ANIMAL FARM

ANIMAL FARM by George Orwell 144 pp. Penguin Group. £8.99. (Ages 13 and up) ISBN 9780141182704 Rating: ? Stars     This book is set in a future when animals are much cleverer than now.

Rating: 5 Stars

This is one of my second favourite books.
It is about an 8 year old princess who once got lost in a hidden staircase and found her great great great great great great great great great great grandmother and found out that old people did not always have to be that ugly. Another time the goblins nearly get her and she makes friends with a miner boy called curdie. Then while curdie is spying on the goblins he gets caught and the princess with the help of her great great great great great great great great great great grandmother helps curdie escape. Lastly the princess ends up luckily escaping marrying a goblin king by being hidden by curdies mother while still sleeping before the goblins could get her.

My favourite part is when she gets lost on the staircase and finds her ten times great gradmothe I think ages 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 should read this book. I give this book 5 out of 5.

CITY OF FALLEN ANGLES

CITY OF FALLEN ANGLES The Mortal Instruments Book 4 by Cassandra Clare 480 pp. Margaret K. McElderry Books. $13.99. (Ages 13 and up) ISBN 9781481455992 Rating: 4 Stars   This book is a start of an new adventure. The enemy has lost and a new one rises. I think it is a good idea the author made a new enemy. Now the book wont end!   I don't like how the author divides the book into many parts. It makes me think its a very large book and sometimes I get bored. It makes the book seems like a very very big book. And most pages are wasted for the page to say a new part and also the quote/poem the author has made.   In a new story there will be new characters. The villain in the book has lost now if the next villain will be bigger new characters will come. The are new characters now like Mia, Jorgan and other characters.   I don't like the part when a partner does not let the other one go in a fight because they don't want to lose them. Its like making a...
