My favourite book is Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone that is the first part of the franchise wizard services. In this there was an 11 year old boy Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliff) dwells with his uncle, aunt and cousin. Harry used to live with his mother’s sister’s family since shortly after his birth, when his parents were murdered by the evil wizard Voldemort. He tried to kill the infant Harry as well, but failed leaving the boy and amazed except for a scar on his forehead. After that incident Voldemort vanished, never to b e heard from again. On Harry’s birthday 100 Rubeus Hagrid came at Harry’s house who came to Hogwarts School of Wilchcraft and wizardy to take Harry their so he could study to fulfill his true calling of wizard. After a trip with Hagrid to buy supplies (including a wand, a snowy owl and a cauldron), then Harry arrived at Hogwarts. There he meets classmates, and two of them became very good friends. Those were Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and bossy – Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) and antagonists such as arrogant Oraco Malfey (Term Felton). Then there was a headmaster of Hogwarts the venerable wizard Albus Dumbledore (Richard Harris) and his staff – Professor McGonagall and Maggie Smith), who teaches Transfiguration, Professor Quirrel (Ian Hart) whose course was to Defence the Dark Arts.

School: Summer Fields School
My favourite book is story “A Day” by Walt Disney’s.
This book “Story a Day” is full of stories. This book is one of a fantastic new series of Walt Disney. There a re four books in the series – one for spring, one for summer, one for autumn and one for winter. Each book contains a story for every day of the season, so if you read all four you will have a story a day all year round, including one for the special days, like Christmas day. All the stories have been specially written for the series and feature favorite Disney characters in lots of exciting and entertaining new adventures. And if you like to laugh you’ll even find jokes in the books too! Like in the story “Mougli’s coconut”. Mougli wants to eat coconut so he decided that the best way to do it was to hurt it through the air and hope that it would crack open as it landed on the ground. But nothing happens and suddenly there was a very loud thundering noise. It was colonel Hathi, who was patrolling his elephants. They come when they had gone, Mougli looked around for his coconut. At last, he found it! The shell how been well and truly cracked open it funny? For every child who can read these books will make a treasured gift, and toddlers will find that but time every night will be a special event, as they fall asleep listening to tales of Mickey, Donald, Goofy and their Disney land friends.
Adventures of Noody,reviewed by Harshit Chawla
Name: Harshit Chawla
School: Summer Fields School
Adventures of Noody is my favourite book. Noddy inhabits the wonderful Toyland. Noddy has a wonderful little car which he always keep racing around the streets of Toy Town laid. Mr. Sparks, Big Ears, Tessle Goblins, Martha Monkey are all his friends, not to forget his favourite person in Toy Land, Mr. Plod, the policemen. Noddy and his faithful car, which accompanies him in his adventures and saves his bacon on a umber of occasions. He has series of fun adventures and the one that I like most is “Noddy and the special key”. In this story one day Noddy while driving through the street of Toyland, was unable to stop his little car as its brakes was not working. on seeing this Mr. Plod shouted at him “Slow down”. “I don’t think I can!” said Noddy and his car bumped into an old oak tree and finally stopped. Noddy quickly took the key of his car “Well the special key did start my car but I shall not use it again.” Actually this is clockwork Mouse key which Goblins have stolen and that’s why he was unable to do amazing leaps. I think these books are very good way of introducing children to the wonderful world of reading.

My favourite story book is Grimms Fairy Tales. I have read this book many times. With my grandma, I and my younger brother usually sit in the evening or in the long afternoons of summer vocations with our grandma. She narrated so many stories to us such as The Golden Bird, Snow Doop, Ms. Fox, The Turnip, Cat skin, The Frog Prince, The Goose Girl and The Elves and the shoemaker etc.
These all stories are interesting. That when I started reading these stories, I never stopped in between. I always finish the story first. Every story give us courage to do something. I must be brave in every condition, whether it is favourable or not. We should always try to do our best. We must obey our elders and help those who are weak.
Even I have not read the whole book. I want to read it whole on my own. I promise to complete it in my next summer holidays. I love to read book.

Books are our best friends. They are a food for the mind. They console us in our sorrow and make us forget the worries of life.
Of all the books I have read, I like the Gita most. It is holy books of the Hindus. It is my true guide, and a never-failing friend. I love to read it every morning. It is a store-house of knowledge, wisdom and virtue. It teahes me the secret of success in life. It tells me the importance of self-effort, devotion to duty and good actions.
It shows me light in the dark hours of life. It teaches me that good triumphs over evil in the long run. I worship the Gita and have firm faith in it. It gives me peace of man and true happiness.

My favourite book is ‘The Three little Pigs’. In this book the sentence structure is very simple. In this story, the three little pigs work together to get rid of the wolf.
From the this story, I learnt that if we want to succeed we should be united, where there is a will there is a way. I love illustrations of the book which matches the text. I also learnt that we should be united. When at the last the three little pigs got united and together they got free from the wolf. I also learnt from this story that w should help each other.
This story also tells us that we should not be selfish and we should not laugh at others. The 2 younger pigs laughed at the elder pig when he said he wanted to the build a house of bricks. But at the end, the elder pig’s house which was strong helped them to get rid of the wolf. I really love his book.

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, reviewed by Varun Bhargava

School: Gyan Mandir Public School
About the Author: Hosseina was born in Kabul where his father worked for the Afghanistan Foreign Ministry. Hosseini graduated from Independence High School in San Jose in 1984 and enrolled at Santa Clara University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in biology in 1988. The following year, h entered the University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine, where he earned his MD in 1993. He practiced medicine until a year and a half after the release of the Kite Runner.
In Afghanistan, young Amir’s earliest memories of life in Kabul are blessed with a cultural heritage that values tradition, blood ties and a deeply rooted cultural identity. Amir enjoys the luxury of education, material comfort and a constant playmate, the son of his father’s longtime Hazare servant, Hassan. Twice in his lifetime, Amir is morally tested in his relationship with Hassan. The first time, a victim of his own arrogance, Amir fails his companion. Hiding behind the superiority class, Amir choses the path of least resistance, but the scar of betrayal cuts through his soul and never heals. Returned to his homeland at the request of an old family friend, the second challenge is equally parlors, and Amir realizes the very real implications of his decision. Played out on the world stage, a desperate battle to preserve the a cultural heritage of Afghanistan spans Amir’s life in Kabul and America while Amir and his father reside safely in America, their homeland is decimated by constant warfare- streets lined with beggars, fatherless children. Against the start landscape, the adult Amir is challenged as never before, charged with the protection of a life already scared by the random violence visited upon the disenfranchised. Complications abound, but the answer lies in humanity’s capacity for kindness. The grace of acceptance heals the wounds of brutality, for with forgiveness anything is possible, even the wild joy of soaring kites against a winter sky.
I recommend this book for all the book lovers in this world.

The author of this story is ‘Jules Verne’. He is also known as the ‘Founding Father of Science Fiction’. Verne’s stories, written for adolescents as well as adults, caught the enterprising spirit of the (19th, its uncritical fascination about scientific progress and inventions). His works were often written in the form of a travel book, which took the readers on a voyage to the Moon in From The Earth to the Moon (1865) or to another direction as in A Journey to the Centre of the Earth (1864).
Main Characters:
Phileas Fogg - Employee
Passepartout - Servant
Mr. Fx - Police Officer
This book is very interesting and exciting. The story is like this.
Phileas Fogg is a very punctual person. He is extremely wealthy, straight forward and men centric. Like any regular day, he walked into a club, met with some friends and in conversation, places a bet of 20,000 pounds, saying that he can travel around he world in 80 days. Of course, back then, this would have been near to impossible, for they didn’t have the technology we have today. If he fails to make it back to the club in exactly 80 days, he will lose half of his fortune.
Accompanied by his new, but loyal, as well as trustworthy servant, Passepartout, they embark on a magnificent journey, they rescue an Indian woman, Ms. Aauda, from a sacrificial ritual. Fogg has given his word to et the woman to safety in Japan to her relatives. However, when they find out that her relative didn’t live there anymore she has no choice but to accompany the two on their journey.
Back in London however, there has been a bank robbery, where the thief got away with a total grand amount of 50,000 pounds! The police’s suspicion arouses on to Mr. Fogg, who they think has made up an excuse to travel around the world in 80 days, in order to get away from the arms of law. Thus, a private detective is sent out to follow Phileas Fogg, gather evidence against him, and wait for an arrest warrant to throw him into jail. This of course delays Fogg’s progress.
Mr. Fogg who has very less time, returns but thought that the bet is over and he lost it. But when Passepartout returned he gave the news that tomorrow is in fact Saturday and that they are still in time. This was made possible because they gained a day in traveling the globe to the east.
I recommend this book for all book lovers in the world.

This irritated the teacher. He asked Albert, why? Albert replied that he didn’t see a point in learning dates. One could learn about them from books. Ideas are more important than facts and figures. The teacher attributed to Albert that he didn’t believe in education. He talked in a sarcastic manner. Albert told him that education should be about ideas and not facts.

Next time his cousin came to Munich. She told Albert that if he tried he could pass the examination. There were more stupid boys than him. Moreover, passing the examination was not difficult.
