Mr Skip!
By the way, this book is recommended for ages 7 years and up!
I haven't really read this book so I have not got a book review to go with this but here is the blurb for the book:
Believing in magic makes dreams come true…
Jackie dreams of having a horse of her own, one that’ll be the fastest on the estate, the fastest in all Ireland and the fastest in the world. Mum dreams of a little cottage in the country for her and Jackie to live in. What they get is a garden gnome that Jackie finds in a rubbish skip; one she lovingly repairs and paints; a gnome she calls Mr Skip. And Jackie soon discovers that with Mr Skip, anything is possible.
Another thing about this book is that it is an award-nominated read! Michael Morpurgo is famous because he is a master story-teller. He has written a book that is now a major motion picture in cinemas and is now in Blu-ray and DVD out NOW!! Apparently, people think that the book I was talking about "War Horse" was boring. I don't think it is boring. I've seen the movie and it doesn't really look like its boring. It was a great movie and I say well done to Steven Spielberg who directed this wonderful, heart-warming motion picture! And also, I say well done to the actors and actresses and especially well done to that horse which is the main source of this wonderful movie! Well done to everyone who worked really hard to make this movie.
Other Newz in this blog, Michael Morpurgo has another new book he has created. It is a biography and an autobiography. It is about him and his life. I've never read the book yet but I think it tells the story about he began writing.
This book about him is supposed to be recommended to older teenagers to adults, so it is not really great for younger readers!
Other Newz, his award-winning book "Private Peaceful" is selling tickets to see the actual play at Theatre Royal Haymarket! There is a limit of 16 performances at the Theatre Royal Haymarket at 18-29 September 2012, so get those tickets now if you are desperate to see the performances!
Well, thanks for listening to this latest Newz and Happy Reading!
I Love Bookz
