FURR, Mark: Stories for Reading Circles. Bookworms Club BRONZE. Oxford University Press, 2007

ESCOTT, John: Sister Love

The story is about two opposite sisters. They lived with their father. When Marcia ( a sister), has gota boyfriend (Howard), Karin (the second sister) stole her boyfriend, but Marcia didn't know it. When Marcia discovered the Karen's relation, Marcia pushed karen, and she slipped and fell down the wall, and hit in the ground, because in her hands had suntan oil ( and did she die?)

I like the story because when it finishes, Karen fell down. Also I like the story because in the class I read the dialogue of Karen, and it was funny.

THE LITTLE HUNTERS AT THE LAKE

Yalvac URAL : The Little Hunters at the Lake

The story is about a group of boys that want to be hunters. Hikmet secretly borrows his father's big hunting gun and he and his friends go down to the lake. They shoot a crane bird which is a symbol of love.
They can't eat the bird so they bury it near the lake.
When it is Spring they go back to the crane's grave and find its partner dead on the grave. Hunters never shoot crane birds.

I like this book because I like birds and my uncle is hunter. He tells me about birds, and their way of life.

La caja de música

El libro trata de una muñeca que está en una caja de música y no puede salir. Conoce a Nino, que le dice que fuera de esa caja hay muchas cosas. La muñeca consigue salir, pero Nino no está, se lo ha llevado el Que no tiene cara. La muñeca pasa por diferentes sitios y aventuras y al final encuentra a Nino. En la historia aparecen muchos personajes, uno o dos por escena. La historia sucede en sitios imaginarios, que no existen, por ejemplo: Jaulajá. Yo creo que la historia significa la libertad, el miedo a salir de la muñeca se supera.

Me ha gustado mucho el libro, ya que en general me gustan las obras de teatro, y aparte, el tema estaba muy bien. Me gustó el trozo en que la muñeca encuentra a Nino, porque si te lo imaginas es una escena muy bonita.

No he tenido mucha dificultad en leerlo, ya que las palabras eran sencillas y fáciles, por eso no he tenido que preguntar a nadie, ni buscar en el diccionario.Yo lo recomendaría a niños de nuestra edad, porque a mi me ha gustado mucho, pero también depende de la persona.

The Canterville Ghost

WILDE, Oscar: The Canterville Ghost. Oxford University. Oxford Bookworms, 2. Oxford, 2004 . 841/A1-A2

The story is about a family who moves to a house which is haunted and there is a ghost but this ghost is not scary, so children laugh doing ambushes and giving shocks it.

I liked the book because the story is based on children who disturb ghosts and so children are not afraid of ghosts.

The book is rather childish but to learn English is good because there are many words to learn. I recommend this book to learn more. Although the story is quite simple, from the beginning until the end is very entertaining.

In the story Mr Harris travels by train to go to Oulu in Finland. In his carriage two people came in. Mr Harris looks Elena and Carl arguing about a diamond necklace. Elena di Saronelli is a young woman. She is the little sister of Carl. She has dark eyes and black hair. She is very beautiful. She was half-Italian, half-Finnish. Elena killed Carl and Mr Harris ran the corridor to go to the guard. The guard tells the story of Elena di Saronelli and Carl. The guard tells in September the ghosts of Elena and Carl come on the train.

I liked the book because it's fantasy and horror. It's very interesting. Also because the story happens in the train. I recommend this book because the vocabulary is not difficult. I liked it!
