  3. The Paul Street Boys

  by Ferenc Molnár

   

  The novel is about schoolboys in Józsefváros neighbourhood of Budapest and set in 1889. The Paul Street Boys spend their free time at the grund, an empty lot. The story has two main protagonists, János Boka (the honourable leader of the Paul Street Boys) and Ernő Nemecsek (the smallest member of the group).
  When the “Redshirts”—another gang of boys, led by Feri Áts, who gather at the nearby botanical gardens—attempt to take over the grund, the Paul Street Boys are forced to defend themselves in military fashion.
  Although the Paul Street Boys win the war, and little Nemecsek repeatedly demonstrates that his bravery and loyalty surpasses his size, the book ends in tragedy.

  Ferenc Molnár
  Writer and journalist, was born on 12 January 1878 in Budapest. His most important novel is The Paul Street Boys (1907) but he wrote plays too and also worked as a journalist. He died at the age of 74 in New York, USA. He studied in Budapest and meanwhile he wrote articles to Pesti Hírlap newspaper. During World War I he worked as a war correspondent. His biggest success as a playwright was the play entitled Lily. He also translated literary works from foreign languages.

  It is the story of a girl called Nikki Maxwell who changed school and has to put up with the teasing of his classmates and arrogance of Mackenzie Hollister. Of course meanwhile she finds true friends.
  I recommend this book to those who like happy endings.

  6. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

  by J. K. Rowling

  It is a very interesting book about a boy-wizard who studies at Roxfort and has got two best friends Ron and Hermione and one enemy Black. The three of them get into a lot of adventures and in the last one Ron gets hurt. He breaks his leg. Finally they discover that Black is no tevil, that Ron’s rat betrayed Harry’s parents and professor Lupin is a warewolf but in the end all turns out to be a happy ending.
  I recommend this book to those who like excitement.

  Joanne “Jo” Rowling, ( born 31 July 1965), pen names J. K. Rowling and Robert Galbraith, is a British novelist, best known as the author of the Harry Potter fantasy series. The Potter books have gained world-wide attention, won multiple awards, and sold more than 400 million copies. They have become the best-selling book series in history, and been the basis for a series of films. Rowling had overall approval on the scripts and maintained creative control by serving as a producer on thefinal installment.
  Born in Yate, Gloucestershire, Rowling was working as a researcher and bilingual secretary for Amnesty International when she conceived the idea for the Harry Potter series on a delayed train from Manchester to London in 1990. The seven-year period that followed saw the death of her mother, divorce from her first husband and poverty until Rowling finished the first novel in the series, Harry Potter and thePhilosopher’s Stone (1997). Rowling subsequently published 6 sequels—the last, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows2007)—as well as 3 supplements to the series. Since then, Rowling has parted with her agency and resumed writing for adult readership, using the pseudonym Robert Galbraith.

   

  7. Harry Potter

  by J. K. Rowling

  I recommend this novel to those who like books about wizards and stories about witches. This series of 7 books is not only about these but it is also about courage, daring, love and friendship, hatred and parental love. One can easily follow how characters develope. These books are perfect for children and adults as well.

  9. The Fellowship of the Ring

  by J.R.R. Tolkien

  For those who like stories about fights in distant times and places and those who like myths. The story is about a ring that gives its owner the ultimate power and its carrier and his strange friends who want to destroy the ring so that it could not be taken by the evil Sauron. I recommend this book to children and adults as well.

  John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, (3 January 1892 – 2 September 1973) was an English writer, poet, philologist, and university professor, best known as the author of the classic high fantasy works: The Hobbit, The Lord of theRings and The Silmarillion.

In the same year Oxford University conferred up on him an honorary Doctorate of Letters.

   

  10. W.I.T.C.H.

  

   

   

  I recommend this book to those who like stories about wizards and fairies. The book presents a beautiful friendship, how much, two good friends, can help each other. Beside this it is about parental love and strictness, the difficulties at school and of course it is also about how unfair is to have a brother. It contains adventure, magic and love. This was actually published in a series.
