Peanut, The Reader

Aloha! Peanut here (who else would it be?) with a review for the book Tiger Boy. This book was even used in my class as an anchor text for nature. The entire 6th grade had to read and annotate it to learn about summaries, transition words and also for the setting of the Sunderbans as it was related to our expedition-"Geography that shapes us." No this book is not that boring that old, cranky teachers like it so much (they can like GOOD books sometimes too.) It is genuinely written very well and the backstory and struggles can be related to other village people. Here's a summary: Neel is an extremely clever boy who loves his village. He has been offered a scholarship and his family wants him to go and earn money and be successful but, Neel hates the idea of leaving his beautiful Sunderbans. And then a tiger cub escapes from the reserve! Gupta is determined to find the cub and sell it in the black market. Neel and his sister, Rupa, are determined to save the cub from G

Hello again,  I'm sorry I haven't been blogging regularly. School just started and I have been crazy busy. Now that I have holidays you will hopefully find more blogs. Here's a book review on a book called "Brain Games". When I saw this book, I decided to read it first. I opened it up and read a few pages then shut it immediately. No, don't get me wrong. This book is not bad at all.  It's just that I simply don't like non-fiction books and I am sure most others my age don't. However, I knew I would have to read it sooner or later and review it, so I decided to get it over with. Then came the big shock. THIS BOOK IS NOT BAD AT ALL . I can't even compare it with bad, forget worst or even more worse than worst. It's full of information and a few games here and there. An incredibly useful book. It's all about how your brain works, what all it does in order for you to speak, hear and see and a lot of other things. It is written in

Hi, I'm so sorry I haven't been blogging. My eyes are getting spoiled so my father told me not to read so much. Then my computer charger burnt and I could not use it. I'm using my brothers right now. I'm so sorry publishers and readers. School has just started and I'm a lot more busy but I will try to keep up with my blogs Thanks and sorry about not blogging regularly, Peanut

Hello everyone! This book has been sent to me by the publishers and I really liked it. Here's a review. This book is a collections of poems by Ruskin Bond. Though there are a few sad poems but there are more happy ones. Some of my favourites are Demon Driver, The Cat Has Something To Say and If Mice Could Roar . All these poems are the happiest and funniest in the book. (I even copied them and stuck them all over my notebooks. They are absolutely brilliant.) Though a few are a little far-fetched and there are some words I could not make sense of, this book is still a must-have for the kids who love poems or those who read them for good fun (like me). I did however wish the author to be a little less sentimental at times (that means sad). I don't think I know anyone who likes sad poems. 10 yr olds are more like the happy,bouncy type. Nevertheless, as there are more happy poems than the sad ones, this little thing did not bother me much. Yes, a few are boring, but there are

Bonjour, all! Another day, another review! This is one for The One and Only Ivan, a classic by Katherine Applegate. In this book, a lonely gorilla named Ivan, lives in a cage at a shopping mall. He doesn't even miss the jungle. But then, a baby elephant arrives and changes his life forever. What I really liked about the book was the fact that it was written in a gorilla's own words. As I quote my favourite line from the book "Homework, I have discovered involves a sharp pencil and thick books and long sighs." Katherine Applegate has written a very entertaining book. The story is very heart-touching and I really liked it. Score on the Peanut Meter: ★★★.7 out of 5 Sayanora*, Peanut * I'm kinda-sort of running out of words! Any suggestions??

Hallo everybody,  Here's another book review on the book Wonder. Even before I read the book, I knew it was a big thing. Everyone in my school and class had heard of it. This book was constantly recommended to me by others so I finally went and issued it from my school library. (someone had always borrowed it.) I didn't know what to expect, but I still got it. Wonder is an amazing story which contains the message that one should not judge others by their face. Here's a summary: Wonder is a heart-touching story about a boy named August Pullman, who has been born with facial differences and starts going to school for the first time. It's not easy at all, but with new friends, Auggie might just pull through. This book is written in the disguise of different people in the story, each telling their own side. The different stories by each character really help you understand who did what and why they did it. R.J. Palacio is an amazing author who writes simple words but
