Book review: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

The lion the witch and the wardrobe by C.S. Lewis is a magical fantasy. It is the first book of the chronicles of Narnia. In this book the children discover Narnia and their adventure begins.  

Four children, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy have been sent away from London due to the Second World War. Lucy finds a room with a wardrobe. This is the place where the adventure starts. The wardrobe leads to the world of Narnia, a magical land full of talking animals, witches and a lion called Aslan.  

They are each given magical gifts and prepare for the big battle with the cruel witch’s army.    

This story is full of excitement, surprises and thrills as it talks about the children discovering the magical world of Narnia. My favourite bit was when they fought the cruel witch’s army of evil creatures and spirits.

I thoroughly recommend this book as it takes people into the world of Narnia. It is not an easy book to read because it has difficult words but you will have a difficult time putting this magical story down.

Film Review: Zootopia

Voice acting good enough for an Oscar and custom popcorn. Zootopia has it all, or does it? Stav gives the low down on Disney's latest anthropomorphic animal animation.

Book Review: Cub in the Cupboard

Cub in the cupboard, part of the animal ark series, by Lucy Adams is a moving story that takes place in Welford, Leicestershire where Mandy and James find an injured fox cub in the woods.

This story concerns a fox cub which is injured from a trap in the woods. Its mother and siblings are dead, Mandy and James decided  to take care of it and take it to dad, who is a vet. They are trying to get rid of the traps left by the hunters. Ιt is quite a moving story but it is well-written. In other points it is thrilling. This book is both gripping and tragic, as the cub is fighting for its life.

I thoroughly recommend people who love animals to read Animal Ark books as they make them feel that they are in a world of animals. Readers will have a difficult time putting this enchanting story down.

The Tinderbox review

Nick reviews the classic fairy tale 

The Tinderbox review

The tinderbox by Hans Christian Andersen is an excellent story  about a solider who comes back from war and finds a magical tinderbox which summons three dogs that bring whatever he asks.     

The tinder box tells the story of a soldier who comes back from war. On the way home he meets a witch who asks him to go down a hole in a tree to bring a magical tinder box. The soldier goes down the hole to go to bring the tinder box he gathers as many farthings as he wants. He tricks the witch and takes the tinderbox as well. He goes into town to enjoy the power he has. Then he decides that he wants the beautiful  princess. Will the solider get everything he wants, will he deserve them?

The book is full of exciting moments and the author creates tension with a hero who is a bad person but gets everything he wants.

I thoroughly recommend the Tinderbox, readers will have a difficult time putting this classic fairytale down as they will be kept in suspense until they reach the very end of the book.
