Measle

Here is a book I read awhile ago, it is called Measle and the Wrathmonk by Ian Ogilivy.

In the book a boy called Measle Stubbs is living with a dreadful man in a horrible house. The dreadful man is his legal guardian, Basil Tramplebone. Measle never dares to go into "his bedroom" because it totally creeps him out. In fact, he only dares to go into three rooms of the house: the attic, the kitchen and the bathroom. The attic is his favorite because it holds a huge model train set. Of course he is never allowed to play with it as it is Basil's but Measle likes it all the same because it is oddly realistic.

One day he finds a way to sneak up and play with it but things don't go as planned...

I like this book because it is strange and interesting. In my opinion the story is very well written. I hope you end up reading it!

Post Five (I think)

I know I haven't blogged in awhile but here is a post because I have been reading!
This book, The Fabulous Fantoras by Adele Geras is the first in a series of two (or more). It is about a family and it is narrated by a cat. Not an ordinary family nor an ordinary cat but a special cat whose name is Ozymandias (aka Ozzy).

Each member of the family has special powers such as the power of flight, invisibility or animation. In the story they use their powers to fix incidents that have happened to other people (sometimes themselves).

In one chapter one of the kids, Bianca, takes a class trip to a museum and makes trouble!


I liked this book because it was very odd and it was funny because of how a cat narrates it. Even if you think this blog entry sucks I hope you still read the book anyway!
