Gerard Albert Feliu - Diary of a Wimpy Kid “The Long Haul”

A family trip is supposed to be fun… unless, of course, you are the Heffleys. The trip starts full of promises, and then quickly takes several wrong turns. First, a runaway pig, then the car problems, the petrol-station bathrooms, crazed seagulls- not really what Greg Heffleys idea of a good holidays and nice time. But even the worst road trip ever can turn into a challenging adventure.

I really like this book because I like the way the author makes the Greg Heffleys life tuff and difficult, and in some cases even embarrassing. This book is full of funny jokes, adventure and it is very interesting to read. I will recommend this book for people around 10-15 years old. 

Finally my favorite character is Greg Heffley, since I really like his humor.

Gerard Albert Feliu - Football Academy ‘Boys United’

One day he goes to the United trial under-twelves, there he makes a big impression and gets selected to play and represent Manchester United for a season. But he knew it wasn’t going to be an easy way. There he needs to fight for his place in the starting team, since there is a lot of potential and press. In this new adventure he develops his reals skills and lives new adventures.

I really enjoyed this book because I liked the context and also the characters. I will recommend this book to people who likes soccer, between an age of 10-15.

My favorite character was jake, who is the main character, I like him because I like the way he thinks.

Max Lee - Number Devil

I think I am good at mathematics because I am normal Korean student. I chose this book named “Number Devil” to read because I am a little bit interested in math. The main story of this book is a boy who really hates math meets number devil in his dream and starts to know the charm of math. In this book, the reason of the main character, Roberto hates math is his math teacher teaches him too boring. I couldn’t understand it because I have never slept during the math class.
Before I read this book, I thought this book will pretty boring but, it wasn’t. This book uses words that easy to remember. For example, when the number devil explains about square, he doesn’t say it is ‘square’. He says it is ‘hopping’. While I read this book, I felt the writer of this book is a rare genius. He has superior powers of sentence expression. His expression is making the subject come alive for the readers. He made me think math is not complicated problem and we can develop it with the practices. Also we need to practice regular.

If I have a chance to delete my memory of this book, I want to delete and read this book again.
I really recommend this book to you!
