Around the World in 80 Days

A book that made a big impression on me was called ‘’Around the world in 80 days’’ by Jules Verne.  This fascinating adventure story takes place in the whole world.

The adventure begins in London when a bet is made between two men, the protagonist whose name is Phileas Fogg and a newspaper man. In 1872 there were no airplanes and he started travelling around the whole world on trains and ships, and he had to do that in just 80 days.

The thing that impressed me most was that Phileas Fogg finished his journey earlier than 80 days. It also impressed me how he experienced his difficult adventures.

 I liked this book very much. You should read it because it is going to teach you many new things.

Book Review: Night of the Living Dummy II

The Night of the Living Dummy 2 is another spooky ‘Goosebumps’ book by R.L.Stine.                         

The book tells the story of a girl called Amy who had a dummy called Dennis. The dummy was old and rusty so she bought a new dummy. That night the dummy did some horrible things so she tried to get rid of him but she COULDN’T…

This book is full of scary moments. My favourite part was when the dummy started talking and when Amy’s sister said to Amy that she knew that the dummy did all those horrible things.

I thoroughly recommend The Night of the Living Dummy two. The readers will have a difficult time putting this scary book down.

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.
