Enid Blyton has a very simple set of author tools : darkness, danger, torch, a person stuck, lostness, aloneness, scaryness! Sometimes I think "what is going to happen?" or "when is help going to come?" or "is there no help at all?!"
I Know What You Did Last Wednesday is a murder story. Anthony Horowitz is a very good writer because he keeps me waiting to know who is the murdur and who was included.
Grace, Amy, Charlotte, Nicole and Binah... and I felt like being part of the circle called "The English Roses". I love the name, because it sounds so old fashioned; but instead the five are the opposite. Binah is my favorite character because she is kind, but as well as being kind she is also helpful. To me, she is the group leader of the English Roses. In general the book told me that friendship is more important than everything else. It's a "no go" book for boys even though it's partly about boys... but from the girls point of view.
This book makes me feel older than I am because in the book most people are teenagers and there is only one girl younger than me. As soon as I started this book I knew that it would get very interesting and adventurous and basically I was right.In the book the main caracters are two teenagers one is called Abby, who starts the friendship in between her and her Pen Pals called Sadeed and Amira. Half half because Amira tells Sadeed what to write. Both live in Afghanistan where you speek Dari. Sadeed is a very good student and so he is able to speek Dari and English. Meanwhile Abby is about to fail sixth grade and being afraid to loose her friends in class she chose the Pen Pal as a extra credit project. This project gives her the chance to catch up in every subject discluding PE because she is already a very sporty girl,...but if you want to find out the rest of the story you will have to ask to borrow it from me (first I have to finish the book)! There are lots of letters to read in this book which gives me the feeling to be a bit nosey.
I like the way Jacqueline Wilson has rewritten the story. Not only that has impressed me, also that the story is familar in one way and very different in another. Jacqueline Wilson has made the story a fun book to read even though it is very short! It is not only the way that Jacqueline Wilson has written the story it is also the story by itself that I enjoyed reading this book. Jacqueline Wilson has a lot of fantasy which I like about her. She has a story in her head and the next day she has written a new story for the whole world to read. I always think that she writes a book especially for ME!!!!! The story of Rapunzel is a very old story but now I have a completely different story in my head out of modern times. I would love Jacqueline Wilson to rewrite all the traditional stories which I know and fairytales from lots of different countrys. For example Hansel and Gretel who could find their way back through a big city by following a graffiti-spray track.
In the book there are two girls callad Alice and Gemma, They are best friends and they have never broken friends, but Alice is keeping a seecret . Gemma is getting very suspicious.
