The Witches by Roald Dahl

The main characters were the witches, Luke's grandmother, and Luke. A very interesting thing was that Luke was turned into
a mouse. Other interesting things were that the witches wore ordinary clothes, worked at ordinary jobs, but hated children! I think others will like this book because it's an exciting story and has a lot of adventure.

Share Some Kindness, Bring Some light by Apryl Stott

The main characters are Bear and Coco. In the book, Bear is either getting scared by or getting turned away by other grumpy animals. What also happens is there's a phrase that Coco says, "Share some kindness, bring some light." She tries to give the animals that, but they completely miss the point!

The book was brave and heartwarming because even though Bear was scared, he showed the animals how kind he really was. Then the animals thanked Bear. Read the book to find out the very exciting ending.
