A Wrinkle in Time

A Winkle in Time

                                                                                     By Madeleine L’engle

A Winkle in Time by Madeleine L’engle  is a book worth reading if you’re into sci fi adventure, interesting characters, and mystic lands.

A Winkle in Time  is about a girl named Meg and two boys named Calvin and Charles Wallace. Meg and Charles dad disappeared and has been gone for years. Meg, her mother, and the twins are starting to think that their dad left them,  but he is actually  a prisoner to IT in Camazotz. First  Meg, Calvin, and Charles with guidance  from human form  Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which go on a journey to save  their dad  from IT. When they get to Camazotz there are several difficulties but they finally get their dad. IT is devastated and with Charles under a trance gets, everyone to see him but IT is not what they expected. He tries to get them all under his trance. They narrowly escape but with Charles Wallace under the trance getting stronger and stronger. When they winkle (it’s like transporting) they have to go through “The Black Thing” and Meg almost dies. They appear in a mystic land in which they don't know they will meet some “beast” that will help them. They try and go over ways to save Charles and decide on the person closest to him, Meg. Meg goes with courage and love and saves her little brother. They get to go home with their dad, Calvin, Charles, and Meg.

I liked this book because it was pretty mysterious and it made me kind of nervous at some parts. There were parts when I was at the tip of my seat waiting as though someone or something was going to just pop out of my book. It was like I couldn’t put it down because I felt like if I did the words would just fall out of my book.  In some parts I was like wait , where are we as I couldn’t understand how they just are in a place about to lose their grip with “IT” and then they’re in a strange land.

Both boys and girls ages 8-10 would like this boo  for a good book or a quick read.

I would give this book a 4 stars rating.

The Magician's Nephew

The Magician’s Nephew     by C.S Lewis

Summary

The Magician’s Nephew is a great book for people who like action and detail. Action and Detail are one of the many things that C.S. Lewis (the author of this book) is good at doing in his books.

First, two friends named Digory and Polly adventure to Digory’s atic. They do this because when they met, they wanted to have a little playdate kind of thing together somewhere in Digory’s house.

Next, they find Digory’s Uncle Andrew (the Magician) atic. Polly is allowed to put a ring that she wished to keep on, but she teleports out of the world. Before this happened, she asked Digory’s Uncle Andrew for one, and he said yes.

After that, Digory puts his ring on to go and save her. He teleports to an odd place and finds her.

Finally, they use their magical rings to continue their magical adventure.

                               Review

I am a fan of this book because there are many adventures and magic.

First, one of my favorite parts is when they had to get back home so they put their rings on, jumped into a small pool in a different world and teleported!

Also, I really like when they ride the flying horse named Fledge. I like this part because I have never seen a flying horse in my life.

You should really read this book! It is a great book for ages 9-11. It will give you a great understanding literature and about being an author!!

The Secret City

The Secret City by Chris Archer

When I think of a good book I like, I think of The Secret City by Chris Archer, book 1 in the PAYATES series.

In The Secret City the main character is George. First, George finds a map up in his attic that leads to a secret underground cave in the basement of his house. George does not tell his dad about it and keeps a secret with his friend. Shannon goes to get some gear from her friend to go down into the cave. But her suspicions got raised because it was the middle of winter. So Shannon was forced to tell her about the cave. This shows that George and his friends are going to explore the cave without telling his dad. What mysteries will George and his friends find in the cave.

I like this book because it has so much action and mysteries you can’t put the book down until you finish it. Just like how George and his friends find  people LIVING UNDER GROUND!!! I also like when the characters work together when they need help. They would never leave one person behind even if their life was in danger.

In conclusion, I think if you like action and mystery and if you are in 3rd, 4th or 5th grade you should read this exciting mystery book.
