TALES OF BEEDLE THE BARD

 TALES OF BEEDLE THE BARD by J.K. Rowling


This book has 5 Tales: The wizard and the Hopping Pot, The Fountain of Fair Fortune, Babbitty Rabbity and her Cackling Stump[ this was my favourite], The Warlock's Hairy Heart, and at last the most famous The Tale of the Three Brothers.

It was actually written by Beedle the Bard [guy with a long beard] he gives insights on what will happen if we misuse magic or trying to gain magical power by being a muggle. Dumbledore`s notes explain it even more. His notes give real-life experiences. These tales have hidden morals inside them. This whole book was translated from ancient runes to English by Hermione granger.

These are just a solid set of bonus stories that remind you how fun Harry Potter books were.

WONDER

 WONDER by R.J. Palacio

   " You can`t blend in when you were born to stand out " 

This is book was given to me by my aunt and as soon as I read the first pages I realized this is book is the same as my taste

It is about a boy called August Pullman, who due to some genetic disorders has a different face. His parents don`t want him to feel bad about it so they are quite over-protective of him. At the age of 11, they enrol him in Beecher Prep. Auggie wants people to treat him like any other ordinary child, but people take a lot of time to adjust to his extraordinary face. The book begins from Auggie’s point of view but soon switches to his classmates, sister, her boyfriend, and others. These perspectives converge in a portrait of one community’s struggle with empathy and acceptance.

It changed my mind on Bravery and Acceptance. Auggie is really an icon.

This book is great for all ages. Overall it is WONDERfull😁

HALF THE FIELD IS MINE

 HALF THE FIELD IS MINE by Swati Sengupta

" Each time a woman stands up for herself, she stands up for all women "

I found this book in a children`s newspaper and I tortured my mum to buy me this book and it didn't go to waste.

First of all, I would like to say this book is amazing and has an interesting plot.

 It focuses on class difference, gender, and how these words are insignificant. I really liked the way the book alternates between Champa and Oli's perspectives. This book is about mystery, crime, friendship, and fighting for women's rights. It completely changes your view about women. It also highlights how Oli and Champa are best friends despite their class differences.

I enjoyed this book thoroughly and I am sure it will steal your heart too.
