    I really love this book. It's pretty short but the story is very joyful. The BFG is a good giant, he intrigued me with his own language from the first. Sophie is a girl kidnapped from her bed and her adventure just begins when she and the BFG have to stop the ruthless giants before they devour all of human beans. Dahl could create the book that hooked me from the beginning and the ending of this book was so delightful, I felt very happy after I finished it. I like his writing style, it captivates me to no end

    I stumbled upon this book while seeking something to replace the gap left by Harry Potter. While the writing isn't as good, and Mull is just getting started here, I found myself swept up in the magic, and eager for more. I went into it not knowing anything about it at all, which is the way I like to approach new fantasy, so every experience is unexpected. The book is classic good and evil, where two children unite to save the world. Some scenes may be difficult for the very young, but overall, I found it enchanting and something I want to recommend. I give it five stars for multigenerational inclusion and family togetherness.

    The book I Survived the Titanic is a good book that people should read. It is a good book for people that like short interesting stories. The main character is George, who is brave but is also a trouble maker. His sister Phoebe is smart. Marco and Enzo, two people that George meets from Italy on the Titanic are nice people that care about themselves and others. Aunt Daisy that Phoebe and George are on the Titanic with, is nice, but she doesn't like it how George is getting in trouble all the time. This book takes place on the Titanic where George, Phoebe, and Aunt Daisy are staying. I Survived the Titanic is about George, Phoebe, and Aunt Daisy on the Titanic. George gets in a lot of trouble. When he is doing something he's not supposed to, he sees a scarred- faced man in the first class baggage, so he runs back to his room. All of a sudden the engines stop and he hears a noise. When he gets back to his room Phoebe is not there, she must have followed George. They have to find her because all of the first class passengers need to go to the upper deck. George remembers that Phoebe was going to leave a trail of lemon drops so she doesn't get lost. They followed them all the way to the lower class, where there is a lot of sad, scared, and screaming people. That's when they met Marco and Enzo. Enzo helped George find Phoebe and they went thought the ladders to go to the upper deck because the other part was blocked by water.
