Swiss Family Robinson

3 out of 5 stars 

My thoughts: I was sort of disappointed in the book because in the movie they have a pirate attack and in the book there are no pirate’s but, there was a giant boa attack. The donkey was accidentally let go and was killed by the boa and then they shot it while it’s eating the donkey. This book made me feel like if I was ship wrecked I could save me and my family by what I have read. This sort of compares to another book where 6 kids are ship wrecked and survives on an island. 

A family of 6 is shipwreck on an island and is left to their own devices. Father, Mother, Fritz, Ernest, Jack and little Francis build an aerial tree house, a house in a rock, along with many other things. They use what is on is on the island and left on the ship to survive ten years. They have sugar, a large farm, lots of common animals and exotic birds and animals. They tame a buffalo, an ostrich, an elephant, a hawk; some parrots a jackal, a monkey and some bees.

Summary: The Black Cauldron is about Taran and his companions (Who are the kings of the other lands, Doli and Fflewddur) set of to destroy the black cauldron of Anouvin. Everyone had a different task. When the people who went to get the cauldron got there they found out that the cauldron has already been taken! Princess Eilonwy and faith full gurgi snuck away to join the companions. Then the7 of them went out to find the cauldron.

 
Why I liked the book: I liked it but not that much. It has like 5 really good parts and 10 so so. It made me feel like I should not say rude things to people how like Taran did to Eilonwy. I really liked Doli because he can turn invisible. I hope you liked the book. Bye.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

Summary: The Book of Three is about a young boy named Taran an assaint pig keeper and his companions. Taran meets up with Prince Gwydion on a quest to destroy the horned king. Well they get captured by an enchantress. They were brought to her home and Taran was thrown into prison. He did not know where Gwydion went.  At her home is where he met two other companions and they all set of to kill the Horned King. His companions names are Elionwy a princess and Fflewddur flam a bard. They also run into two other companions named Gurgi a animal who is trying to be a human and Doli a dwarf. 

How I liked the book: I kind of liked the book though it wasn`t too good. It had a few good parts but not whole lot. It made me feel like I was Eilonwy. I like being at least one of the main charters and she can do magic. Even though she can do magic and I can`t I still like her.
