Roald Dahl

This is a very funny and amazing book. This is a book about a fox family being hunted by 3 mean farmers. And they ran for their lives, until fox had an idea. I won't tell you what! Read it in the book.

Salmon (Korean book)



6/6

An Do Hyun

This is a Korean book about a salmon's life in its point of view. It makes you think about life, death, nature, and dreams. It's a very good book. It's almost as good as The Little Prince, and I LOVE The Little Prince.

Alex, Who Won His War

5/6
Chester Aaron
This book is very interesting. When I picked this book randomly, I thought it would be boring (because of the cover) but it was actually quite fun.
This book is about a young boy who has an older brother who went to the army to fight Nazis, and an older sister who had a boyfriend who lost his leg. Alex delivers papers. One day, while he was exploring the seashore with his best friend, they found a corpse of someone, and they came on the newspaper. After that, everything changed, but I can't tell you.
I thought it was a good book because other books about WW2 were a little bit boring or a little bit violent. But this book, it's not really violent, it's not really boring. I enjoyed it.

Whay do People Take Drugs?


by Patsy Westcott

3/6

This is a book about everything about drugs.
This book was useful for me because before reading this, I wondered a lot what would happen if a person takes a drug. Well, thanks to this book, I know now! Well, it wasn't that fun, though...

Latitude & Longitude

by Brian Williams
2/6
(This is not the book cover. I couldn't find one.This is the closest I can do.)
This book is about how a clock that can be used in sea were made, who made it, and why the first clock didn't work.
Well, first, I thought it was mainly going to be about latitudes and longitudes, but then it was mainly about clocks and watches. So I got a little disappointed.

Who Moved my Cheese?


infinity/6
by Spencer Johnson
Audiobook (No cover)
This is the greatest book I ever read (or heard..)
This is a story about 2 mice, Sniff and Scurry, and 2 tiny people, Hem and Haw. They are in this maze where there are several Cheese Stations, and they had this routine of looking for new cheese every day. One day, they found Cheese Station C. Hem and Haw started to change their habits. They no longer looked for new cheese. But, one day, Sniff and Scurry noticed the amount of cheese getting smaller and smaller. So, Sniff and Scurry changed to their old habits again. While Sniff sniffed for cheese, Scurry, with his fast legs, looked for cheese. Hem and Haw didn't notice the change and just kept eating and eating. One day, the cheese was gone in Cheese Station C. For several days, Hem and Haw didn't accept the change and just went to Cheese Station C in hope to find someone putting back their cheese.
Several days later, Haw laughed to himself and said, "What a fool I've been? Nobody is going to put back our cheese, I have to find it myself!" He realized that he has to change in order to live well. So, he decided to go find new cheese. He wanted Hem to go with him, but Hem said, "I'm not going anywhere until someone puts my cheese back. So, Haw looked for new cheese by himself. It was a hard work, but finally he found Cheese Station E. There were more cheese than he could imagine, and there was Sniff and Scurry, too, in Cheese Station E. They greeted each other. From this, Haw learned that change isn't always bad. Sometimes, often, it's good.
This book is very impressive. It tells you how to deal with change. And it also tells you that change are often good, even though they don't at that time. This is the best book I ever read. I hope I can use this story when dealing with change.
