Bridies+Book+Reviews


 * MRS CROWE** : I left my book review top half at school, so I will finish it off on here and then copy the first part on at school(Monday Morning).

Aunt Effie's Ark
I found this book really hard to read, as I had to keep looking back to places to get what was going on. There were so many different children, I really just didn't get what was happening. Maybe this book would have been easier to read, if you read it all at once, because every time I came back to it each night, I had forgotten what had happened. I think this book was pretty cool because it had heaps of things about adventures around New Zealand and I knew where the places were.

My favourite characters would have been the younger children, they were so Adventureous and got into loads of troubling situations but always managed to get out of them.They would have to collect all the milk and eggs in the morning from Aunt Effie's farm while the older children built a barn for the animals. They got into some really funny situations but in the end, it was all fixed and they were all a happy family again.

My least faourite character was Daisy, the oldest one. She seemed really bossy and controlling and I didn't like her. The other children always were told what to do by Daisy but they never listened. Daisy was the only one who would wear school uniform to school.

Overall, I think this book would be better to read if I had have read the whole thing in one night, instead of stopping and starting because I got really lost. The book is really well written and great description, I could really picture what the children were doing and what they all acted like and looked like.
