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.
