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.
