Emma's Book Review

I think that you should read The BFG because it is funny. Their is a big giant and he is nice to this girl named Sophie.Sophie is a brave girl she is also nice to THE BFG. THe author is Roald Dahl he is funny because the words THE BFG says Frobscottle and whizzpoppers it is so funny.And Sophie and THE BFG become friends.The people hooo should read this book should be people who like giants and queens i know i do. I also like it because they're in a adventure. And i also like it because THE BFG does not know how to talk but Sophie helps THE BFG. Then THE BFG know how to talk thank you. – Emma

My Brother's Ghost

My Brother's Ghost

by Allan Ahlberg (2001)

A short little book about a woman remembering her childhood and how the ghost of her older brother helped their family through rough times. Set in the 1930s (40s?) it's a bit old fashioned -- polio, cigarette cards, pork pie hats -- and British, but the story stays interesting and has a dramatic finish.

Boom!

Boom!

by Mark Haddon (2009)

Space aliens and teenage rebellion, with humor and British expressions.  It's been a few months since I read this so this will be a lame review, but I do remember being entertained by the story, liking the brother & sister characters, and recommending the book to my sons.
