Awesome books!

Hello and welcome to my blog! I love books, so, on my blog, I'm going to tell you about books I've read (or am reading) and love! I will do a new post every month on the 17th, if I remember and have time. I hope my blog will help other bookworms like me to find great books to read!

The Diary of a Young Girl: By Anne Frank

I haven't quite finished reading this book yet but so far I am enjoying it very much!

Anne Frank was a Jewish girl born in Germany in 1929, but she and her family moved to Holland to escape from the Nazis. But in July in 1942 when Anne was 13, they went into hiding with 4 other people.

She wrote all about it in her diary. She wrote in her diary as if it was a friend, and she called it Kitty. She told her diary all about how the other people in hiding annoyed her and how much she wished she could go outside. In 1944 though, they were found and were taken to a concentration camp were Anne died in 1945.
It's a great book, because she made it so interesting, it's hard to put it down, grown ups and children alike will enjoy it!

Ballet Shoes: By Noel Streatfeild

I loved this book! It's about three sisters, Pauline,Petrova and Posy. They were adopted by Great Uncle Matthew, but he hasn't been seen for years and the money he left is running out. The three sisters start attending "The Children's Academy of Dance and Stage Training" in the hope that when they get older they can perform in shows to get more money.

It's a lovely Classic book, I like it that they get to perform in lots of shows! My favourite character was Pauline, she loves acting like me and I liked her personality best, but I loved them all!

Clarice Bean Spells Trouble: By Lauren Child

Clarice Bean Spells Trouble is really funny! Clarice is not very good at spelling (a bit like me) and when her teacher Mrs Wilberton announces her class is going to take part in a spelling Bee (which is another name for a spelling test) Clarice knows she won't do at all well and that Grace Grapello will because she can spell grapefruit. As well as a Spelling Bee Clarice's class is doing a school show of "The Sound of Music" and Clarice only gets the part of a Nun, who doesn't say anything. If you're interested in this book then I'd better tell you that it's the second in the series. The first one is called "Utterly Me Clarice Bean", then this one and third, "Clarice Bean Don't Look Now". So read the first one first!
