Karen's Unicorn

Karen's unicorn is a story about a girl who loved unicorns and always believes that one day she will see one.

So one day the school was taking Karen's class to a field trip to a circus. There they saw clowns and acrobats best of all for Karen was when they saw the beautiful and magical unicorn. She could not believe her eyes she was thrilled with joy. I learned, if you love something always believe in it and someday it might come true.

It's a very funny book and i wish there was one about Stink, Judy's funny brother.

If you like penguins, you should check out this book from the library. It has lots of interesting facts and it shows you all the different kinds of penguins. I liked the king penguin best, because to me, they are the most handsome and friendliest kind.

Book Review by Leila Balaa



The Minpins
This story is about a kid called Billy, whose mother always tells him what he is supposed to do. All the things he was allowed to do were boring, while all the things he was not allowed to do were exciting. He was definitely not allowed to go alone through the garden gate and explore the world. However, one day Billy decided he was tired of being good all the time, and went alone into the big forest. This is how his adventure started in this world of dragons and minpins without his mother knowing anything about it!

Beetle Boy


This book was easy. I like Beetle Boy.
Gregory Sampson woke up one morning and found himself as a beetle , a giant one. He stared in the mirror on the back of his bedroom door. He had a large purple brown beetle body. He had two big dark beetle eyes. He had two long beetle antennae and six long thin, hariy beetle legs. Gregory thought this wasn't happening. Gregory tossed himself down on all sides and went to the bathroom. He had to get dressed but his tshirt had two holes only. So he cut to more for his two other legs and pants for his two legs. He tripped down on the stairs and went down to eat breakfast. When Gregory was eating breakfast, no one from his family noticed that he was a beetle. And no one else noticed him in the school and the bus, except his friend Michael?! But when he came back home he was hanging on the celling of his room and his parents believed him and found out he was a beetle but the next day he turned back into a human.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone



By Yves Achdjian

I loved reading this book and I consider it the best book I have read so far. Throughout the book, Harry gives himself the responsibility to keep the sorcerer's stone out of Voldmort's hands. While doing so, his friend Hagdrid wins a dragon's egg and takes care of it until it hatches. The climax of the story occured when Harry Potter discovers Voldmort's trye identity. I hope that you take the time to read this book and complete the series.
