The Knightley Academy is a book written by Violet Haberdasher.It was published in 2010 and receive a lot of positive reviews.It tells a story about Henry Grim an orphan who works as a kitchen boy accepted to a prestigious Knight School.
The good
.An unfortunate boy sent to a boarding school with a teacher who hates him,classmates who loathe him.Harry Potter Fans would definitely love this book.
.Funny characters,and I like how the characters developed when the story goes further.
The bad
.To some who loves the mystery and adventure they find in Harry Potter,They wont probably find that much in this book.
.I just hoped the ending could be more epic.
Quick Summary
Henry Grim is accepted to a prestigious knight school since he passed an exam and receive free entrance to the school but almost everybody loathe him since most of them aare rich kids and they think they don't deserve to be there.There he made friends with two other kids who receive the free entrance to the school and the pricipal's daughter ..................That's all I want to say Why spoil a good book.
The conclusion
the Knightley academy is a smart and funny books filled with enchanting things that will make any Harry Potter fans at least enjoy it while it isn't actually that adventurous compared to Harry Potter to me I prefered the relationship between Henry and Vermont more than Harry and Malfoy.Skipping that aside even none Harry Potter fans would enjoy this great book if they're not looking for something magical that is.

Hello everybody Last week I read The Ogre Downstairs.It was written by Diana Wynne Jones.It was published in 1974.It did receive some positive review.
The good
.The characters are hilarious
.It has a very Imaginative story
The bad
.Too short(It's only about 250 pages)
.Not much of an adventure book
Quick summary
When their mothe marrries 'The Ogre'two of her sons immediatly dislike while Gwiiny was less jugdemental sice he onceheled her when she was lost.
When he moved in to the house he brought his two sons Malcolm and Douglas(the ogre's sons)of curse Caspar and Johny(Sally's sons)butfor the sake of theirmother they decided to pretend to care.One day 'The Ogre'bought two non chemical chemistry set.One for Malcolm and one for Caspar but when Caspar was mixing the substance Gwiiny accidentally......................Tha's al I can say since the book is short.
The conclusion
The Ogre Downstairs is a funny book with wild imaginative story that will definetely make you have a good while it is quite short and it could have probably more adventurous.The author probably decided the story was just about the family and for that I applaud her since she really manage to tie the strings to make an enjoyable for me.

Stardust
Hello everybody sorry I couldn't write the post but beside that I really hope that you enjoyed my blog for the past year thanks to everyone who made time to read my blog llast week I read stardust a book written by Neil Gaiman.Since I really liked the movie I decided to give this book a try.It was published in 1999 and recieved a lot of positive reviews.
The good
.I prefered some characters in the book than the movie like Victoria.
.Great story with smart characters.
the bad
.The book was too short.
.Some part were just left hanging.
.The book lack character develevopment
Quick summary
Thristan is a boy who lives at Wall travel to Faerie to take a fallen star to his beloved Victoria,At the same time the king of stormhold ask his 3 sons to look for the star for who could find it will become king,At the same time three witches are looking for the star too so they can eat her heart so they caan be young again............That's all I can say it's hard to say anything without revealing too much.
The conclusion
Stardust is a fun sweet tale but it is quite short and leaves some thing unanswered.The characters are really great but it lacks character development but probably it's trying to follow fairytale style so character development never that in fairy tale anyway.Nonetheless it is a great book not to be missed for those who love fairy tale I just hope he could havemde the airship part more longer.
