Mandrágora

Al principio, Mandrágora puede resultar un libro poco apetecible, no sé, por la portada o por lo que dice detrás. Yo lo escogí por la escritora, Laura Gallego, pero resultó ser muy bueno. Miriam, la hija de un gran sabio llega con su padre a la corte de un rey, y, aunque no quiera admitirlo se enamora perdidamente de su hijo, el príncipe. A la vez, descubre un secreto sobre su naturaleza. Todo parece complicarse...
Un libro romántico, de aventuras, magia y misterio.

There are three children called Jared who is nine, his twin Simon and Mallory who is thirteen. They all have different characteristics, Jared is naughty, they would have expelled him from school but he was going anyway. Simon is an organised person, he also loves animals. Mallory is very bossy. After their parents´ separation, they moved house with their mum. Their new house is in the countryside. At night they heard noises. Jared thought they were ghosts. They went to investigate. They found a note:

In man’s torso you will find

My secret to all mankind

If false and true can be the same

You will soon know of my fame

Up and up and up again

Good luck dear friend.

After these strange things happened. Mallory’s hair was tied to the bed!

But if Simon and Jared were innocent... who did it then???

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure, girls and boys. They have put lots of imagination on it. There are lots of fantastic characters in this story, each with different features which make them interesting. This book is of adventure and mystery but most of all magic.

Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket

This book is about three children: Klaus, Sunny and Violet Baudelaire.Their parents had died in fire which has destroyed their mansion and all their possessions.They were living with Mr.Poe, and his wife Polly, sharing a room with their ill-behaved children Edgard and Albert. Mr.Poe locates a distant cousin called Count Olaf, he is a very bad person. All their miserable life starts then.
In some ways I did like this book, but it is a little bit sad. Both boys and girls can read it. I think this book has adventure, and, once you are reading it you wont be able do put it down, it encourages you to read more and more. This book holds your attention. I think it is a very interesting book.
