Ariel

Title: Ariel

Author: Princess Bubblegum

Genre: Adventure

Summary:

A young girl named Ariel is doing her every day job to serve the king and price their food. She then walks into the king's room and sees him sitting as still as a rock. The king is going through a very bad time and to make it even worse he has and illness that is slowly killing him inside.

Likes:

I really like how the story is about a caring girl who helps the king out because of his illness.

Well the first part of the book.

Dislikes:

Because it was an online book i had never read it before or seen the site before  i didn't know it was going to be a short story. So what i disliked was that the story was to short because the start really hooked me in and i wanted to carry on reading it. Also i dont think it was a finished book either.

Would i recommend?

It's a 50/50 chance that i would recommend it because of the first two chapters i would recommend it because it's about the lovely and caring girl named Ariel but the last paragraph in the prince's perspective really turns the whole story around

This is the last of the series for captain underpants. Everything ends well but before i tell you this story i’ll have to tell you this story (the shorts at least).

Any way he turns really smart and tries to take over the world George and Harold have to stop him and so does captain underpants. George and Harold go to the future and get their old selves. and to cut a long story short they live happily ever after if you want to know more then well head down to the nearest library and get it out .

BOY

BOY

Roald Dahl

Boy is a autobiography by the award winning author Roald Dahl.It has all the tales of his childhood and  starting from the unfortunate event of how his Papa, Harold Dahl lost his arm and moving on to a hilarious time of how much he hated his first boarding school. 

WHAT I LIKED

Personally, I enjoyed the part where they pranked the evil old lady at the candy shop, by putting a rat in one of the jars

WHAT I DISLIKED

I didn't like the parts of the story where they got in trouble for the tiniest reasons. (like asking somebody for a pencil in which they got hit by a stick)

WOULD YOU RECOMMEND?

Yes! Especially if you love Roald Dahl books!

RATING?

8/10
