Book Review by Nathan 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Arthur is a young teeen who was fostered and crowned king of Britain. Arthur was in many battles. He sent the knights of the round table for many adventures. I like this book. You should read it if you like joust battles and surprises.

Editorial Review:

In the center of the courtyard of a medieval church stands a single block of marble. On top of the marble lies a heavy black anvil. Struck deep through them both is a glittering sword.Whoever can remove the sword from the stone is the rightful king of Britain. Brave knights, important lords, and strong men from across the kingdom all try and fail. Then one steps forward whose touch frees the sword like magic. But could the next king of Britain really be...a young boy?

Robin Hood 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Robin Hood is one of the books I enjoyed reading. It has action, and adventure and a few historical facts. Robin Hood takes place a long time ago, probably in the middle ages. Robin Hood is the main character. He is handsome, brave and he has a bood heart and he steals from the rich and gives to the poor. Robin Hood has a little romance. For example when Robin says "I will win the archer competition and take the gold arrow and give it to the princess to be mine!" I would recommend this book to people who like action and adventure.

Read another tale of Robin Hood 5 out of 5 stars.

I read the book Robin Hood Of Sherwood Forest. The book was written by Ann McGovern. I really loved this book. It is the second time I have read a Robin Hood book.
What happened in this story was Robin Hood, and his merry men did what they normally did, take from the rich give to the poor. The sheriff of Nottingham tried to catch Robin Hood at an archery contest but he captured Will. So simultaneously 40 of Robin's men took out bows and started to fire at the captors. At the Kings archery contest, robin and Little John won first and second place. One day a monk came into the forest. He did not state his name. However, latter he said he was King Richard!!!
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes Robin Hood. Because it is all of the legend but it has its own little twist and turns.

Editorial Review:

In a time when laws were unfair and the poor were left to starve, Robin Hood was a friend to those in need. Ann McGovern¹s retelling of this classic tale transports young readers to an era of adventure and heroism.

Great Book 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Alice in Wonderland is a great book that i very much enjoyed. The story was very interesting and enjoyable. I liked how the author made things symbolize something else. Like the way the rules of the game they were playing were also the rules of the land. Even though this book is intended for young kids, this book is excellent for all ages.

Editorial Review:

One normal summer day, Alice is sitting on the riverbank when a big, white, talking rabbit runs past. He pops into a big rabbit hole, and Alice follows him down, down, down into a magical and strange land. Alice has many exciting adventures in this extraordinary place called Wonderland. Here, anything can happen: all the animals talk, a deck of cards comes to life, and everything gets curiouser and curiouser. This is the timeless tale of Alice¹s adventures in Wonderland.

My review 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I am Bobby Rodriguez, a 6th grader. I am a student at Stanley British Primary School. For my book report I chose to read Robinson Crusoe. It is a captivating book about a boat that gets caught in a bad storm and everyone dies except Robinson and he swims to land. I really enjoyed reading this novel.

The Book Robinson Crusoe is an adventure book. It is about a little ship that only had about 30 people on it. The crew got stuck in a big storm. It was a hurricane. They stayed under the cabin for 12 day's and 12 nights. Those 12-days and 12 nights it rained the whole time they were under in the ships cabin. They finally got out and saw land. They thought the ship in minutes was going to timber and it was still raining. Two men fell over board. So the crew hopped on the little boats and tried to get to land. Everyone died expect Robinson. He made to land. He was going to face a lot of problems, for example he had no food, he no weapons to hunt, he had no dry clothes and he had no place to sleep. So Robinson was pretty much shipwrecked on a deserted island. Robinson was going to learn to stay alive on a dangerous land. He must hunt, build shelter, and make this island his home. And his question is will he ever get home? That next day Robinson had to try to get back to the ship so he could get supplies to stay an alive. When he went back he found two cats that were still alive on the boat, he got food, guns and ammo. To get all of his supplies to the island he made a raft, using branches and rope. After time he made a house in a cave and knew where to get food and where to hunt. He was actually enjoying him self on the island. Robinson thought he was the only living soul on the island until one day when he saw some Native Americans. He didn't talk to them because he was an afraid they would kill him. In fact, he hid from them. After 15 years, finally they found him, but Robinson didn't want to leave he was really enjoying him self there. That is my summary of Robinson Crusoe.


I thought Daniel Defoe was a pretty good author, but not the best. The reason I say this is because I didn't think his descriptions were that detailed I had a hard time picturing the island and setting in my head. I thought in the book there was really no hard word for me. Next time I should choose a more challenging book. I thought the writer's style of sentence's were really good, in my opinion because he mixed it up with short, choppy and long sentences. I really enjoy a book were an author does this, it makes it more in enjoyable for the reader. I like how the author never stays on one topic for too long and jumps around on the topics. I was disappointed that he didn't leave the island. I thought as I read it that he wanted to leave. I felt confused. So I really enjoyed this, but I didn't really like the ending. Overall, this is one of my favorite books and it is a classic.

Editorial Review:

Robinson Crusoe is the timeless tale of a man shipwrecked on a desert island, with only a few possessions left for survival. He is all alone. Then one day he sees a footprint in the sand...

Editorial Review:

"[Mole] thought his happiness was complete when, as he meandered aimlessly along, suddenly he stood by the edge of a full-fed river. Never in his life had he seen a river before--this sleek, sinuous, full-bodied animal, chasing and chuckling, gripping things with a gurgle and leaving them with a laugh, to fling itself on fresh playmates that shook themselves free, and were caught and held again." Such is the cautious, agreeable Mole's first introduction to the river and the Life Adventurous. Emerging from his home at Mole End one spring, his whole world changes when he hooks up with the good-natured, boat-loving Water Rat, the boastful Toad of Toad Hall, the society- hating Badger who lives in the frightening Wild Wood, and countless other mostly well-meaning creatures. Michael Hague's exquisitely detailed, breathtaking color illustrations on almost every generous spread--along with Kenneth Grahame's elegant, delightfully old-fashioned characterizations of the animals--make this book a wonderful read-aloud. Grahame's The Wind in the Willows has enchanted readers for four generations, and this lavishly illustrated gift edition is perhaps the finest around. (All ages, or 9 to 12)
