Ottoline Goes To School

I'm really sorry I know I promised you that I will be transalating my posts in japanese starting this month not only that I only managed to write two posts this month.I will try to transalate them as soon as possible and you can expect three posts next month maybe even four if I have some free time.I read Ottoline Goes to School last week,you might remember that I read the first book for my children book month on May.The book was published in 2008.It is written by Chris Riddell,you might recognize him as the illustrator of the Edge Chronicles.

High and Low
.The Illustration looks much more natural.
.The story is much more stronger than the first book

.Too short

Quick Summary
Ottoline meets a girl named Cecily.Cecily lives in a great house and she also seems to have a great lineage of families.She goes to the Alice .B Smith for the Differently Gifted.Ottoline decides to enroll to the school there she meets more new friends and this put Mr Munroe in a quite unpleasant situation.It seems that the school is hunted  and it wants to chase the students away but Ottoline is determine to find the ghost and her hidden gift as well...........................This book is pretty short.If I said more I would be revealing too much.

The Conclusion
I'm glad to say that Ottoline Goes to School was much better than Ottoline and The Yellow Cat.It seems that the author is getting used to his characters,making them much more likable(both in personality and illustration) I also felt that the story was stronger than the first book,sure it is still probably too simple for older readers but I don't think they will complain much considering the beautiful illustration and the wacky characters.However I still hope that the book could be longer.I know this is a children book but considering the huge amount of illustration I just wished there were more text to follow with.Nonetheless I would be glad to reccomend this book to any parents around who are looking a great book for their kids.

Rating;8 out of 10

Beyonders:Seeds of Rebellion

Happy New Year readers.(I know that it has been more than a week but I still feel that i should say it)As I promised you last week I will try to buy my own books for this month.All of my brother and sister banned me from reading any of their book for a month so I have no choice but to buy my own book for this month.
Anyway I do hope you remember that I will be starting to transalate my post into japanese,just saying my japanese really need some brushing so I probably need a couple of month to get my japanese good enough to write a nicely written post but for now you need to bear with my baly written japanese.This book is written by Brandon Mull and it was published in 2012.This is the second book of the Beyonders series.

The High and Low
.The story is more adventurous compared to the first book.
.The characters were more likable than I remembered

.I felt that the author completely ignored Jason

Quick Summary
Jason is now back on the real world,he felt guilty about leaving Rachel alone in that world and he also he need to tell her that the secret word was fake before she confronts Maldor.One day he decided to visit the zoo,once again he heard the music coming from the hippo's mouth and without thinking he went inside hoping it would get him back to that world.Rachel is now on the run,one day she met a woman who can help her training with Edomic(Rachel has a natutal talent for speaking Edomic).She decided to stay with her for a while because she wants to be stronger.After hearing the news that Jason had returned,Rachel thank the woman and took off to find him.After meeting up they decided to meet all the words holder to tell them they don't have to guard it anymore because the word is actually meant for another person but unfortunately they find out that the words holder are getting killed........................................................That's all I will say.

The Conclusion
Like I said the last time Beyonders is a great book.It shows a dark fantasy world but yet I still can feel that it was written for young teen so by doing that it appeals to a lot of readers.This time I felt the book had a far a greater adventure than the last book.This is probably because the events felt more important.Anyway some characters were more likable than I remembered,I know I said the characters were likable when I reviewed the first book but there were still some annoying but likable characters.The only major thing I had to complain was about Jason.Truthfully I felt the author completely Ignored Jason after Jason and Rachel met.
Not to mention that the author made Jason felt useless.Rachel was learning Edomic.She could defeat monsters with that knowledge and that made her a valuble asset but Jason tried to learn the art of sword fighting but that takes years to master and I doubt with the skill he has know will be able to fight three soldiers let alone a monster.Regardless Beyonders is still full of strong characters and a great story that probably will keep you entertain to getthe third book.

あけましておめでとうございます、もう一週間以上がたった.しかし私が言うべきであると感じました。約束通りこんげつのあいだ自身の本を読んでみます。実は兄弟の本を借りられませんでした。それで自身の本を買わせます、ところでこんげつのはじめに日本語を使うつもりです。
私の日本語は大変下手のであなたは少し待たけれべなりない、日本語を使かうようになります。
今、あなたは私のひどい日本語を読まさせられます。この本はブランドンマルによって書かれました2010年に発表されました。

ハイとロー
。この話は処女作比べてもっとぼうけんに感じました。
。キャラクターはわたしの記憶よりもっと好ましい。
