Matilda (Random House Modern Classics)

Matilda (Random House Modern Classics)

By Roald Dahl

Matilda is about a little, intelligent girl who loves to read. She goes to a school with a lovely, kind teacher called Miss Honey however her head teacher, Miss Trunchbull, is wicked, villainous and locks the children in the dreaded 'chokey'! She spends most of the day alone while her mother, father and brother are out. Her parents are horrible and they act like they don't love her. This leads to Matilda discovering that she has magical powers! The characters in the story are good because they all have different personalities. Lavender is Matilda's friend who places a newt in Miss Trunchbull's jug of water. One day, the children have to go to a very important assembly where Bruce Bogtrotter is made to eat a whole chocolate cake. This part of the story was hilarious. The only negative about this book is that it is not long enough! We would recommend this story to children above 6 years old (junior school age) because some of the language is quite difficult to read and some words are a bit offensive. It would also be appropriate for adults. Read the book to find out whether the children get their own back on Miss Trunchbull!

By Korman, Gordon

I really enjoy Gordon Korman’s novels, because they are filled with humor, adventure, plot twists, and much more. This one has different points of view per chapter, and is an amazing read for middle-school book-lovers. Well, you don’t have to be a book-lover to enjoy this phenomenal book. It is about this school that is miles away from any other town, much less a city. And nothing ever exciting really happens there. But one day, someone finds a swastika graffitied IN THEIR SCHOOL. Who would do such a thing? But it’s not that big of a deal, right? For there’s only one swastika. Someone will cover it up, and nothing will have happened. But then another swastika appears. And another. Soon, the whole school is swimming in swastikas. And to add on to Chokecherry’s problems, some not-so-nice things happened in their past: things that make these swastikas a bigger deal than before. Will the students of Chokecherry go back to the way things were, before all the swastikas, or will they always have people to remember the horrible things that went down?

Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid: Rowley Jefferson's Journal (Diary of a Wimpy Kid)

Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid: Rowley Jefferson's Journal (Diary of a Wimpy Kid)

By Jeff Kinney

This may not be the type of book I usually read, but I was definitely overjoyed to recieve it on behalf of DOGO books for being a Top Summer Reader. As soon as I got Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid in the mail, I was quick to tear open the package and start reading. Since I'd read the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series with my friends when I was younger, this was a sweet surprise, especially since it stars one of my favorite characters: Rowley Jefferson. This book is about his life, and how he puts up with his best friend Greg's endless and sometimes annoying pranks. He's a pretty good kid---he helps his parents a lot, listens to directions, and gets good grades on tests. But unfortunately, Greg is the polar opposite of that. He prefers to goof off during tests and play practical jokes---something that occasionally gets Rowley into trouble too. In this book, Rowley talks about the time he and Greg had their first sleepover, when Greg "accidentally" made him get in trouble with his math teacher, and the time they both snuck out of their houses at night to play on another kid's trampoline, only to get busted by Greg's father. These are just some of their antics, though---you'll find many more of their funny adventures in Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid! Overall, I liked this book, and rate it 4/5 stars. I recommend it for people who have read and loved Jeff Kinney's bestselling series Diary of a Wimpy Kid!

The Witches

The Witches

By Roald Dahl

This story is about a boy who lived with his grandmother in Norway. They wanted to get rid of all the horrible witches in England and MOSTLY of the wicked GRAND HIGH WITCH who is the one who rules all the cruel witches. But there was a problem.......... What will happen when they go to the Hotel Magnificent? Who are they going to meet? Will boy and his grandmother get what they want? I enjoyed this book because it gives you a lot of suspense. Roald Dahl shows that he is on the children´s side. My favourite part of the story is when boy puts the mouse maker in the soup.I love the way Roald Dahl invents words and makes his characters REALLY interesting. I recommend this book to children who are 8 or more years old. This book is just right for the ones who like adventures and suspense. Roald Dahl is a fantastic writer because he uses a lot of adjectives, he describes very well and includes suspense in the stories.

Fantastic Mr Fox (The Best of Roald Dahl)

By TONY ROSS (ILLUSTRATOR) ROALD DAHL

A fox lives with his wife and four children on top of a hill. They live close to three farmers. The fox takes one animal, from each farm per night. The three farmers want to kill him, but instead they get his tail. That’s when they want to dig his house out. Does the fox get caught or does he do what he wants? What will the farmers do?Will they meet other animals to do what the Fox wants to do? Why is Fantastic Mr. Fox called like that? If you want to know all this, read Fantastic Mr Fox. I liked this book because there is always a problem. The illustrations were very interesting... they are in 3D! You only have to imagine the colours. If you like books that have animals and guns, then this is the book for you! Roald Dahl exaggerates things to catch the reader's attention. On this book he exaggerates the three farmers characters because the fattest character, he makes him really fat; the second farmer is really tall and thin; and the third farmer is super small. He makes the reader never want to leave this book. I recommend this book to children that are between 7 and 12. I know they will love the book.

James and the Giant Peach (The Best of Roald Dahl)

James and the Giant Peach (The Best of Roald Dahl)

By EMMA CHICHESTER-CLARK (ILLUSTRATOR) ROAL

I really liked James and the Giant Peach. It is a really magical book. It really takes you into the story, it is like you are in the peach with James. This story is about a boy named James. James lives with his two mean aunts because his parents were eaten by a rhino. One day, on a tree in a James' yard a peach grows on the tree. But it is not any peach it is a magical peach. It grows so big it gets bigger than the tree it is on. The peach falls off of the tree and it rolls down the hill James lives on. There is a whole crazy adventure on the peach that I do not want to spoil! My favorite part of James and the Giant peach is when the peach is in the air flying and it falls on the Empire State Building. I really like Roald Dahl. (He is the author of James and the Giant peach). His books are so so funny. This book is probably one of the best books that I ever read! I will totally read another one of Roald Dahl's books. I will totally recommend this book to you! I hope you enjoy the book, and if you do there is a movie!

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

By ROALD DAHL

"You should never, never doubt something no one is sure of." When Willy Wonka, world's most acclaimed chocolatier, shut down his famous chocolate factory - he seemed to vanish off the face of the earth! That is, until one miraculous day, when Willy Wonka himself wrapped five Golden Tickets, "keys" to Willy Wonka's exclusive tour to his chocolate factory, within his signature scrumptious chocolate bars.. and Charlie, a starving boy with a diet consisting of only cabbage soup and no luck whatsoever, is eager to get his hands on one of them. Unfortunately, the honor of finding them is presented to four perfectly horrid children, and Charlie seems out of luck - until he spots a speck of gold behind his creamy chocolate bar. He's done it! But little does Charlie know that this is just the beginning of his grand adventures, for Willy Wonka himself teases a very special prize for only one of the five children - and all of the children desperately want to be the winner. Will it be one of the four horrid, spoiled, gum-obsessed children? Or will it be Charlie himself? To find out, join Willy Wonka and the five children on a wondrous adventure involving edible grass, magical gum, nut-killing squirrels, terrifying incinerators, blinding shrink rays, and most importantly, chocolate! This book is undoubtedly magical - Roald Dahl is a splendid writer, one that knows how to write characters well - you can end up physically cheering when villains meet their end. Even though the villains' ends were particularly delectable, overall, this book was quirky and cheerful, with fantastic descriptions of the factory and an appeal for all ages of chocolate fanatics. Who wouldn't end up rooting for the wonderfully insane Willy Wonka - this book left me craving more, and I immediately went off to hunt for the sequel, which was even more deliciously wonderful than the last. Roald Dahl has left us another classic that will both children and adults smile from beginning to end!
