It’s a bit boring for me and I’ve read a lot of versions but it gets dull when you know what’s next.

I liked in the story about the cat chasing the mouse. I think it would be good for someone else to read because it is easy to read and it is fun.

This was a really long book and so I read it over a couple of days. Because it was long there were no quizzes at the end which made me sad

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book about a very poor boy that becomes rich and becomes the Mayor of London three times. Dick Whittington was my favourite character as he was honest and hardworking. He deserved to be successful. Mrs Curry was my least favourite character as she wasn’t very kind to Dick. I would definitely recommend this book to other children that like a rags to riches story.

Lieutenant Mars Gormenghast 15.07.2021
This was a fiction book, but sort of s true story. My favourite person was the kind man who helped Dick get rich. I would recommend it to Peggy, but she doesn't have it.
