Summary Blog
The Boy in Striped Pajamas
By John Boyne
Pages: 218
This fiction book is
a sad story about the Holocaust. The
book focuses on only one family’s life during this time period. There is a boy
named Bruno who has to move and he is mad. “Why?” Bruno would always think. His
dad was a Nazi; Bruno’s family lived right next to a concentration camp with
people in striped pajamas. He made a friend with one of the men in the pajamas.
His name was Shmuel. Bruno really didn’t understand what the holocaust was
about, so one day he went under the fence.
He put on striped pajamas and tried to help Shmuel find his dad. They
both ended up dying (maybe from the gas chamber the book doesn’t say). If you
are a sensitive person, there are only a few parts that are sad.

Book Summary
Rotten Romans
By Terry Deary
Pages: 136
This hilarious but horrible book is about the Romans. Romans
would cut a person’s head off and nail it to their own house wall because they
thought the head had magical powers. Also, if kids were lazy in school then
they would get beaten. Clearly, these Romans were surely rotten.

Book Summary
The Magician’s Nephew
By C.S. Lewis
Pages 202
This magical fiction book is
about a girl named Polly and a boy named Digory. They go to different worlds
such as Charn, Wood between the Worlds and Narnia. Charn is an old gray and
dead world. In this world, Digory rings a bell and awakes an evil witch named
Jadis. Digory and Polly try to sneak
back to London without the witch, but she quickly grabs Digory’s ear. Jadis
enters London and starts hitting policemen with a lamppost. Thankfully, Digory
saves the day and grabs on to Jadis’s heel.
He thought only he and Polly would go back to The Wood between the
Worlds but instead Polly, Digory, Jadis, Strawberry, Uncle Andrew, and Cabby
went. They accidently went to a beautiful place called Narnia instead of Charn.
Aslan, the creator of Narnia,
finds out that Digory was the one responsible for taking Jadis there.
Digory had to do right by going to a garden far away and bring an apple
back. Will Digory do it??? Read the book
for yourself to find out. The video

Book Summary
The Boy Who Came Back
From Heaven
By Kevin & Alex
Malarkey
Pages 224 (haven’t
finish this awesome book yet)
This sad but powerful nonfiction Christian book is about a young
boy named Alex who was in a bad car crash and went into a coma. When he was in
the coma, Alex was actually in heaven. In
every chapter Alex describes what heaven is like, stated that he couldn’t see
God’s face but he was talking to him. Also,
the story tells about what his parents were going through while Alex was in the
coma. This book describes heaven,
angels, the devil, and the voice of God.
So far, I have enjoyed reading this book.Tuesday, October 2, 2012
Book Summary
Gorgeous Georgians
By Terry Deary
Page: 140
This book is a super
funny book that tells about the Georgians in the 1700s. For example, the book
shows how ladies put on their makeup every day and also tells who wore false
eyebrows, which were made from mouse skin.
The most horrible part of all is what the Georgians did with squashed fish
eyes. Read It at your own risk.
