The whipping boy, by Sid Fleischman

 This is a story about a prince named Prince Brat and a poor boy named Jemmy. Jemmy is a whipping boy, meaning he gets whipped every times Prince Brat does nasty things because princes can’t be whipped.

 I really liked the story and I advise you to read it because the adventure was great.

This story is about Prince Brat & Jemmy, the whipping boy. Prince Brat is naugty and since princes cannot be punished instead Jemmy is punished.

I like this book because it is quite funny. I advice people to read this book!                             

 Kinnori

The story is talking about two boys who live in a castle, Jemmy and Prince Brat (or Prince Blockhead if you prefer.) Jemmy is Prince Brat’s personal Whipping Boy!  He is the boy who must be whipped in place of the Prince when he is naughty .

If you want to know how the middle age was I suggest you to read it.

This story is about Jemmy a whipping boy. He gets all the punishment when Prince Brat misbehaves because the prince cannot be whipped.

I don’t really like this story because it was not a funny one.

Matilda

The author is Roald Dahl. There are 232 pages in the story. The main characters are Matilda, Miss Honey, Miss Trunchbull, Mr & Mrs Wormwood. The story  happens in a small town, in a house, a school and a library. The main charter is Matilda .She’s a small girl that is very intelligent and very clever.

She has black hair and magic powers. I like Matilda thanks to her personality.

At the beginning of the book the narrator talks about parents loving their children even if they are really bad in school. The first chapter also starts by introducing the main characters.

I like the book because it is funny when Matilda plays pranks on her parents a lot. Matilda also has powers that at the beginning she didn’t know.

This is a poster of the movie Matilda.

Fantastic Mr Fox

 

There are three farmers (Bean , Boggis and Bunce) so the three farmers are not good and they want to shoot the fox  because he wants to take their food. But the fox is very clever. His family and he are going to have a fantastic adventure. This book is very good!

Fantastic Mr. Fox

Roald Dahl wrote many stories that I like. For example,  Matilda,  The Big Friendly Giant…

But my favorite is Fantastic Mr. Fox because it is funny.

The characters are Mr. Fox, Mrs. Fox, the small foxes, Badger, and the three farmers Boggis, Bunce and Bean. Boggis is the thinnest because he never eats anything, he just drinks cider.

Kinnori

 

 

The story is about a fox who is surviving by stealing food from thee farmers,

Boggis, Bunce and Bean. He is having a good life until when they decide to catch him.

But Mr. Fox is much more clever than the farmers. I suggest you to read it.

                                      Fantastic Mr. Fox

It’s about  three farmers. Their names are the fatest Boggis,the shortest Bunce and the longest Bean.Boggis had thousands of chickens in his farm, Bunce had thousands of ducks and geese in his farm and Bean had thousands of turkeys and apple trees.

Mr Fox was the cleverest animal in the world. So every day, he stole food.

But one day, the three farmers decided to kill the fox…
