The wiches
Title: The Wiches
Authour: roald Dahl
Pages: 208
Summary
This time the main charactor was a wise and brave boy. He used to live with his own parents but tragic car accident was happened and he lost them and stared to live with his Norwegian Grand mother. She knows much about wiches and he learnt a lot abouti it. One day, he went to a vacation with his granma. At a hotel when he was playing with his pet mice, he found himself that he was in a meeting of witches. Witches hold a meeting once a year! He tried not to be seen and caught otherwise he will be smashed by tham. However, he was caught and tuned into a tiny, brown mouse. Before he was caught he heard a nasty and awful plan to get rid off all of kids in England. Although he was a tiny mouse, he decided to stop the plan and revenge to the witches...
Impressions
I always impressed by Dahl's ability of imagination and wonder how he got all these ideas about his stories. The witches appeared in the book were really awful and I was grad that I didn't meet any of them in my life. It might sound really wierd but I believe witches are still exist somewhere in the world. And if you want to know the features of witches to avoid to meet them, I strongly recomend to read this book! Be carefull and don't let them catch you~! lol

Matilda
Title: Matilda
Author: Roald Dahl
Pages: 232
Summary
Matilda is a little but very clever girl. when she was the age of three she started reading and gradually and quikely she got use to reading. She was truly genius but her parents were not interested in her and didn't pay much attention to her, so she commuted to a city library all by her self. And soon she started going to school and she met a really nice teacher, Ms. Honey and really awful headmistres, Mrs. Trunchbull. Although, Ms. Honey were being nice to Matilda, Mrs. Trunchbull was very horrible not only to Mtilda but to other students. One day, Mtilda found Ms. Honey's dark secret and that secret was all because of Mrs. Trunchbull. So Matilda decieded to punish Mrs. Trunchbull in her extraordinary and genius way...
Impressions
In the last term, I read a graded reader's version Matilda, and that book was based on the movie so the story was a bit different and short. I couldn't satisfy with the short one, so I decided to read the original one. The original story was truly better than the abbreviated one.
I heard Matilda was the best selling children's book in the UK before Harry Potter series was published and I do think it's true! Great and fun story it was :) And now I want to watch the movie version of Matilda!

George's Secret Key to the Universe
Title: George's Secret Key to the Universe
Authour: Lucy and stephen Hawking
Pages: 297
Summary
George is a boy whose parents are really enthusiastic about environment and hate any scientific things such as a computer because the earth has been damaged from those inventions. However, George happened to got interest in the universe which means science and physics when he got a scientist as a neighber. The neighber, Eric and his daughter Annie had a very special computer that can bring people into the outer space so that they could travel around the universe. One day, an evil man found out that Eric had the great computer and he tried to steal it. He succeeded to smmuggle and put Eric into a big danger. So how George and Annie saved Eric and get the super computer back...?
Impressions
Nowadays, I somehow got interested in the universe and wanted to know much about it. The book is written by a great scientist, Dr. Hawkins for kids so it's really easy to understand and get the knowledge about the universe. I learn the facts about planets in the solar system, stars and even black holes, and those are so interesting for me. Also, there are many beautiful pictures, so I enjoyed visually as well.
This book has a continuius story, so I'd like to try that one someday, too, and if someone want to know about the universe, I strongly recommend this book :)
