Book Reviews

Code Name: Bananas

Author: David Walliams
Illustrator:Tony Ross

This book is about a gorilla that lived during WW2.

Eric is a boy who lives with his grandmother because he lost his parents in World War Two. His favorite and only friend is a gorilla who lives in the London zoo. The gorilla’s name is Gertude. When the air raid siren rings out, Gertrude goes on a rampage and Eric tries to stop her. But he fails and Gertude is asked to be “put down”.Eric rescues her and on the way to safety, they escape a German submarine and save president Churchill.
I think this is a good book because it teaches kids to be loyal and brave.

My favorite part is when Eric, Gertrude, Eric’s grand uncle Sid, President Churchill, King George IV and his wife and children have a giant food fight!

This book is suitable for kids 8-13.
I will give this book 5 ⭐️ because it has a good sense of humor!



























Ickabog, by JK Rowling


This book is about a monster who seems bad, but turns out to be good. 

Once there was a boy who wanted to kill the Ickabog, a mythical monster who had seemed to have killed his father. He and his mother learned that Spittleworth, the king's best friend is evil. But before they could investigate further, his mother was caught and the boy, who's name was Bert, was all alone. He came to an orphanage and was delighted to see his best friend there. When the orphanage went out of buisness, the children all found the Ickabog is harmless and did not kill Bert's father. They go back to the village to tell the news about the Ickabog.

I think children 8 to 13 will learn to be brave, truthful and kind in tough situations. 

My favourite bit was when the Ickabog gave birth to it's Ickaboggles because it was a happy but sad bit because he died after that, which is usual. 

 I give this book a 1000 stars because it is very good and it is from my favourite author!

Introduction

Hello! I am Vedant, but you can call me Ved. I have a mother and a father(obviously). I am not an only child. I have a brother named Siddhant(who causes a lot of trouble). For some reason, he LOVES to chew things. I am great at spelling. I have been practicing lately for a spelling bee. Due to Covid, It is only a class spelling bee so it is not that special. Because it is individual I might have a chance at winning this, since I have had some bad partners in ALL my spelling bees. I also have a grand father and a grandmother. My grandfather is a blogger, just like me. My grandmother is a former teacher and I enjoy it when she teaches me. I love the stories my grandmother and my grandfather. I have another set of grandparents that are also very nice. I practise origami and then play with my creations. My brother(who you might remember from sentence 2) calls me baba and calls my father papa and he calls my mother(this bit is funny)oi! I thank you for reading my 1st blog and please read ...

A New House(or not)

I have not written in a long time but today I have decided to write as I am very excited. The reason=Our new house! We are buying a new house in Bangalore and it is the biggest house I have ever seen in real life. It has 2 living rooms, 4 or 5 bedrooms and, to put the cherry on the cake, it even has a large swimming pool and a small one, divided by a bridge. The community even has my favorite-a football pitch! We decided to see it in real life, so my dad went to check it out. It was really big! In fact, it was the biggest house in the community. So, we decided to buy it. Just then, we realized that not all the documents were there for the house to be sold! We found out that land did not really belong to the makers of the community.  And so, we had to abandon the idea of living in the house. However, during our search for the house, we had found out many other good communities, even though the house we liked was the best. So we chose another house and fingers crossed nothing go...

Spelling Bee

Today I had a spellingbee and I won! Details:- I had practiced for almost a week studying hard words. Since my mother practiced with me, it was kind of fun. Plus, I did not get to do my work! But the bad news is that I have a lot of work on the weekends and no one likes work on the weekends. Now, back to the spellbee. So when the time came, we started with the jungle book round. I was lucky, because I got the easiest word- blinking. Then we went to the movie round, which I think was hard for some of the particapants. I remeber one of my opponents being eliminated in that round. Next we went to jumble round. This was the trickiest. In 60 sconds we had to spell a jumbled word. Since there were two of us in the round: me and my opponent, it didn't take long. Neither of us got it correct so we moved to the music round. I was first. I spelled symphony correct. My opponent in the final round spelt rehearsal like this- reahersal. So I won and I felt great, because I never won a spellbee...
