Title:
The Secret Garden
Author:Frances
Hodgson Burnett
This wonderful book written by, Frances Hodgson Burnett
is about a disagreeable girl called Mary Lennox. She was sent to live with her
hunchback uncle, Craven Lennox as her father was held a position under the
English Government and her mother had died from cholera when it was in its most
fatal form along with Mary's Ayah and servants.
I disliked how Frances mainly used Yorkshire as
speech and how the story was only set in the manor. I also disliked how the
story was only about the secret garden and Dickon's tamed animals. I would love
this book more if the author could make it more adventurous.
I would suggest this book to year five and above as
anyone lower could find the Yorkshire challenging to read.
I believe the author's hidden message is to, not judge a
book by it's cover as this is what Mary did when she discovered Colin crying.

Title:
The Boy Tales of Childhood
Author:
Roald Dahl
The book
is about Roald Dahl as a child and the tails of childhood.The main character is
Roald Dahl as a child who gets into
trouble a lot and moves schools a lot. He likes playing with his friends. I
wouldn't like to be his friend because he gets into a lot of trouble.
The three things I liked about this book were
when his he and his friends put a dead rat into the gob stopper jar and when
his family put goats tobacco in his sister's boyfriend's pipe. Finally when he
moved to Repton for high school.
Three
things I didn't like about this book were when Roald gets beaten, when he gets
into a lot of trouble and when he gets hurt. Roald Dahl could make this book
better by adding a bit more of his older years.
My
favourite character in this book was Corkes because he was a teacher who let
the students do cross words and other things instead of maths.
I think
this book should be read by children the age of 8-10 years old.
My
favourite part of the story was when Roald and his friends put a dead rat
in the gob stopper jar at the lolly shop.
The
message in this story is the story of Roald Dahl's childhood and the schools he
attended.

Title: The Witches
Author: Roald Dahl
Book Review
I believe
that this book is a must have for all ages, boys and girls. This book is made,
in my point of view for mostly young teenagers because some words in this
book might be too hard for little kids. It is not made just for young
teens but I recommend that they read the book.
It has a
huge amount of interesting characters, lots of descriptive language and much more. I liked how the author, Roald
Dahl tells the reader about the past in the first chapter then in the second
chapter he tells the reader about the present. I also loved how in the end
that the little boy was living happily with his grandmother.
I really
hope that Roald Dahl releases a following book because this book was so amazing
that I just wanted to keep reading. That's why I loved this book so much.
The Witches is one of the best books I have ever read.
