Hey guys!
Recently we just finished our class novel,'Juggling with Mandarins'. It was a really good book! It's about a boy called Phil who plays football. He doesn't really like it,he just plays it because his dad wants him to. Phil's English teacher set up a challenge for them to juggle three balls and if they could do that they one a prize. Phil wanted to do the competition but he didn't have any juggling balls at home so instead he juggles with mandarins. At that time there was a new sports center being built, everyone calls it the igloo. One day Phil decides to go in there when he isn't meant to. He found the rock climbing walls and he instantly fell in love with rock climbing! He secretly does lessons without his family knowing. One day he enters a rock climbing competition. When the day comes he's very nervous, you'll have to read the book to see how it ends...The part that I could relate to the most is how Phil's brother Nick would always barge into his room without knocking, my sister always does that! Two characters that stood out the most to me were Beattie, Phil's climbing friend, and Phil himself. I really like Beattie because of her personality and she seems so bright and bubbly. I like Phil and my favourite part about him is when he stands up to his dad and tells him that he doesn't actually like football.
There is a sequel to Juggling with Mandarins called Shooting the Moon. I really want to read that book, it sounds good. Since Juggling with Mandarins is such a good book I'm sure that Shooting the Moon will be good as well.
That's all for today's post, bye!
