But, evil soldiers of Kalerman enters the border of Narnia before they reach…. What will happen to the Archenland?

I think it was pretty good book because unlike other fantasy books, which had only fantasy background with a made-up facts. But, when I was reading this book, I felt that I was reading a history book because, the story was very tense with a climax.

I give 3 point 5 stars out of 5 because, even though the story was very tense, the characteristics of the main character of the story didn’t expressed well as last book of the series. But, I think the students who loves to fantasy book will like it because, it's full of fantasy with centaurs, talking animals and giants.

Memory Power! by Dhaval Bhatia


This is a book which talks about the techniques which is useful in memorizing names, faces, year dates, phone numbers, speeches, and other things. This book even tells us how to figure out which day of the week is just by knowing the date! The author says that the best ways to memorizing things are connecting word to pictures, making up stories out of the words to remember, and repeating the words to remember.


I liked this book because it explains the memorizing techniques very easily and shows us examples to  help the readers understand. Other reasons why I liked the book were that the memorizing techniques really work and it fascinated me.

I recommend this book to people who want to memorize things better because it helps you memorize everything.

The Man in the Iron Mask


I recently finished a book called The Man in the Iron Mask. The author of this book is Alexandre Dumas. Once in Paris, France there was a king who had a twin brother. His name was King Louis IV. Living in that city was a guy called Aramis. Aramis believed that the twin brother of the king should be the actual king. Aramis has to figure out a way to not be recognized but also to switch the two before the king finds out about his plan. This book has a lot of fighting and war.
Aramis figures that the person who should be crowned king is sitting behind a cell. Aramis switched the both of the king and his brother, but then everybody finds out about his plan. Aramis quickly escaped and started walking toward an island where his friend would give him reinforcements. Meanwhile, King Louis IV sends one of his best general (D’Artagnan) to find Aramis. Luckily both the general and Aramis are friends. The book ends with a lot of suspicion and fighting.
When Aramis and Porthos (Aramis’ friend) were in the Grotto Aramis made a heavy decision to make Porthos plant the explosives before he came out. If Porthos had run a little too late he might have died. This was because after he planted the explosives and immediately turned around and ran he still did not manage to get out before the rocks fell on him. I thought that Aramis had made the right decision because they managed to get out.
I think this book is very good and has a lot of story behind it. I like that it keeps the reader at a constant pace.


I recommend this book to people who like friendship and like many stories happening at the same time. I would give this a 4 star rating.

Matilda by Roald Dahl

Matilda is a book which is kind of fantasy and also realistic fiction. Matilda is about a five year old girl called Matilda Wormwood, she lives with her brother and her parents, who don't really care about her, in fact they seem to almost hate her, Matilda loves to read but her parents don't approve, they’d prefer if she was just to watch television. A bit later on in the book Matilda starts school, her teacher, Miss. Honey is soon to find out that she is a Maths and English prodigy but the evil headteacher, Miss. Trunchbull, doesn’t believe her.

I think that this book is good because really fun to read, I think this because it uses interesting words and phrases and also it has some unexpected turns.

I rate this book 4.7 stars because it is very good but It would be better if it were shorter.
