Holes

The book of Holes is Very interesting. It is written by Louis Sachar and won a John Newbery Medal. I love it because it makes you feel like your the main person and it's the kind of book which you can't put down until your done reading it. Here's a short definition:

A boy called Stanley Yelnats (Which is spelled exactly the same way backwards.) ends up in trouble for something he didn't do. So he faces two options: He can either go to prison, or go to a camp called Camp Green Lake. He chooses camp. But that is a mistake. There is no lake or any green. And the boys there are mean and selfish. But he soon makes friends with them. he has to dig a 5 foot wide and deep hole every day. He realises that the people who work there are looking for something. But what? I hope you read the book. It's the most exiting book I ever read.

Educational books. (Very (un)boring)

I've made a list of educational books which I Love reading.
Here it is: Foreword: It isn't really horrible, it's just called that. Also there are more than just one horrible histories or science book. They both belong to the same series. So any horrible something book is just the same make. Remember that.
1.Horrible Histories. Written by Terry Deary and illustrated by Martin Brown. Tells you all the interesting facts about history.
2.Horrible science by Nick Arnold. Tells you interesting facts about science.
3. Horrible Geography. Tells you interesting things about Geography.
4.America's Horrible Histories. Tells you the history of America. (In a big range of books.)
5.The knowledge. Tells you just about anything. Can be written by various authors. My favourite book of that sort  is Spoilt Royals.

6.Dead Famous. Can also be written by various authors. My favourite book of that sort: Cleopatra. Tells you of people who are already dead, but the interesting version of their live.

7. Simon Chapman's Explorers wanted! Survival guides written by Simon Chapman. My favourites: On safari, In the wilderness.

Mr.Ape

I'll tell you about a book Dick-King-Smith wrote. It's called Mr.Ape. Mr.Ape's wive dies and Mr.Ape is free!Just like Dick-King-Smith he likes animals.So he decides to keep chickens in his house! Not long after that he finds a donkey in his back yard.He soon realises that it's owner is a boy called Jack .Jack even teaches him how to whistle.Not very long after they discover a bird up the chimney with a hurt wing and decide to take care of it.The boys father (Joe) offers to be Mr.Ape's gardener (since his garden is very messy).A week later Mr.Ape buys 4 rabbits , and 12 guinea pigs , he also finds out that Jack's donkey ,and dog is gonna have little ones.  He bought some Canaries and used golf clubs as perches.It was his birthday the next day and he went to buy stuff for a party when he came back he found that Jack's dog had her litter and as a present for his birthday he got to keep a puppy. He then opened his pantry to the canaries and the female rabbit who was going to have small rabbits ,and the guinea pigs.That same night the donkey fouled.They called the foul Hollyhock. On Saturday morning Mr.Ape goes to look at animals and ends up buying a talking parrot, and called him Uncle Bob. Mr.Ape decides to give a lot of his animals to school children.On Guy Fawkes day Mr.Ape went to buy fire works and those kind of things. that night they built a fire and happily shot up fire works and burned roman candles.They had so much fun they didn't realise that sparks had gone up to the roof.When they shot the final fire work they saw that the roof was on fire.Jack smashed some windows to free the hens. Mr.Ape did his best to save his animals, and Jack , and Joe saved his dog, and his parrot. Mr.Ape's house burned down that night.Mr.Ape slept in his car that night and bought himself a caravan the next morning.He decided to go with his friends Jack and Joe in his caravan to a new home.The day after Christmas they went.He called his caravan after his burned down house and I guess you could say they lived happily ever after.This is my version but it is much better to read the book.

Dick-King-Smith

Dick-King-Smith must have liked animals cause most of his books   have animals in them.Like, foxes,dogs ...etc There is even a book where a boy can talk to animals in Crowstarwer.I liked Sheep Pig,  and The stray.His books can have excitement at the beginning and then calm in the middle and then bam!Something happens that shocks everyone but all is calm in the end.And some are full of excitement from beginning till end.That's why I like his books.
