Dear Ms.Pradhan,
“Becoming fearless isn’t the point. That’s impossible. It’s learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.”
The book I am recommending is “Divergent”, because it is a dystopian book 📚, and the story is about Tris and her friends 👫 and family were going to rule out the power hungry 😋 Jeanine Matthews.
The group sneaks into Dauntless headquarters, where Tris encounters Peter and forces him to lead them to Erudite’s control center. Her father sacrifices himself in a shootout, and Tris goes in alone to find Four, who is now under stronger mind control designed for Divergents and attacks her. Using her knowledge of his fears, she manages to wake him from the mind control and the two enter the central control room, where Erudite leader Jeanine is about to have the Dauntless army execute the entire Abnegation faction. Tris uses a sample of the mind control serum on her to force her to cancel the program. The group escapes the compound and boards a train out of the complex.
I hope that you would read the book 📚!(^_^)

“Brilliant series and if you haven’t read them yet why not? Start at the beginning and work through them all. Laugh out loud funny and I love reading about all the things they have in their treehouse” From the author.
The book I am recommending is” The 104-story treehouse” because it is a ridiculous and delightful book. The book is by Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton. Publish on 23 August 2018.
The story is about Andy and Terry live in a colossal treehouse where they always write books. Last morning Andy used a Marshmallow Toothpaste, then the other day his teeth were hurt because the toothpaste is not for people that call Andy. The next afternoon, they have to write a joke book that needed to hand in on the next day to Mr Big Nose. They have no time, so they brought a JOKE WRITER 2000 that cost $2000000.They have no money and they use their make money machine and brought the pen. JOKE WRITER 2000 is that we will write jokes faster.
My favorite part of the story is when Terry tries to make Andy happy, he was not helping he was just using the remote feet to step on him. He feels very hurt. Andy feels sadder and hurts when Terry uses the remote giant foot to step on him.
I hope that you would read the book, It was a brilliant and emotional book.

“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you’re all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn’t happen much, though.” The book that I would like to recommend the book “Charlotte’s Web”because it is a fascinating novel that was about a story in a farm of a pig and a spider and Fern.
What I had learnt in this book was to not kill animals,respect every life,and we should understand others just like the book has written that Fern understand the animals so they are friends,just like we should understand each other.I also learnt to not underestimate pigs because Wilbur could do a backflip.
My favourite part was”Templeton poked his head from the straw .He noticed that the end of Wilbur’s tail in his mouth and bit it,just as hard as he could bite.The pain revived Wilbur.In a flash he was back on his feet”The reason that I like was because it was funny that a rat bit a pigs tail.and the pain revived it.
At last,about the question that I whether liked this book.The answer was um….um…..aaa……yes,I like this funny book

“You don’t need a reason to be happy” is a quote from my favourite book
, also the book I recommend, titled “Wayside Stories from wayside school” This book is very interesting, with very funny stories from weird characters. I am very sure you will love this book. Because it is very funny.
This book teaches you to write in 3rd person. Also, adding humour to normal stories. It is very creative, and it can give the reader good mindset of creativity. The story is about a teacher patrolling school and finding some funny stories from the students. Each person has a very funny story, with its own plot twists.
My favourite thing about this book is that it is very interesting and funny to read, as well as good content. My favourite part was when Shelly fell asleep in class and fell down the window. It is special because it is very funny and how the teacher was teaching. It is very hilarious, when Louis catches her on the playground. And Shelly was still sleeping! The content is very good and the word choice is nice. It is very fun to read this chapter during the school stories!
This is an amazing book, because it’s is very interesting and funny, also good content. I like this book very much, so I think you will like it too. This book is good for readers who like to laugh, and also for readers who don’t really like to read. It is a thrilling ride when you are reading this book.

“Needless to say, the fact that he actually spoke to me at all practically caused me to pass out. And then the fact that he was actually saying something that sounded like it might be a prelude to asking me out–well, I nearly threw up. I mean it. I felt really sick, but in a good way.” – Meg Cabot (The Princess Dairies)
I would like to introduce a book to you. The name of the book is ‘Royal Crown’ and the author is Meg Cabot. This book published on 19th May,2019 and the publisher is Macmillan Publisher.
And here is a little introduction for this book… Olivia Grace Clarisse Mignonette should be having fun. Her best friend is visiting from America, her sister’s royal coronation is only three days away (the first coronation of a female ruler in two centuries), and her new boyfriend is a very smart and charming prince! But it’s very hard to celebrate when her royal cousins are scheming to take over the throne, Olivia and her friends are ended up with royal babysitting duties, and her snobby cousin Luisa is gossiping about her, especially about things that should be personal . . .
How do you think about the book? If you feel interested in this book, I recommend you to read from book one. And here’s the list. ‘From The Notebooks of a Middle School’, ‘Royal Wedding Disaster’, ‘Royal Crush’ and ‘Royal Crown’.
I love this book because the author’s journal style is humorous and have a lot of touching moments. My favourite part of the book is when Luisa is gossiping about her that she kissed Prince Khalil, because I think it is entertaining me very much.
Readers Comment,
“Readers will thrill to tag along on this festive adventure.”
“A sweet fantasy, both funny and highly satisfying.”

“Tonight,look up at the moon. Look at it closely. Stare at it. Now ask yourself: Am I feeling brave? The exciting book that I would like to recommend it to you is called “AN AWFULLY BEASTLY BUSINESS The Jungle Vampire”.
This fantasy book is about a boy called Ulf who was an orphaned werewolf raised by Dr. Helen Fielding. One day, he accidentally found the ghost of the late professor Farraway who instructed him to find and protect a vampire. The late professor was the founder of The Royal Society of the Prevention of Cruelty to Beasts (RSPCB), an organization that aimed to protection legendary beasts and magical creatures. Following the late professor’s advice, Ulf, Tina (a small fairy), Orson (a mountain giant) and Dr. Fielding started the adventure. Although they had many difficulties of finding and saving the vampire, like, the villain of the story Baron Marakai (a beast hunter and the late professor’s son tried to stop them, being chased by gigantic monsters in the island, being lost by surrounded by ghosts and more, four of them had defeated Baron and escaped from dangers. In the end, they were able to save the vampire.
What I had learnt in this book was we should protect the creatures in this world, many of them were endangered, we should not just watching them die and don’t care about them. I also understood learn from mistakes and never give up when we had frustration. My favourite part of this book is chapter 20 as Ulf became a wolf and fought with the villain Baron because it was exciting of reading how they fought.
At last, the reason why I like this book is because I love reading action and fantasy stories as they are creative, imaginative interesting and exciting.

The book that I am recommending is “The Metal-Mobile” because it is very funny and I feel very enjoyable to read it. This book is written by Angie lake and it was published on 23 July, 2005.
This book is about the characters Danny and Percy who were trying to get a ticket to their favourite theme park Metal Way. Their only way of getting it was beating Danny’s arch enemy, Gareth Trumpshaw, in a soap box race. Danny and Percy beated Gareth because Gareth had used the materials that were not allowed in the soap box race.
My favourite part of the book is how Danny and Percy getting materials for the metal-mobile. Both of them had tried so many creative ways to get those materials and it was hilarious to see how they sneaking around the neighbor’s houses for the material.
I really like this book because this book is amazing and it was the funniest book I had ever read in my entire life.

The book I chose to write this blog is Diary of a Wimpy Kid. This book is written by Jeff Kinney.
I read this book on the 15th of July 2019.
I think this book was fun because there are many exciting moments like a party with everyone in the school and many scene that talked about Rowley and his older brother.
This book is one of my favorite books because it is talking about school life and its like me. I recommend this book to all my classmates because its like us, going to school and sometimes having some free time.
My favorite part of this book is that Rodrick and his friends made the house messy while having a party, and got punished by his parents. That happens to me all the time when friends come to my house.
I hope Jeff Kinney will write more books about school life later. If he does, I am willing to read it!

“We hope you never have to cross such a fence…” It is “The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas” by John Boyne. First published by David Fickling. This book is published in 2014.
A 9 years old boy named Bruno’s father is a soldier.Bruno lived with his parents, a 12 years old sister and maids. After a visit by Adolf Hitler, the leader at that time, Bruno’s father is being promoted to be commandant of the concentration camp. So, their family moved to a house close to the concentration camp.
Bruno didn’t know anything. He saw there is camp and inside had people wearing striped pajamas, which means prisoner clothes. Bruno met a boy named Shmuel. They become very good friends.
Next day, he sneaked into the camp. He joined along in the march of prisoners and went into a gas room, then he is never seen again.
I learned that people should free other from innocence. Also, we should have human nature and not allowing genocides. I know that we have to empathy towards others and not to be cool-hearted.
My favourite part of the book is when Bruno discovered there is a camp and met a boy called Shmuel. That is because it seemed to be grabbing me into the book, and I can imagine the whole picture in my mind. It also made me interested in what is happening next.
I really like the book and it makes me nervous reading it. I decided not to judge a book by its cover anymore, because I thought the book would be boring before when I read it. As I have mentioned that it is really true to read this. So I definitely will recommend it to others. Hoping others can learn and have fun from the book!

“Don’t judge others by appearance, but by personality.” The book that I like to recommend is “Matilda”, the book is by Roald Dahl and published in 2001 from Puffin publisher. I chose this as my favourite book because it was a fascinating story that Matilda live with a mean family and changed to a kind family. Although Matilda is a very poor girl, but she is a brave and hard-working girl.
Matilda lives with her mean parents. We mean, they’re mean on mean. They ignore her, which is extra tragic because she’s shaping up to be a super genius. In spite of them, she teaches herself to read and heads to the local library, where Mrs. Phelps sets her up with a very advanced reading list.
Sure, Matilda’s home life stinks. But she’s a clever girl, so she decides to play tricks on her parents whenever they behave badly. She plays three pranks, gluing her dad’s hat to his head, disguising a neighbor’s parrot as a ghost, and dying her dad’s hair blonde. Yes, these are as awesome as they sound.
Then, Matilda starts going to school. On day one, her teacher Miss Honey quickly realizes how smart Matilda is. Meanwhile, Matilda and her friend Lavender meet Hortensia, who tells them all about how horrible the Trunchbull is. They see the Trunchbull throw a little girl through the playground by her hair. Another day, the Trunchbull force-feeds a kid named Bruce Bogtrotter an entire cake. This woman is bad news.
Turns out Miss Honey is really poor. She tells Matilda about her past. After her mom died, her mean aunt straight-up ruined her life. In fact, Miss Honey suspects that the aunt might have killed her father, and stolen all Miss Honey’s money. Oh, and by the way, her aunt is the Trunchbull. We’re totally serious.
Matilda decides to use her telekinetic powers to help Miss Honey, so she practices and practices and practices until the day comes when she can get some serious revenge.
The Trunchbull visits Miss Honey’s class again. The Trunchbull is acting as abusive as ever when she’s interrupted by a piece of chalk that’s writing on its own. It writes that the Trunchbull has to stop cheating Miss Honey, give the things she stole back, and get rolling. Or else. Needless to say, the Trunchbull passes out cold. Wouldn’t you?
Soon we find out the Trunchbull obeyed Matilda’s instructions. Miss Honey moves home and starts living a decent life again. And Matilda, who visits her every day, gets moved up to the school’s highest class. After moving up, Matilda loses her powers. One day, she finds out that her parents are planning to move to Spain, ASAP. Matilda doesn’t want to go with them. At last, Matilda moves in with Miss Honey, where the two live happily ever after.
My favourite part of the story is that Matilda uses her telekinetic powers to help Miss Honey for getting back her home also to help students to kick her out of the school, so students and Miss Honey can have a better life. It is special because Matilda is a very brave kid to prank Trunchbull but not being bullied, that’s why it is my favourite book!

I’ve read I book called the land of forgotten girls and I’m going to introduce this book to you! The author is Erin Entrada Kelly.This book main character is Sol and her younger sister Ming. The book is very interesting, the book is talking about the girls mother died when the girls were small. After that the evil stepmother Vea married to their dad and treat them very bad Vea did not do any housework Vea left all of the housework to the girls. And then their dad left because of “work” and leave the girls to the evil stepmother.
I have learn in this book that no matter how bad your situation you are in keep fighting for yourself and don’t lost your imagination . I’ve learn this in this book because Sol and Ming has a evil stepmother that lock them in the closet but Sol think that the closet is a rocket and their seeing stars and different things in the universe, finally the stepmother Vea unlocked the lock for the closet but instead Sol stayed inside for a little longer just to stay in the “rocket” a little longer.
My favourite part is that mrs.Yeung kept Sol and Ming In her house for 1 night. Why it’s special it’s because that Sol and Ming have never slept in fresh bed sheets and pajamas before and Sol slept very good too! Also when Vea came to Mrs.Yeung’s house and Vea was rude to Mrs.Yeung and Mrs.Yeung roasted her! Vea stumbled out the way and slammed the door when she got back to her house. But they know they can’t live in Mrs.Yeung’s house forever so after a the best morning they have ever had, the went back to their house and got scolded but Vea.
I liked the book very much and this is the best book I’ve ever read before! The parts of the story and really interesting and funny! I can’t wait to read another books wrote from this author!

The book I am recommending is Kingdom Keepers – Disney After Dark, a fantastical thriller by Ridley Pearson ( born March 13,1953), published on August 29, 2005.
I highly recommend this book because it gives you the feeling when you sit on the edge of your chair with excitement and expectations. At first I was sceptical of this series because many books had tackled Disney related stories, but it wasn’t long until I realised this book was unique and stood out among all the others.
In this book, five young teens tapped as models for theme park “ guides” find themselves pitted against Disney villains who threaten both the future of Disney and the stability of the world outside its walls. Led by the scheming witch Maleficent, the Disney villains who call themselves the Overtakers are plotting to destroy Disney’s beloved realm and maybe more, and it is up to the teens to stop them when Disney is closed after dark.
My favourite part of the book is the part where Jez, the former servant of Maleficent, broke the curse Maleficent casted on her and returned to her twin, Amanda.
This prodigious book is very engaging and again I highly recommend all to read it.

The book that I want to recommend for you is a funny book that is about a troublemaker called Nick Allen´s school life and the book made me laugh from beginning to end, the book that I want to recommend for you is a book called Frindle and the author of this book is Andrew Clements.
Nick Allen just loved to make trouble and he always had plenty of great ideas until Mrs.Granger has come. Then, Nick learns how words are created and this inspires his greatest plan of all, it is to invent a word. From now on, a pen is no longer a pen, it is a frindle. Mrs.Granger tried many ways to stop the school to say the new word frindle, but Mrs.Granger still can´t stop the word from spreading from the school to the town then to the city and so on.
I think this book was funny because Nick allen always makes trouble and jokes of the teachers example turning Miss Deaver´s room to a tropical island. There are also many scene about Nick Allen against with Mrs.Granger.
My favorite part of this book is at the last because it is very touching, it is about how Nick Allen become rich by the word frindle, how Mrs.Granger is actually rooting the word frindle by fighting against it, and how Nick thanked Mrs.Granger.
This is a very funny, hope that you can try to read this book!

“You can’t blend in when you’re born to stand out.” The book that I would like to recommend the book “Wonder” It is a nonfiction book written by R.J.Palacio as known Raquel Jaramillo, it is a story about a boy that was born very weird looking. On his first day of school, August tries not to draw attention to himself. His efforts are in vain, and Julian, one of the students whom the principal has asked to help August at school, immediately bullies him for his appearance. August’s hopes for the school year are later raised slightly when he forms friendships with classmates Jack and Summer, both of whom defend him from Julian’s taunts.
What I have learnt in this book is to not bully or laugh at other’s because of his or her appearance “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover”
My favourite part was when Jack punched Julian to proof that he didn’t betray august.

Dear Ms Carmen,
As Jane Austen said “The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.” I strongly believe in this quotation. Books can be lifetime friend. Today I will introduce a book I love— The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank who wrote down her real experience and feelings during the Second World War.
Anne Frank ( 1929-1942 ) lived in the time when German broke into Holland, all the Jews who lived there were sent to concentration camp, where there was no hope of living but death. Terrified, the Frank family hided in the factory where Anne’s father, Otto Frank worked. The hiding place, which they named ” The Secret Annex ” was behind a bookcase. The bookcase was like a door. You can push it and it would flung aside and lead to a staircase up to a house. The German announced anyone who hid Jews would be punished. Of course there were kind people who secretly helped Anne’s family through this hard time. Soon, another family, the Van Daans, with their shy son Peter came to hide in the Annex too. Anne soon fall in love with Peter, but her mother and the Van Daans always picked on her, and they never looked at her good side and babbled a lot like children should not rebuke adults no matter what adults said. Although her father often backed her up, Anne still felt lonely so she started keeping a diary. In the diary, she strongly expressed the desire for the outside world and echoed a teenager’s thoughts just like you and me.
Sadly, this diary accompany Anne only for two years before their secret hiding place was discovered. Anne and her sister, Margot died very soon after they were sent to the concentration camp due to the disgusting living conditions there. Anne’s crush, Peter, died three days before the camp was liberated. Only her father survived the camp. Miep Gies and Bep Voskuiji, the two secretaries working in the building, found Anne’s diaries strewn all over the floor. Miep tucked them away in a desk drawer for safekeeping. After the war, when it became clear that Anne was dead, Miep gave the diaries unread, back to Anne’s father, Otto Frank. After reading Anne’s diary, he decided to fulfill Anne’s wish: to share the message of her diary with people all over the world. He started editing, and in March 1995, the original diary content was officially published.
The best thing of this book is that it was real, like a description book of a teenager’s thinking to the adult world. Although so many years have passed, children and teenagers remain the same. As a modern kid, I feel the same as Anne, as if we lived in the same time. I feel really deep sympathy for her because in the Annex, they had to close all curtains all day along, and they could not go to the toilet before night etc. Besides that, almost everyday she had to face the insult and rude comments made by adults. Anne still survived and became more mature. I wonder if I could survive in there if I was Anne. In the Annex, everyday was unknown to them. Everyday may be the last day of their lives, for their hiding place might be discovered by the German. But Anne was always optimistic, and hoped to become a journalist after the war ended.
From this book, the darkness and the desperation caused by the war were clearly printed in my mind. Ms Carmen, I strongly recommend you to read Anne Frank’s diary. I believe you will love this book.

I recommend you to this book because it is a really uproarious and fascinating, it will also give you an exciting and a jumpy feeling. On the other hand, this book is incredibly good because the character can deeply express his feelings and experience with me.
The main character is Greg Heffley, he has a little brother called Manny and an older brother called Rodrick. Greg and Rodrick always have fights and bad pranks on each other, which is amusing. About that, the book starts when it’s winter, his parents called Frank and Susan saw an advertisement for Isla De Corales on TV, which is the resort for Greg’s parents honeymoon. After they saw that, Greg’s parents think it’s should be a good idea for their family to go there. Unfortunately, Greg didn’t like this idea, because he can’t get his christmas presents if they gone for the trip, they packed their bags and went to the airport.
There were many ups and downs through the book, but the worst thing was they got caught wearing the other customers clothes, and they got banded from the resort. That’s not the funniest part, it is when they sneak into the resort, and broke into the wild side of the resort, which is only for adults. They decided to go home before they got any more trouble.
I really think you should go check the book out, because it is really funny and you would like it.

Dear Mrs. Pradhan
The book I would like to recommend is the book called “A Dog Called Homeless” by Sarah Lean.
This book is about a kid called Cally Fisher claims that she sees her dead mother, but no one believes her. So Cally stops talking for thirty-one days since she thinks that nobody listens to her. Then Cally moves to a new place and met a blind and half-deaf kid called Sam, a very mysterious wolfhound seems to be wherever Cally goes and might be the only living link to her dead mother. After that, Cally learns that even if Sam is blind and deaf, it doesn’t mean he can’t sense his surroundings.
My favorite part of the book was in the ending, when the current guardian of the wolfhound, Jed, explains to Cally’s father that the wolfhound was given to Jed when Cally’s mother died and Jed promised to give the wolfhound the home he should be in. I loved that part since I finally found out the link between the wolf hound and Cally, and who doesn’t like to see families reunite.
I think this book was amazing because it shows that a dog is not just a man’s best friend, but will always be there to help it’s owner.

“Because I am exactly where I should be, doing exactly what I should be doing. That is peace.”
The book that I am recommending you is ” Pax ” written by Sara Pennypacker. Pax and Peter’s story begins when Peter and his father drop Pax off in the woods near an abandoned rope mine. Peter had chosen that spot because he believed his friend would be safe there. Pax soon meets the other foxes who live in the area. Bristle, a female fox, hates humans and blames them for the destruction of her family. Her younger brother Runt tries to befriend Pax even though his sister warns him away from the strange fox. Gray, the elder fox in the area, takes Pax under his wing because he had spent time with humans just like Pax.
Peter is unhappy with his grandfather because the man has the same anger in him that Peter sees in his father. Peter does his best to deny his own anger. It was because he had gotten angry and broken his mother’s gazing globe that he had not been allowed to go grocery shopping with her on the day she had her fatal car accident. Since that time he had sworn to himself that he would not allow himself to get angry. Peter feels he has slighted his responsibility to Pax, so he decides to go back to the spot where he left Pax and take him home.
Peter quickly has trouble on his trip when he falls and breaks his foot. He is taken in by a war veteran who believes she is too dangerous to be around people because she killed a man during the war. Vola sets Peter’s fracture and teaches him how to walk properly on his crutches. The two form a friendship, and Peter recognizes that Vola is not the threat to society she believes she is. He encourages her to stop punishing herself and to share her talents with the community. In turn, Vola encourages Peter in his search for Pax and tells him that anger is not completely bad.
Meanwhile Pax makes friends with and gains the trust of the other foxes. Together he and Bristle have nursed Runt back to health after he lost a hind leg when a land mine exploded. When Peter is able to return to the area where he left Pax he finds that his friend has made other friends in the wild. He knows that is where his friend belongs. Pax recognizes the changes in Peter since the two were separated. He notices his boy has gained the self confidence and emotional strength he needed to stand up to his father.
My favourite part from the book is when Peter found Pax in the woods because it was emotional and warm.
The book reminds us that we have treasure friends and peace. I am sure you would like the book a lot.

Dear Miss Sandra,
I like reading, so I love many different kinds of books very much because they not only broaden my horizons but also give me inspiration.
Charlotte’s web is about friendship and helping each other out. The book is based on the animals on the farm and how Charlotte helps Wilbur from danger. The farmers thought they were just ordinary animals but they were special animals that made a difference.
The main characters are Wilbur the pig and Charlotte the spider. Charlotte is a very smart, kind and helpful friend to Wilbur. Wilbur is funny and friendly but very afraid of talking to other animals. There is also a character called Fern, a kind little girl who loves animals, who saved Wilbur’s life by telling her father not to kill the runt pig, which was Wilbur when he was small. Fern’s father said she could raise the piglet.
Wilbur discovered some bad news, that the Zuckermans were planned to kill Wilbur and turn him into food and he was very upset. Charlotte came up with a plan. Charlotte spun words into her web to describe Wilbur so that they thought Wilbur was special and that was a miracle for a spider to build a web with words.
In the end, Charlotte died and she had a lot of babies. three of Charlotte’s spider babies stayed at the farm and made friends with Wilbur but none of them took Charlotte’s place in Wilbur’s heart.
Charlotte would rather sacrifice her own life for her best friend. My name is Charlotte too, I hope I can have a kind heart like Charlotte in the book. It was a very touching story and I hope you can have a chance to read this wonderful book!

“Tra La LAAAAA!.”The book that I recommend was The Adventures Of Captain Underpants.The author was Dav Pilkey ,the publisher was Scholastic.
I recommended this book because it was hilarious and uproarious,sometimes will be exciting also and the two main character were very wacky.I really liked to read comic book and some fantasy books,what I learn from this book was do not always play in the lesson and need to do the right thing in the right time, every time you do wrong you need to self-reflection.Do not do like George and Harold always made things mess.It was a good for anyone interested in learning from this book because we could see what was their result of doing atrocious thing.
The most funny part on this whole book,was Mr.Krupp was been tricked by Harold and George in his house and Mr.Krupp took all off his cloth except his underpants and went out the school to catch the thief and the thief laugh at Captain underpants(Mr.Krupp).By the way on catching the bad guys, Captain underpants was been caught and then Harold and George used the wood and kill all the robot.At last Captain underpants used his own underpants and shot to the the bad guy Dr Nappy.And the Graduate school was exploded and Dr Nappy was arrested.
In conclusion, my favorite part was Captain underpants used wooden barrel to pretend his underpants.
At last, I think you can go check this comic to read if you are interested.

“We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.”
The book I am recommending is ‘Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix’, a magical fantasy thriller by J.K. Rowling, (Born in 1965, July 31st), published on 2007, July 7th.
I highly recommend this book because it makes you literally sit on the edge of your seat. I could not tear myself away from this particular book. My mother had to yell at me 4 times until I went to do my homework.
In this book, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ronald Weasley rebelled from Dolores Umbridge’s nasty rule over Hogwarts. They started a secret rebel group named ‘Dumbledore’s Army’ to train the Hogwarts students how to defend themselves against the Dark Arts. Eventually, some select members of the Army (Of course including Harry, Hermione, and Ron) battled against Lord Voldemort’s Death Eaters. (Harry and Dumbledore themselves battled against The Dark Lord himself)
My favourite part of the book is when The Minister and his employees saw The Dark Lord himself fighting Dumbledore.
This book is the most interesting book I have ever read. I hight recommend all you read it.

This is my favorite quote in the book that I recommend, Demon Dentist by David Walliams. The publisher was Harper Collins.
I recommend this book because it is adventurous and exciting that makes you want to know the ending.
The story is mainly about a boy called Alfie and Gabz, his friend . They went on an adventure and solve the mystery of the town’s new dentist Miss.Root , who is spooky, mysterious and evil.
She gave out candies and chocolates that she specially designs to make kids teeth rotten and sore, she also gave ‘thoothpaste’ that will burn through stone, and when Alfie threw the tube down the river, the water is boiling and bubbling and schools of dead fish plopped to the surface and floated. Strange things happen when children put their tooth under their pillow and waited for a penny, but all they get is something like a dead slug, live spider, hundreds of
earwigs creeping and crawling beneath their pillow. And Miss.Root is all under the control.
It is very exciting, so I recommend this book to you.

“There is no friend as loyal as a book.” The book that I recommend is The Chamber Of Secrets from the Harry Potter series. I love this book because it is interesting and exciting. I have read it two times.
The story happened in Hogwarts Wizarding school. Harry heard strange whispers from the corridors. Suddenly, the attack began. A lot of students were found petrified. Students doubted that Harry Potter was the murder. Harry, Ron and Hermione found different clues and discovered the secret about the Chamber Of Secrets. They also found out Voldemort was attacking the school again.
My favourite part of the story is when Harry went down to the Chamber Of Secrets to rescue Ginny. Gilderoy Lockhart used a forgetful spell on Harry and Ron, saying this was a secret that students should not know. But Ron reflected the spell on Gilderoy Lockhart and he couldn’t remember anything. So, he needs to leave Hogwarts and recover his memory.
I highly recommend you to read the book because it is so exciting.

”Why are you asking for a book, my dear girl?”Have you ever read Roald Dahl’s books? If you have, then, you must have read the book ”Matilda” before. I read the book on 14th, November 2016. The year of publishing is 1998,1st October and the publisher is Jonathan Cape.
I learn that don’t think that you are more powerful and more important than you can threaten someone. It is incorrect and you will get a consequence for being bad. This book is useful for someone to study and inspired in it because it tells you not to use violence to give others a consequence but use a ”nice” way to tell the person which ”bullies” you to prove that they are wrong.
My favorite part of the book is when Matilda, helps her teacher, Miss Jennifer Honey, for letting her aunt, Miss Trunchbulll, which is also the ”bully” of the story, to faint after Miss Truchbull saw the words of Miss Honey’s dad, Mr.Maganus, actually Matilda. I like the part that Miss Truchbull fainted. It was quite funny and also liked the part that Matilda know how to use her powers and make her life magical. Matilda practiced a lot and I appreciated it when she was tired of practicing and because of her hard work, her effort paid and she helped her teacher to get her life and her apartment back and also to make Miss Money’s life better and to have a normal life. It was a sometimes sad and sometimes happy story.
I liked the story because it was funny and entertaining and also was an educating story for children to read and the pictures are also funny and the words are used clearly. I like the parts that Matilda made fun of her dad and also was a great child in Miss Honey’s eyes. For the characters, I like Matilda the most because she was clever and smart and she did not scold anyone expect Miss Trunchbull, who thought that Matilda put something in her glass of water.

“You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.”
The book that I recommend is “The Land Of Stories”. This book was written by Chris Colferand and was published in the year of 2012 by Little, Brown Books for Young.
The story started with a book that Alex and Conner Bailey got it from their grandma, called The Land of Stories. One night, they were fallen into the book. In order to get back to the human word, the twins needed to find: “Glass that housed a lonely soul up till midnight’s final toll”, “A saber from the deepest sea, meant for a groom’s mortality”, “The bark of a basket held in fright while running from a bark with bite”, “A stony crown that’s made to share, found deep within a savage lair”, “A needle that pierced the lovely skin of a princess with beauty found within”, “A wavy lock of golden rope that once was freedom’s only hope”, “Glittering jewels whose value increased after preserving the false deceased” and “Teardrops of a maiden fairy feeling neither magica nor merry” to make the Wishing Spell. Alex and Conner had a long and difficult journey to collect the above things.
I like this book a lot because it combined different fantasy stories together. It is very imaginative! My favourite part in this story is when the Evil Queen finished the wishing spell and free Mira, It gave me the answer of the mystery why Evil Queen did not love Snow White and wanted to kill her.

“You will know more about yourself when you read a book.”
The book I’m recommending today is a book called “Bluefish”. I love it so much that I read it for 6 to 7 times already. The author of this book is Pat Schmatz.
Set in present day Russet, Wisconsin, the story follows a tall, shy, angry 13-year-old boy named Travis, who is terrified to share his secret that he cannot read. When Travis moves from the countryside to live with his mean alcoholic Grandpa, he begins to miss his old house, friends, and beloved dog named Rosco. At his new school, Travis faces his worst fear when his teacher, Mr. McQueen, calls on him to read aloud in front of his classmates. Along the way, Travis befriends a girl named Velveeta, a spunky classmate with a funny sense of humor and colorful wardrobe. The book touches on themes of personal connection, trust, sympathy, self-acceptance, and coming of age.
At school, Travis is shocked when he is approached by a classmate named Velveeta, a zany and kindhearted girl who wears a different colored scarf every day. Timid at first, Travis begins enjoying and looking forward to Velveeta’s friendly conversations. They sit together every day during lunch, and Velveeta always takes Travis’ dessert. Over time, Travis learns that the colorful scarves Velveeta wears came from her next door neighbor and former babysitter, Calvin, who is now dead. In addition to providing Velveeta with school supplies each year, Calvin instilled a sense of confidence in Velveeta. The scarves actually belonged to Calvin’s wife, who has been gone for many years. Travis is afraid of Velveeta discovering his secret that he cannot read, but he begins to genuinely care for her. As the story unfolds, Travis and Velveeta begin confiding in one another and building a trustworthy friendship. The two even bond over having alcoholic family members. Velveeta, who lives in a trailer with her alcoholic mother, begins sleeping in Calvin’s trailer next door until Calvin’s grown daughter discovers Velveeta and kicks her out. Calvin’s daughter locks the door to his trailer and forbids Velveeta from ever wearing her mother’s scarves.
This story is marvelous and I especially recommend you to read it. I hope you like it!

At last, Sherlock Holmes had a plan, he ordered Jess, who was a fishman and he could catch all the mad cat, then the next day, the cat push Cheney into the sea from a big terrace.

At night, someone suddenly slipped an envelope under Geronimo Stilton’s door, the envelope is saying that a monster is living in the lake. Then, Geronimo and his friend Stevie went to found the monster because they don’t want to miss this chance. At last, the monster appear and the daily news had takes a picture of the lake monster. But it disclose actually the lake monster is just a mechanical monster. So after everyone knew about the monster, Pectunia has a very good suggestion that the money was used to help to build a magnificent natural park at the lake and the children can ride on the mechanical monster. It is a very good ending and I hope you can also read this book.

The book I want to introduce is “My Vampire Classmate.” The author of this book is Yu Yuanzhen. The publishing house is a creation hall. This book is interesting. I am sure you can’t stop after you read a few pages.
This book is about a girl accidentally went to an unknown world. She found out that her father was a teacher inside. She woke up and found herself seeing her dad and a vampire in a health room bed. After her father’s instructions, she knew that her magic was sealed. She turned into this magic school as a transfer student. She has met many different people and has experienced many things she has never tried.
This book tells us the importance of friendship.I think the most exciting part of this book is the part of the Hydra who chased the heroine and the girl who hated the heroine, because after they passed, they became good friends, and when they were in danger, they would help each other. It’s made me very moved.
I like this book very much because this book tells us a lot of different reasons. The content of this book is very exciting. There are often some plots that I can’t think of, which makes me feel a lot. The illustrations in this book are very beautiful, which makes me more able to put my mood into the characters of the story and to understand the story more.

Dear Mrs Pradhan,
“We’re not made of sugar, we won’t melt”-Crow.A book I recommend is Beyond The Bright Sea, when you start flipping those pages, words dance around you and you could not put it down.
Beyond the Bright Sea was written by Lauren Wolk, which was well-known by her other work-Wolf Hollow.This book was published on 2nd of May,2017.Beyond the Bright Sea is a fiction story about a girl,named Crow, which was abandoned when she was born and left floating in a basket. An older boy named Osh found her and adopted her as he was also alone on a island.Crow’s mother and Father died and his brother however was not.He just left the orphanage few years ago as his age was enough.The trilling tale of Crow and search of his brother, and finding the truths of her background.
The most exciting part was Crow,Osh and the only people who does not stay away from “Lepers”, Ms Maggie went to the hospital Graveyard, which Susanna,Crow’s mother had been buried and found a tomb next to her,written Morgan. Under the tomb was no body as Morgan was Crow’s real name that Susanna gave her,but Crow liked her own name as she was dark,her sharp nose like a beak and a birth mark on her arm which just looks like a feather.The truth was Susanna was afraid that others would think Crow was a leper(Which people still do) so she faked her death and sent Crow to the ocean.
This book is full of adventure,mysteries and humor.I really recommend you to read this book!This book taught me the importance of family, friendship and love.Crow was just a kid that wanted to find her brother, but what she found was the truth of her life.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms Kum,
The book that I chose to write this blog is a book named Charlotte’s web.This book is written by E.B. White. I read this book on the 16th of September, 2019.
The reason why I chose this book, is because I think this book was quite interesting .
I think this book was fun because in the book, most of the part is talking about the cute animals and their action, quotes and feeling . The most funny and interesting about this book is the animals inside could talk.
The things that I have learned in this book is don’t judge things from how they look. Judge things from their heart, I learn this in the opening part of the book. It talks about Fern’s dad wanted to kill that pig because it is weak and small and because it is a runt.
I recommend it to my classmates, because I think this book is quite funny and there were a lot of things that we can learn inside this book.
My favourite part of this book is the part that Wilbur dodged away from Lurvy, the reason why I will choose this part is because in this scene it was very interesting. Because when Wilbur get out from the farm, the whole family came to catch him back, and he had dodged away from their catch.
I hope E.B. White will write more books about the life of animals and their journey with humans. If he does, I am willing to read it!

Dear Ms Kum,
“There’s no need to do that.She’s got a mind of her own,and I like it that way.”
The book I would like to recommend is “Ever After High A School Story:Kiss and Spell”,by Suzanne Selfors ,publish on April 2015. It is because the story is full of happiness and creativity.
The story is about the Candy Witch’s daughter,Ginger Breadhouse trying to make her MirrorCast Show into a success.She got her idea,she asked Professor Rumpelstiltskin for a secret recipe of making a wish spell cake,and let her crush,Hopper Croakington II,son of the Frog Prince to try it in order to have more viewers.Unfortunately,the spell backfires and Hopper became a frog forever.She need the princess to kiss him,so he can become a normal as usual.
My favorite part is when Ginger,Apple,Briar,Blondie,Ashlynn,and Raven went to the swamp to find Hopper the frog.In the original story,the one who kisses the frog should be a princess in order to turn him back into a human.When Ginger kissed him,he magically turn back into a human,and it teach me that anyone can save something they love.
I like this book and I would like to recommend it to you.
Your student,

Dear Ms. Yiu,
“Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.”- Oprah Winfrey
The book I would like to recommended is “Fing” by David Walliams. I would like to recommend this book is because this book is very interesting and funny, Mr. Walliams wrote this book in a very unique way. After I read this book, I can really know what message Mr. Walliams wants the readers to know. This book is mostly about a child named Myrtle Meek, who had everything she could possibly want, but she still wanted more. Just one more “fing”. On her birthday, she told her parents (Mr. and Miss. Meek) to get her a “fing”. Mr. Meek decided to go to the deepest, darkest, jungliest jungle and get her spoiled daughter a “fing”.
My favorite part of the story is that at the end, Myrtle got trapped in the deepest, darkest, jungliest jungle, and got what she deserved. Myrtle was so desperate to get a “fing”, and now, she can live with “fing” in the deepest, darkest, jungliest jungle for the rest of her life.
I loved the book because I understand to keep what you have, be happy for what you got, or everything will be gone. It made me feel touching because Mr. and Miss. Meek can have a happy life without their spoiled daughter winging for everything.
I hope that you will read this lovely book and share it with others.
Student,
Jamie Cheung
