both go to.]</p><p>Julian was quite a popular boy then, but when Auggie came to the school, nobody liked him. The reason is that Julian bullied Auggie a lot and that Auggie and a few other kids faced off and fought with some seventh graders. Julian listens to a story his fashionable grandmother told him about how she was not friendly to a child deformed on the legs.&nbsp;</p><p>That child saved her from the Nazis and took her into his house.</p><p>She could not express the huge quantity of gratitude to him as the Nazis took him and killed him. Julian changes his horrible attitude and writes an apology letter to Auggie. <strong>Julian</strong> and <strong>Wonder</strong> are both phenomenal books and I hope you read them too.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Amari and the Night Brothers is a book by B.B Alston, and is a mystery/adventure book. My favourite character is Amari because she is determined to find out who Muearu is. I really enjoyed this book and found the ending very surprising!!</p><p>My favourite part of the book is when Amari and all her class mates gain their badges. There are many badges to collect and they get cardboard, next plastic, then wood, followed by glass, stone, copper, iron, bronze silver, gold and the rarest badge which is moonstone!</p><p>I would definitely recommend this book to any children aged 8+, who like mystery book and LOVE surprises! </p>]]></description>

School property has been damaged, and Greg is the prime suspect. But the crazy thing is he's innocent. or at least sort of.</em></p><p><br></p><p><em>The authorities are closing in, but when a surprise blizzard hits, the Heffley family is trapped indoors. Greg knows that when the snow melts he's going to have to face the music, but could any punishment be worse than being stuck inside with your family for the holidays?</em></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Book Review</strong></p><p><br></p><p><em>It's November and Greg got a Christmas elf. It was weird because the elf kept on following Greg around for some reason. after he throws the elf in the bin, his mom got him a doll. </em></p><p><br></p><p><em>The doll's name is Alfrendo, a realistic doll for boys. The first thing that Greg did was to feed him his vegetables in his dinner so he doesn't need to eat his vegetables for a whole month. He also uses him as a comic stander, Greg ties his shoes, take Alfrendo on walks and Greg even sings to Alfrendo when he needs to sleep.</em></p><p><br></p><p><em>When Greg lost his doll, well, Mom was not that upset when I was crying heavily so Mom decided to give me this game called </em><strong><em>Net Kritterz. </em></strong><em>I didn't know what the game was about but it was superb when I played it.</em></p><p><br></p><p><em>I had this little dog called </em><strong><em>Gregory's Little Friend</em></strong><em>. In the game there is a mood meter where it says the feelings of the dog and now it's </em><strong><em>QUEASY</em></strong><em> which is very bad but when I fix him he gets better so now he's </em><strong><em>SNAZZY</em></strong><em>. </em></p><p><br></p><p>For all that time I would not clean my room, get my dirty clothes off the floor, get the food into my room and never stop playing.</p><p><br></p><p>Few years ago, I had a lot of trouble and there's still the <strong>Star Of The Week</strong> <em>bumper sticker ( which I brought from a teenager in detention and stuck it on) so I tried to remove it. Then there was a big scratch on my dad's car.</em></p><p><br></p><p><em>Few days later, I was in a lot of</em></p><p><em>newspapers for good and bad stuff. </em></p><p><br></p><p><em>The next day, I was with my brother and we driving until a old lady was slow so we gave her a ride because she was lost but knew the way from town.</em></p><p><br></p><p><em>I was back into the newspapers about a good thing</em> <strong>Gregory Heffley saves the day!</strong></p><p><em>I was so shocked about that and I had my freedom</em></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Book Review by Praneel </p><p>The book is called The Butterfly Lion by Michael Murpurgo. It is an adventure story about a friendship between a boy called Bertie and a cute lion cub  🦁 Bertie used to live with his parents in Africa and one day he found a rare lion cub that was white from the African veld. Their relationship was very strong 💪 as they were always together and no one could separate them. However there was a sad 😢 point in the story when the lion got taken away to a circus 🤡 in France and Bertie was sent to a boarding school in England. At the time 🕰️ they got separated , Bertie promised that where ever they went , they would find each other. Bertie grew up and after many years he finally reunited with the white lion and was able to spend some time together. I want my friends to read the story because they can 👌 find out how a lion cub came to be known as The Butterfly Lion.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This book is about a boy named Jak and he experimented was a survivor of the TITANIC crash and unfortunately his brother ted and his dad didn't survive the crash. I chose this book because when I open the book it feels like I am in the titanic or looking down at the Titanic. In this book there is happiness and sadness. The happiness was everyone was having a great time. The sadness was approximately 1500 to 1635 died on the ship. Apart from that, I would defiantly read this for defernite. ENJOY :D    </p>]]></description>
