Unni's Story - Book Review by Nia Muralidharan, 5 D

During summer vacation, I read a wonderful English story book titled “Unni’s Story”. 

This story is written by Vinitha Ramchandani and illustrated by K.R Raji. The ISBN of the book is 978-81- 264-2144-2. The cost of the book is US $ 2.99. This book is published by DC books. 

There are

about 30 pages in this book. The main characters of the story are Unni, Diyamol, Muthashi, Kesavan and Beenama. I liked Diyamol most because she showed love and kindness to Unni an elephant.  Diyamol finds a baby elephant in trouble and takes it to her home. Due to some sort of problems, she tells it to go back. And after many years, she finds it again. I was so happy when they met. I was overjoyed with emotion. 

There are few Malayalam words in this story book like Amma, Muthashi, Pappan, Vaidyan etc. The meanings of those words are shown at the end. This book contains colourful pictures too. Diyamol taught

me the quality of showing kindness towards animals. They too have feelings like us. I’ll definitely recommend this story to my friends. It’s a suitable story for children. I really liked this book.

Goosebumps: Say Cheese And Die - Review by Ameya S Nair, VII D

Goosebumps: Say Cheese And Die

This is one of the best selling books of R L. Stine and one of my favorites. This book is a story of three boys and a girl named Doug also known as Bird, Greg, Michael and Shari respectively. The story is basically about the boys finding a cursed camera. Bad things happen if they ever take a picture with that camera, such as accidents and vanishing. Will they destroy the camera? Or will they keep it?  Well, I am not going to spoil the thrill.

My favorite character is Greg. Cuz he is the sensible guy amongst his friends. And the part which I liked the most is when the police would not believe the kids at a particular moment. Let's end the review stating what I liked most about this book which is that the book was written in simple language and it's interesting. But I really do wish  that the writer could have elaborated the story so that the book will be taken longer time to be read.
