I read this book becasue Roald Dahl is one of my favorite authors of all time. And after reading some of his other books, such as Matilda or The Twits I was really excited to read this book. Of course I would recommend reading Charlie and the Great Glass Elavator after you finish but, we aren't here to talk about that book, we are here to talk about this book. Anyway, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a very great book and if you want to know more.....read the book! :) ~ Baylee :) ]]> Tue, 24 Jan 2012 04:21:31 -0600 18608-1105 http://www.abookandahug.com/fiction-2/18608-charlie-and-the-chocolate-factory Charlie and the chocolate factory is a very good book and I recommend it to anyone that enjoys reading about; fantasy; mystery; excitement; and 'awesome-ness'. :) I really enjoyed this book because Roald Dahl is one of my favorite authors and reading some of his other books such as Matilda and The Twits, made me really interested in reading this book.

It wasn't a book that kept me on the edge of my seat-it wasn't a page turner. I am into suspense so this book wasn't really good for me, but I am glad I read it. ]]> Wed, 11 Jan 2012 17:03:16 -0600 15861-335 http://www.abookandahug.com/fiction-2/15861-far-flung-adventures-hugo-pepper Hugo Pepper is a book I strongly recommend!

The aunts in the story are very scary people, but at least he doesn't have to be with them very long. High seas adventure with wise insects. The young hero is a boy - great for boy readers when so much of the literature for that age has girl protagonists. ]]> Fri, 28 Oct 2011 03:29:28 -0500 18101-87 http://www.abookandahug.com/fiction-2/18101-the-bfg This is a great read-aloud book, but nobody reads it better than the late Natasia Richardson. Her audiobook rendition is worth every penny and gives the book another life. My kids have listened to it more than I can count, and now my son has chosen to read it to himself. funny and just the right amount of suspense and thrill for young ears. ]]> Fri, 28 Oct 2011 03:21:54 -0500 17102-76 http://www.abookandahug.com/fiction-2/17102-when-you-reach-me This book is full of mystery excitement and it's a fun book to read!
