"The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas"

I´am going to summarice this book of Jonh Boyne.This is an adventures book about the adventures of Bruno, the daughter of a coronel, a nazi one, and Samuel a jew.

The family of Bruno moved to autchbizt, in Germany. There the parents of Bruno told him not to went out of the house but he didn´tpay attention to them. He went out of the house, across the forest, and he saw a fence. There he met Samuel, a boy that was in the other side of the fence.

I like this book because of the adventures and also because it is based on a real fact. I recommend this book to all the people that has more than twelve years. If you enjoy other books of Jonh Boyne you will enjoy this one.

"El Valle De Los Lobos" by Laura Gallego

Later a man came into the farm that want to take Dana to a school in the valley of the wolves, but what Dana didn’t knew, is that the school was of magic.

I recommend it to people from 10 years old to 14 because it is a great book. And I also recommend the others 3 books of the collection: “La maldición del maestro”, “La llamada de los muertos” and “Fenris, el elfo”

'EL ULTIMO TABAJO DEL SEÑOR LUNA'

My favourite book is called 'EL ULTIMO TRABAJO DEL SEÑOR LUNA'. The autor is Cesar Mallorquí. He's very good. The book is very, very interesting. Iy has some scary parts, some funny parts and other parts that are very curious. One of the things that make this book my favourite book is that once you've started, you can't stop reading! It has 290 pages and I read it in two days.

The book is about a man called Luna a tall and very clever assasin that wants to kill a southamerican woman, called Flor Huanaco a beatiful woman, with not a very good character.
In the story a bad, evil man appears. He's called Sr Coronado and he has a, son even worst than him called Manuel Coronado. The story happens in a house of Madrid where a boy named Pablo and his father a glamorous trumpet player, live. Sr Coronado is a drugtraficker and orders Sr Luna to kill Flor because her husband an (aeroplane pilot) didn't transport drug to other countries; he was an honest man. Pablo has a lot of problems at school and he wanted to kill himself. Sr Luna kidnaps Flor's daughter, a beatiful 17 years ol girl.
Also Pablo is in love with an impossible girl called Celia, because she has a boyfriend called Vyctor, that is with Sr Luna and wants to kill Flor, too. Well, it's a little bit srtange, but I'm sure you will enjoy it.

I love this book because it'''s not difficult to read. Cesar Mallorqui explains the story very well and the story is very original. I think he has thought in boys of 12-16 years old. I have also learned a lot of things with this book, like that bad people can kill thousnds of people for money. The story of this book is not fantastic and can be real and I like that. Well, you should read it, I'm sure it will be your favourite book.

Twilight

Twilight is one of my favourite books. It's written by Stephanie Meyer. It's the first book of a collection of 4 books. Twilight is a romantic history of vampires.

I like this book because somehow , you feel identified by Edward or Bella and when you read it you can't stop thinking about it!! I recomended it to people of all the ages that like the vampires and romantic histories.

The main characters are Isabella Swan (Bella) and Edward Cullen ; the secondary characters are their families, and their classmates.

Twilight is about one girl ,(Bella) , who lived in Texas and decided to move to Forks, a little village where when she was younger , she spent her time in summer.
On the first day of the high school of Forks , Bella saw a strange boy. He was different from all the boys in the high school. Sometimes, Bella thought that the strange boy,(that is called Edward ), wasn't a normal person, that he was a ... vampire?? No, because the vampires weren't exist, or yes ???
Do you want to know what hapened later? Buy or borrow this book! It's fantastic

La Isla Del Tesoro

I´m going to recommend a book called "La Isla Del Tesoro".It is a very famous book, writed by a scottish called Robert Louis Stevenson. He also writed very good books such as "La Flecha Negra" and "Los Mares Del Sur".

The book is set in the XVII in England. The young Jim Hawkins finds a map in a chest that belonged to an old dead pirate. Then, with the help of some friends, they discovered that the map shows the buried treasure of the famous Captain Flint. They float a ship and travelled to the Skeleton Island, but one of the sailors knows something else about Captain Flint...

This book is a book that, in my opinion, should be compulsory to read. It is especially appropiated for young persons, but anyone can enjoy it. A book really amusing for people that like adventure books
