A Wrinkle in Time Book Report by Wyatt

A Wrinkle in Time By: Madeleine L’enge

Original Cover

The Murry family was like any other family, or at least that’s how it seemed. The youngest, Charles Wallace and the oldest, Meg had special powers that would help them later on. One day, during a Hurricane a woman named Mrs. Whatsit came into the Murry’s home for shelter. She was an old lady, but she moved very quickly. The next day, Charles and Meg went for a walk and met Calvin O’Keeffe, a boy in Meg's class at school, by Mrs. Whatsit’s house and they all went inside.






Then Mrs. Witch, another old lady, tessered them to a planet called Uriel. Tessering is like if you were on a long string, you would bend the string to get to the end of it quicker. While on Uriel, they see the black thing. It is the thing everyone in the universe is fighting (including their dad who disappeared months earlier.) It made everyone feel sad and lonely. Then Mrs. Witch tessered them to Camazotz where they met the man with red eyes who hypnotized Charles Wallace. When Hypnotized, Charles didn’t care about anything except IT. IT is Camazotz's leader.


It is pretty much a giant brain.






Afterwards, they find their dad trapped in a transparent column and take him to a different planet where they meet “Aunt Beast”, a hairy tentacle monster who helps them regain their strength. Finally, Meg goes alone back to Camazotz to save Charles by finding the only thing IT doesn’t have and that is love. Finally, they all get back home safely.       The end! 

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Book Report by Anabel

Much Better than the Movie!

*Spoiler Alert!! Do not read this report if you haven't read the fifth Harry Potter novel!

The book opened with Harry Potter home from school and waiting for Voldemort to start his bad doings now that he was back.  Harry was at Privet Drive with Dudley when dementors attacked him. He almost got expelled from Hogwarts because he used the patronus charm outside of school. Then he got taken to Sirius Black’s house [which is called Grimmauld Place] by Mad eye Moody and other aurors where the Order of the Phoenix was meeting. The Order was the people who were planning to stop Lord Voldemort.

When he went to Hogwarts, they got another new defense against the dark arts teacher. Professor Umbridge was very rude. When Harry talked back to her he got detention. In detention, Umbridge made him write “I must not tell lies” on the paper with a special quill that used Harry’s own blood as ink at the same time the words were carved into the back of his hand. When she became the high inquisitor, she changed rules, fired teachers, and got students in trouble.  Harry made a secret group to learn defense against the dark arts called “Dumbledore’s Army”

Harry started having dreams of what Voldemort was doing and saw that Ron’s dad attacked by a snake, and in real life it happened. Harry had to start taking oculmency lessons with Snape. When Snape had left the room Harry saw one of Snape’s memories. In his memory, Snape was being bullied by Harry’s dad! Snape came in and caught him and said that he was going to stop teaching him.

One night, Harry had a dream that Lord Voldemort was torturing Sirius. So he went to Umbridge’s office to check through the fire if Sirius was at home. When he saw he wasn’t, he got scared. Before he could get out of the fire, Professed Umbridge pulled him out. Hermione tricked Professor Umbridge into taking them into the forest. Some centaurs came and carried her away.

Ron, Ginny, Luna, and Neville met up with Harry and Hermione and they went to the ministry of magic. When they got there, there were death eaters and they where trying to get this prophesy thing. They tried to run away but some of them got hurt. Then the Order showed up to help them and Sirius was with them. Voldemort had tricked him. Dumbledore showed up to fight Voldemort. They won, but Sirius was killed by his evil cousin, Beatrix Lestrange. Then, the Minister of Magic came in and saw Voldemort. Then, everyone believed Harry. Harry was very sad and mad. At the end of the book when they got off the train to return home for the summer, Mad -Eye and the rest of the Order told the Dursleys to be nice to Harry.  He had a very hard year... again.
