The BFG

 

 

BOOK REVIEW

 

 

REVIEWED BY SOPHIE THOMPSON

 

The main characters are Sophie and the BFG. Sophie is very sensible, clever but is also a brave character, while the BFG is a bit stupid because he didn’t go to school. In a way, the BFG is funny because he talks in a weird way and gets all mixed up with his words.

One night, Sophie can’t sleep. In a dormitory with about 10 other girls, all fast asleep, she gets taken from her bed by what she thinks is a tall giant-man. She thinks that she will get eaten by him but actually the only reason that the giant took Sophie was because she saw him. Luckily the giant is a good giant called the BFG. When Sophie hears about the BFG’s neighbours who eat little children, she thinks up a good plan. Will they be able defeat the evil giants..?

I would recommend this book to 5+ as it is not scary at all and also has a scene of humour.

The Great Ghost Rescue

BOOK REVIEW

 

REVIEWED BY SOPHIE THOMPSON

 

The main characters are Humphrey the horrible, the Hag, Gliding Kilt and Rick. Rick is the hero of the story- he is brave and courageous. Humphrey is a failure because he is not a scary ghost. He is a peachy pinky colour. The hag gives off a revolting smell while the gliding kilt has a sword through his chest.

A family of ghosts live in a castle in the north of England called Craggyford Castle. Then suddenly, the hag started getting a headache and the gliding kilt got a massive cut, so they had to move…

I liked this book because shows a lot of courage and respect when Humphrey travels a long way to get help when he and other ghosts are dying.

This book made me think that if ghosts where real then they would be funny and cheeky not ghoulish and spooky.

I would recommend this book to children under 11 because it is not babyish and seems realistic.
