Welcome to the book nook! This is a
place where I tell you folks about the books that I have read in the past few weeks or in the past month. So, what are we waiting for? Let's get started!
_____________________________________________________________
This was the first book that I borrowed in my new school's library. So, its quite special for that matter alone itself. But, you know what makes it even more special? The fact that it's one of Roald Dahl's books! My sister used to send me PDF versions of Roald Dahl's books to read like : Witch, Charlie and the chocolate factory, etc. All his books that I read were of PDF format and never an actual book. So, I was naturally very excited to read the book! I had great expectations before reading it and sure enough Roald Dahl didn't disappoint me. So, now finally about the book. The story revolves around a small girl a special one too named Matilda. She doesn't like watching television and she doesn't like her parents Mr & Mrs.Wormwood and they don't like her either. She prefers reading books of all sorts and of any genre. Her family is self-obsessed, crook and boring. She later joins school and makes friends with the children and with her teacher Miss. Honey. The school is run by a horrible mistress named Miss. Trunchbull. Everyone is terrified of her. However, Matilda is not and she finds Miss. Trunchbull a very boring old witch. She then finds that she has special powers and then the story goes on to how she uses her power and how she helps other people with her power and whether she ends up having the power with her forever or if she loses her magical abilities. Overall it's a really good read and I would personally recommend it to 11 - 14 year old's.

By this time Roald Dahl just got added into the list of my favourite authors. So, I had to read another book of Roald Dahl (Mr.RD). So, here we go. This story of Mr.RD takes us on an adventure to the Giant country. The story starts off with an orphan girl named Sophie. One night when she is not able to sleep she looks out of the window and sees a mysterious tall figure walking around the streets of London. The tall mysterious figure so happens to be a Giant! He see's her peeking through the window and takes her back to his cave, where she meets nine other giants, all of whom eat humans but fortunate for her the giant who kidnapped her is BFG. The Big Friendly Giant. He doesn't eat humans. The only reason he kidnapped her is so that she can't tell anyone about his existence. Since, humans are not supposed to know about the existence of giants. He fears being captured and put in a zoo. He is a much nicer guy than his fellow giants who eats humans for meals and treats him terribly. The plot is how Sophie and The BFG team up and plan to stop the Giants. Did they succeed? Its a good novel as per usual Mr.RD didn't disappoint me. This book gives a new perspective on having dreams and its really creative the idea of a Giant country and so much more. BFG is also made into a movie. So, you can always rent the movie out after reading the book. (Matilda is also made into a movie)

Sadly, the day when i went to return BFG and borrow another Roald Dahl's book I wasn't able to find any! So, I ended up taking this graphic novel written by Ann M. Martin. At first I thought it was going to be boring but it wasn't actually. The story revolves around these four best friends named Kristy, Claudia, Mary Anne and new girl Stacey McGill. Kristy has a great idea to form a Baby-Sitters Club. A club that babysits. Kristy and her friends, Claudia and Mary Anne, already baby sit as a part time job and they also consider getting new girl in town and school Stacey McGill to join, too. Once everything is decided and the club is formed, Kristy and her friends have wacky baby sitting adventures that they never counted on. It's all fun and games at the start but there is soon trouble in paradise. Will their friendship still go strong? Will they give up the club or will they keep trying? It's a really nice graphic novel about friendship and business and family.
