The Fireman

The Fireman 
Author:  David Smith



    Have you ever saved a child's life and awarded a gold medal for being a life saver? Have you ever been recruited by the chief to go to America to work as a high-ranking fireman? 

    The interesting part was nice because the fireman saved the life of the child and he had been awarded a gold medal.
 
    We felt happy when we read that book. Even though the fireman knew that he might die in the situation,  he still tried his best to save the child. The heroic things that he had done in that situation was not wasted. 
 
    We learned that we must not always think for ourselves but also for others. We can also learn many heroic lessons in this story. 

    Sometimes we even think that doing the impossible is not possible but we should always think in a positive way so that we can achieve on what to do. Like what the firemen did he saved the child knowing its a 50/50 percent chance that he'll come back alive, but he think positive and saved the child.

The Secret Garden

The Secret Garden
by: Frances Hodgson Burnett
retold by: Joyce Faraday



Have you ever felt alone and left out? Have you experienced being a spoiled brat? Have you ever discovered your own magical secret? Meet Mary Lennox, a young, bad-tempered and spoiled young lady, sent to Misselwaithe Manor in New York. There, she is able to gain new friends and is able to grow into a lovely girl, aided by the magic of the Secret Garden.

I can relate to it since I also have a very sickly cousin, like Colin, who is one of the characters in the story.  Like Mary who always visits Colin, I always visit my cousin. I feel very contented after reading since the character were able to have a happy ending. The Secret Garden is one of my favorite books, I like the way the story goes, and how it teaches you a lesson.

I would recommend this to other kids because I know they will love this book because of the secret it possesses. Even though written over 50 years ago, The Secret Garden is a story whose secret will never fail to appeal to generation after generation.

Jack Sparrow, The Siren Song

        Have you ever imagined of fighting a monster that has the same size of a tall building? Or have you ever fought a monster without legs? If you're courageous enough, sail with Jack Sparrow!!

                      JACK SPARROW, THE SIREN SONG
                                                                 Robb Kidd
         
         Jack and his crew went on a mission to find the Sword of Might. But on the way there, they experienced a little problem. They found an island and they went but it keeps on disappearing! They even heard a Siren's Song! Will they defeat  the Sirens? Will they get the sword? Find out.

         I feel happy because Jack got the Sword of Might. He fought his way through to get the sword. He defeated the Sirens after getting the Sword of Might. He, too, found out the secret behind the disappearing island.

        I can be courageous in life like Jack Sparrow. I will do anything just to get my goal. I will not just think of myself. I will be considerate too.

        I would recommend this because it has many interesting parts. You won't get bored reading this book. It has many values that you can apply to your life. It is also interesting.

Pokemon: Orange League

Pokemon
~Orange League~


Have you ever defeated your master in your sport?
Or have you ever tried being a champion?
Well, if you have not done that yet, then you should keep
practicing because like Green, he is just a noob at first but
later on, after a lot of battles and training, he succeeded.
Orange league is a competition of tough trainers and this is their tradition
every year. Green was so lucky to be qualified as a rookie. So, can Green
defeat the other tough trainers or will he just walk away and be defeated?


Green is a trainer. He loves to play with his Pokemons. He had been trough a lot of gym battles and now he entered the orange league. As what as I have said, Orange league is a competition of trainers and Pokemons. He have to eliminate trainers as many as he can and now he should always train his Pokemons so that he can succeed. Will he win in the Orange league or will he fail? But there are chances that Green can win and there are also chances in which Green can be defeated. 


After I read this book, I was shocked. I didn't know that would happen. I was tricked because i thought that the Anonymous guy was Steven but it was someone else. At the end, I was happy although Green lost in his last battle. I do love reading this book again and again.


I can relate the story to my life on different things. First, I should know how to be patient because like Green, he is always patient. The story is also all about hardwork. A  person cannot fulfill his/her dreams without any hardwork. I also have my own dreams to fulfill, so I should always have this value. This book is not only about beating trainers, but this book also teaches the children to apply good values in life. Green is a good example of a good trainer, and i will follow his good examples and i will always apply it to my life.


I would recommend this book to the students like me. Everybody can read this. I am sure that you will be also shocked at the ending. This book is more on adventure. So, I am sure that you would feel happy at the end even though it's thrilling. For the last time. I'm encouraging everyone to read this Manga book.

THE ENGLISH ROSES: THE NEW GIRL

THE ENGLISH ROSES: THE NEW GIRL
By: Madonna Ritchie
Children’s book - Fiction


           Do you sometimes have to choose between your old friends and your new friends? Do you sometimes do silly things that hurt the feelings of your friends? This book tells of a story about friendship between old friends and new friends.
         
          Nicole was excited that her friend from New York, Leslie, is coming to London. Nicole felt she had more in common with Leslie and started to spend more time with Leslie than her old friends, the English Roses. When Nicole didn’t show up to the talent show practice with her friends to attend a concert with Leslie, the other English Roses got angry with her. Nicole decided to break off her friendship with the English Roses and decided to perform in the talent show with Leslie. But, Nicole misses her friends and thought of a way to be friends with them again.       
 
          Like the English Roses, I am also a part of a group of friends called JAGKATZ. Although we are part of a group, we all have other friends also.  This story made me realize that I should always value my friends and respect their feelings. My friends and I sometimes have small misunderstandings but we always make up in the end because our friendship is more important.   
 
          I would recommend this book especially to children 9 years old and above. This book talks about friendship and teaches lessons about friendship. It shows how we should value our old friends and how to be open to making new friends.
