History research: World War II and the persecution of jews

Taking a Halloween break
Hi everyone! The last days have been very packed. My first week of going to my new school in person, getting used to online teaching although sitting in a class room (it does sound strange, doesn’t it???), meeting new class mates and so much more. It was kind of overwhelming and I did not manage to get my head around writing a review. I went through quite some books though and I have a lot to share with you in the next few weeks.
Hope you all enjoyed a nice Halloween with your families. Talk soon!

Review: Time Travelling with a Hamster by Ross Welford
Normally you would think that a time travelling machine was like a really big rocket. But it isn’t. It’s really small. In fact it is a laptop and a tin.

This awesome book is really special to me because a good friend of mine gave it to me. It is his favourite book.
So, what is it all about?

Review: The Boy at the Back of the Class by Onjali Q. Rauf
There used to be a free desk in the class room and then Ahmet came.
He was a very serious, shy and quiet guy but Alexa and her friends Josie, Tom and Michael made him feel welcome.

Review: Max the Detective Cat – The Disappearing Diva by Sarah Todd Taylor
The fluffy, groomed cat Maximilian was used to live in the “most fashionable townhouse in London.” Sitting on a comfortable, red cushion and having only the best of the best food a cat can eat.
I liked the book because it is a book about friendship. Maximilian didn’t give up and although he was sad at the beginning of the story when he lost his home but he was all happy again in the end. What I didn’t like was that Countess Arlington wanted to drown Max. I found that a bit rough and not necessary.
I would recommend the book for kids 8 years and older. It has 196 pages and is not so hard to read. Rating: 8/10
