 book falls on her head, the old shop keeper gives her the book for free, it is  called The Key to the Secret City. The books description is : hallo Teodora...  (I do  not  remember  the full description)

I will continue this review after I have read The Undrowned Child again.

Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets

Harry Potter has had a strange enough first year but his second one is stranger and there is bigger mystery to solve..

The Dursleys were so mean and hideous that summer.
 

Just as he's packing his bags, Harry receives a warning from a strange, impish creature (a house elf)named Dobby who says that if Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts, disaster will strike. And it does.

Who - or what - is turning the young wizards and witches to stone and what is this strange, blank book that absorbs ink,whose is it? Is it good? Or bad?

The person that wrote the blurb wrote : Rowling packs this tale with plenty of adventure and action, keeping the pace fast and furious. There's plenty of humor, too - both subtle and bold - as well as a few moral lessons. With overlapping themes that range from the simple to the sophisticated, Rowling's Potter tales should appeal to readers of all ages - the young as well as the young at heart.

The Higher Power of Lucky

Character names and what they are like:

Lucky(main character):Has good ideas, is normal,funny,and chooses good friends.
HMS Beagle (Lucky's dog):Clever and good.
Lincoln (Lucky's friend):Good at knots.

Plot:

I hope you like my review and the book!

Eragon by Christopher Paolini

The story takes place in an imaginary place called Alagaésia and other places like Hadarac Desert, Beor Mountains and Surda.

The main character is a poor orphan boy who lives with his uncle and has to go hunting for food. His name is Eragon and he is helpful, friendly and loving.

On a 3 to 8 day hunting trip Eragon finds a smooth, hollow, and oval stone.

But when the stone produces a baby dragon Eragon does not know what he is in for, starting with the silver mark that makes one a Dragon Rider.


                                 This is what is different from Riders and normal humans :


                                                         Dragon Riders


1.They can live for hundreds of years.
2.They have dragons(Eragons dragons name is Saphire)obviously.
3.They have magic.


                                                 Humans


1.They live shorter.
2.Some do not even believe in dragons.
3.Some do not even believe in magic.


                                                 Character names and what they are like:


1.Brom:Oldwise,clever and thought full.
2.Saphire(the dragon):Clever,funny and a good hunter.
3.Arya(a very famous elf):Very good at magic and sword fighting and is also wise.
4.Murtagh:good at sword fighting and very cautious.




I like this book I hope you will like it and the rest of the series.

Black Beauty by Anna Sewell

Sometimes the book is very sad but I am happy that the end is happy. A few people die in it and horses die in it but you don't really feel sorry for them. I am sad about how they treat horses and just the person who wrote the foreword said, from now on after you've read the book, and you see a house at the top of a hill, you might imagine how the horses had to carry heavy bricks to the top of the hill. And maybe they weren't driven very well.


The part I liked most in the book was when Black Beauty had to drive his master to the doctors because his mistress was ill and he saved her life. I also liked another part from one of the people died but I won't go into detail about that. The other part that I liked was when Black Beauty senses that the bridge is broken and doesn't go any further in the dark.


One of my favourite characters in the book is a horse called Merry Legs. He was so cheerful and happy. I also liked one of Black Beauty's masters called Jerry because he was very kind to horses.


I think Anna Sewell was very honest about how they treated horses. She told the truth about how badly horses were treated.
