Story Time

The Blue Cross

The story takes place in London, Great Britain, in the 1910s.   
The main characters are the detective Valentin, Flambeau and the priest Brown.
Flambeau was the biggest criminal in those days. He was a very tall man.
Valentin was the chief of the Paris police, and he was chasing after Flambeau.
We liked them.
Valentin was our favorite character because he fought for justice.    
We really liked the story because it was very interesting.
The story is about Valentin, who is chasing after Flambeau, that is looking for a cross with blue stones.
Priest Brown left the trails for him to find and catch. Eventually, Valentin caught Flambeau.    
We liked the book very much because it had many interesting parts we needed to figure out. Our favorite part was when the priest revealed he switched the parcels and that Flambeau didn't have the cross. It was funny when Valentin was arguing with his colleagues.
The book is for everyone.

Too old to rock and roll   

The story takes place in Greg's house.   
The main characters are Greg, Valerie and Steve.
Greg is a young boy that plays in a band. Valerie was a 40-year-old woman, a friend of Steve.
Steve was the same age as Valerie, who lost his wife due to a car accident.
Our favorite character was Valerie because she was a nice woman who helped Greg's father feel alive again.   
The story is about a man called Steve who lost his wife in an accident, and his child Greg who tries to make him feel alive again along with his friend Valerie.
The book was short but interesting and the ending was both a happy and a sad one.
We liked the book and our favorite part was when Greg went on his band practice, and as he got back home he saw his dad and Valerie having a nice time speaking together in a romantic scene.
If we could make anything, we would make Steve be more than friends with Valerie, since she is like a mother to Greg.

As the Inspector Said

The story takes place at Robert's house and in the middle of the night.   
The main characters are Robert, his wife Sonia and her lover Charles.
Robert is nearly twice as old as Sonia. He is an old boring man who cares only about his books and silver.
Sonia and Charles are bad people because they want to kill Robert and to take his silver. I didn't really like them. They made me feel maybe it will sound stupid, but like a good person because I would never do what Sonia and Charles did.
The story is about Robert's wife Sonia and her lover Charles who want to steal Robert's silver that he bought.
It happened that someone broke into Robert's house while he was sleeping and his wife Sonia woke him up and told him that she heard strange voices and that the burglar was in the house. Then he took his gun and went downstairs. Sonia heard gun shots and thought Robert was dead, but he wasn't. He came into the room and when she said to him that she thought he was murdered and asked him what had happened, he said the burglar got away and that it was Charles that was murdered.
It was really fun to read, but I didn't like the ending because someone died.   
I liked the book and my favourite part was the beginning because I got to know the characters, what they are like and what they want to do.
I would change the ending because Charles died even if he was a bad person. There were maybe a little scary bits when the burglar broke into the house.
I learned that karma is a real thing. ha ha ha...
Everybody should read this book.
