Charlie and the Chacolate Factory


Charlie and  the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl is such a great book. It shows how Charlie Bucket a less than ordinary kid with not that much money gets ahold of one of the five golden tickets from the legendary Willy Wonka's Chacolate Factory. The other four golden tickets go to Violet Beauregard, who wins at everything and cannot stop chewing on her gum, Augustus Gloop, a ravenous eater who eats so much chocolate everyday he had to win a golden ticket, Mike Teavee, who watches television and plays video games all the time who cracked the code of the Wonka candy bars, and Veruca Salt, who is spoiled rotten  and was also was guaranteed a golden ticket because her father had his peanut factory workers peel the wrappers until they found one. You have to read this book to find out about their wonderful day in Wonka's chocolate factory.

Mocking Jay

I just finished "Mockingjay" by Suzanne Collins, this was a great book to finish an amazing series. This author is so good at creating a character and spacing things well throughout the story so that everything is interesting. Katniss is my favorite character in this book because she goes threw a lot but still stays strong in the end and turns into a great leader. Everyone really developes in the books as the characters get older. This is definitely the most action packed book in them all because there is so much sorrow and so much going on. I can't give too much away but this book is so good and I hope you read it! I am sad that this series is over but I am looking forward to the movie and I hope that it is just as good as the books!
