Treasures From Grandma

by: Hannah

Treasures From Grandma

My favorite chapter is called Cousin Agatha. It’s my favorite because it is all about how you should be kind instead of mean. You learn not to be deceitful or do what is wrong. When you are good, you get fun rewards. Treasures From Grandma has many other chapters, but nothing like this one. The book has many exciting stories. Read this book and it will seem as you are really in it!

Oliver Twist

Submitted by Kyla 4

Kyla listened to Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens. This was a challenging book for Kyla to understand. Here is her review of the book.

Oliver faced the problem of looking for a family. He was born at the workhouse and his mom died. Oliver Twist does finally find his family in London. Mr. Brownlow and Monks helped him to find his family. It is a surprise to find out who Oliver’s family is.

Mr. Brownlow is my favorite character because he is a good guy. Mr. Brownlow is my favorite character because he helped Oliver to find his family. Bill Sikes and his thieves were the bad guys because they let Oliver go to jail when the thieves were the ones stealing. Bill Sikes was one of the bad people because he killed Nancy.
