Jeff Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules: A Review by Christian W.!

The book is about Greg who is bullied by his older brother Rodrick. Rodrick always does stuff wrong at his parents' house. He's rude, messy, and not smart. But Greg is smart and doesn't get in trouble. He has a friend named Rowely who sometimes messes up and embarrasses Greg. This book brought me happiness. I like this book because it has action and it is always funny. Someone should read this book because they should read new books. And I suggest you always read.

William Golding's Lord of the Flies: A Review by Cecilia!

The book Lord of the Flies is about a boy called Ralph who finds himself on an island with a chubby boy with asthma and glasses called Piggy, when a wave washes a fancy conch shell onto Ralph’s feet, Piggy encourages Ralph to blow the conch … so he does. Minutes later a bunch of boys come, but no adults. Without rules or authority they all started arguing and fighting, and then a boy gets murdered. After a while Ralph and Piggy gave up. I loved this book because it was not predictable. I recommend this book to people who like surprises.

J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: A Review by Ahmed!


The main character is Harry Potter and it takes place at both Hogwarts, a school for wizards, and his uncle’s and aunt’s house. When he was a little baby a person called Lord Voldemort killed his mom and dad and tried to kill Harry, but failed, leaving him with a scar and fame. Once he discovered his own magic powers, Harry gets accepted to Hogwarts where they teach you magic. At Hogwarts there is another guy named Malfoy and he is always jealous of Harry. Can Harry find the Sorcerer's Stone?

I liked this book because there’s horror and it has adventure which I love. Also I like to learn about magic. I recommend this book to people who love magic, horror and adventure.
