This is the first book in the Famous Five
George likes to be referred to as a boy and she does act like one. She can swim and run really fast. At first, she decided not to like her cousins and not entertain them at all. She’ll only act civil to them in order not to get a beating from her scientist father.
However, she grew to like her cousins a lot. The siblings are very caring and loyal to her and have defended her at times. They also kept George’s dog, Timmy, a secret from her parents. This is what you’ll find in Enid Blyton books. The children will somehow like one another, which is good and can cultivate positive feelings in younger readers.
Well, George’s family lives at Kirrin Bay, which is near to Kirrin Island. George claims that the island belongs to her since her mother doesn’t want it and gave it to George. While visiting the island, a wreck of a ship which has been underwater for a long time has been brought up by the waves of the sea. There’s supposed to be gold in it, so the children set out to explore it. They did not find any gold, unfortunately.
The most exciting part was where somebody who wanted to buy the island for a good sum of money that can help George’s family. They have been having financial problems as George’s scientist father isn’t making much. Therefore, they jumped at the opportunity of selling the island. This of course angers George who obviously loves her little island and the ruined castle on it.
I thought this book plain boring. Perhaps it’s because I’ve not read it as a child and that I’m only reading it now. The book is meant for children, after all. But if you did read it as a child, you can always read it again and relive your younger days!

I don’t quite remember when I started reading this book, probably at the end of June or beginning of July and I only finished it tonight! I’m already not a fan of romance books but I thought I’d give 
a try as it was sent from Sourcebooks.
Friday’s child is loving and giving, which describes Hero perfectly. Hero’s an orphan and she’s been under her cousin’s care ever since she was young. Well, her cousin wasn’t really fond of her and her life’s actually quite miserable.
What an interesting book! And imagine if you had SIX brothers and sisters, seven if you include yourself! Wouldn’t it be fun and rowdy everyday, fighting and playing with your numerous siblings? That’s what life is for the Ruggles family who live at Number 1, One End Street in Otwell.
Who’s the firestarter in this book? Why, it’s only a little girl! So young and innocent and yet she is able to start fires that could burn you to death.
by Stephen King is one of the many interesting and thought-provoking books that I’ve read. The little firestarter’s name is Charlene McGee or just Charlie. Her parents, Andy and Vicky, once needed 200 dollars when they were young and they had participated in some weird drug experiment to get the money.
Katherine met Michael Wagner at a New Year Eve’s party. It seemed like instant attraction between the both of them, I think. Katherine feels that she has never felt so strongly about any guy before. With Michael, she’s nervous yet happy to be with him.
