Tania's book review on Roald Dahl's Matilda

Hello everyone! welcome to another book review. Today I am reviewing a book called Mathilda by Roald Dahl. Does that name ring a bell? It should. Because Roald Dahl is called the world’s number 1 storyteller. He wrote a lot of books like the BFG, Billy and the Minpins, Charlie and the chocolate factory, and others that include Mathilda. You were probably expecting another three investigators review or a writing challenge which I am sure you have lost interest with. That’s why I wanted to do something new today. Now, without further ado, let’s get on with the book review.

Mathilda has been one of my most favourite books since I was very young. Dad and I would sit (or lie down) together and take turns reading a page. Even though I am growing up, I still read it sometimes and dad and I still read together. This book is about a little girl called Mathilda whose parents are very mean to her and watches the television every night. Her dad gets money by having unfair deals in a second hand car shop, her mother goes to play bingo every afternoon, and her older brother goes to school. Leaving Matilda by herself. Which she liked because then she was able to do anything she wanted. One afternoon, because she liked reading, she decided to go to the nearby library and stop there to read. In a few days, Matilda had finished all the children’s books at the library. After explaining to the librarian that she not only looked at the pictures of the books but read the books too, the librarian offered to help her find a new book to read. Within a week Matilda had finished a lot of grown up books that children her age would have difficulty reading (mind you she was still 4 at that time). Going to the library became a habit that continued until she was five and a half. This is when she started to go to school. She was very excited about this, because she loved to learn. Sadly, the headmistress was not a kindly woman. She was in three words, a human monster. But her teacher, Miss Honey was absolutely perfect. kind, loving, gentle, beautiful, caring, those were the words that described miss honey. Unsurprisingly, Matilda was smarter than everyone in her class. But the surprising was, that the effect of being told off by absolutely no reason she could see, made her brain bubble and boil with hatred and anger. Also, being stuck in a class that taught her nothing, made her brain not be able to struggle. So, as a result Matilda had the power of telekinesis which means she can move things with her mind. (I am sorry but I can’t tell you what happens next cause it’s where the plot twists come in.) but in the end everything is fine.

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Remarkable! This is a wonderful book and yet it is very simple and easy to read! I recommend this to readers who want justice to triumph over evil but in a book that is easy to read. Trust me, they don’t want to miss out on this!

After that enjoyable meeting with the brilliant Matilda now comes a less enjoyable part: saying a goodbye☹. But don’t worry! We will cross paths again soon. But for now, goodbye!

 

Tania’s book review on The Three investigators: The Mystery of The Invisible Dog

Hello everyone! welcome to another book review. Today I am reviewing the mystery of the Invisible Dog which out of 43 books is the 23^rd book of the series. Wait a minute! If we can’t see the dog, how can we investigate this mystery?

I am sure by now you are familiar with Jupiter Jones, Pete Crenshaw, and Bob Andrews. Who are the three investigators, the junior detectives who live on Rocky beach near Hollywood. In this book, the three investigators are hired by a man who claims that he is being haunted by a ghost! When they go to investigate, they see a shadow in the room that when approached, it will disappear. Meanwhile, a work of art has been stolen! Later, a few days after the robbery, accidents begin to happen at the apartment building that their client is staying at! A kindly lady is poisoned (but luckily survived), the manager nearly missed a fatal accident, and a man fainted because his part of the apartment building was on fire! The three investigators are trying to narrow down a suspect but not even Jupiter can come up with anything. Jupiter decides to keep watch. When they keep watch, they see a mysterious figure emerge from the pool of the apartment building. Jupiter then decides to visit the hospitals the victims of the accidents are. After visiting, Jupiter has a gleam in his eye that tells us he is on to something. (I can’t tell you what happens next cause it’s where the plot twists come in.) but in the end the work of art that is stolen is recovered and the villain is revealed.

Can I marry this book? I loved it so much! The only problem with it is you can’t put it down. Boom! My mind is blown, I did not expect that ending! Wow! This book shows you extreme mystery in which each investigator has to display their talent, I’ll give it 5 stars any day! It was so good! In fact, I think it’s my favourite!

Thank you so much for listening (or rather, reading) my review on the mystery of the invisible dog now that the review is finished, it’s time to say good bye. So lets do it then. Goodbye!
