Montmorency by Eleanor Updale

Montmorency is quite an exciting book. It is about a man who is a thief and he goes into a place one night aiming to steal but then he gets caught and he falls threw the roof .The doctor manages to fix Montmorency again and then Montmorency goes to jail.


He is a very lucky prisoner because every day he gets to go out with the doctor so then the doctor can show off what he has done. Once Montmorency gets out of jail he starts to steal again but only this time he is two people: Scarper and Montmerency .


When he is Montmorency,he is a gentleman but when he is Scarper, he is a thief. He is Scarper at nighttime, and steals to live as a gentleman during the day. He lives in a luxury hotel but nobody knows what Scarper is up to .


I recommend this book to people that are into adventures because you really don't know what will happen next.

Nootka

Nootka


Nootka is an exciting book. It starts of with the main character John Jewitt telling us about himself and about the ship he is in. One day the boat they’re on, the Boston, visits an Indian tribe. The captain wants no trouble with the Indians because there were reports of sailors shooting the Indians. So the crew are all nice to the Indians but when the crew is caught off guard the Indians strike, killing all but two.


The story goes on with them building trust with the Indians and starting friendships. Will they escape?


I recommend this book to someone who likes an adventure and an escape story.
