The Witches

The Witches by Roald Dahl

The Witches by Roald Dahl is a very exciting book filled with adventure and mystery. A young boy is the narrator of the story and when his parents die he lives with his grandmother who tells him everything she knows about witches. When they go on vacation and find out that there is a whole group of witches meeting in their hotel they hatch a plan to get rid of all the witches in England and most importantly The Grand high Witch. When their mission is accomplished and all the witches are turned into mice they decide to make a bigger mark on the world of witches. They decide to attack the New high witch and all her court. I truly enjoyed "The Witches" by Roald Dahl.

Winners So Far...

The Winners So Far...

Well in my series of questions it looks like the class's favorite animal is the giraffe, followed by the tiger and then the zebra, chinchilla, dolphin, and the pig. the class's favorite color is blue. The class's favorite judge on American idol is Ellen in First (who voted for her? she is NOT THE BEST!!!!!!!!!) followed by Simon, then Randy, and Kara is in last with NO VOTES. The Classes favorite American Idol contestant is Lee with Chrystal in 2nd and Casey with NO VOTES (lets hope he's gone tonight!)Another thing, I'll be upgrading these polls every once in a while so if you think that the best animal is a Zebra instead of a giraffe THEN VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!!! I hope you all enjoy! :)

The Chronicals of Narnia (critique)

Have you ever wondered what a different world could be like, maybe after visiting it once say...a couple hundred years ago? Well so does Lucy,Edmund,Susan,and Peter Pevensie after returning to see ruins of their castle and the killings of their people. Only one thing is certain Narnia isn't the same any more.

This book series is great for kids and I recommend it to all my classmates.
This book is great for adventure lovers.It has a great story line and ending. The author makes the story all themore interesting by telling the story from different people's perspective. Some people might not like this story because it is a fantasy kind of story, but this book also has a sense of realness to it.
This book series takes kids to a different world full of talking animals,centaurs,unicorns, sea monsters, deadly serpents,and much much more. This book shows love for a country, perserverance, battle, and prejudices. From when Caspian when the battle in the end and saves Narnia to When he gains the Narnian's trust to when he blows the horn that brings Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy back the story is fabulous. I think anyone can fall in love with these stories like I have.
