why the whales came by micheal morpurgo, wasn't a very good book. its was not very exciting or interesting at all.
it was about a girl who was not aloud to go to samson island because there was a man who lived there, the birdman who was spoke about all the time being called horrible and it was his fault that people died and was ill but gracie and her friend dainel went to samson island one day and the bird man sent his dog out with a note to give them they both read it and for days and days and days thaey went back more and more to read what the birdman was telling them. he alway just talked about himself and how every one judged him that why he never came out his cave.
gracie and daniel made boats thay alway use to pretend they were ill and then say i am going to get some fresh air out a walk to then go to see what the birdman wrote to them. but one day they got caught because gracie and daniel were alway off school on the same days and alway went for alot of fresh air and gracies dad told her a long story about when he was a boy and his best friend was tooken by the birdman he never saw him again gracie belived her dad and when she told daniel he said he didnt belive one word of it because he belived every thing the birdman told him and after all the birdman wasnt a very bad man after all.

The book I have recently read is called The Sleeping Sword By Michael Morpurgo. The book was illustrated By Michael Foreman.
The book is about a boy who had an accident and now hes blind . He stumbles into an underground tomb conataining a shield and an ancient sword. When he held the sword hes gripped by a centuries old power. It will Change his life
I enoyed this book. My favourite event was when he jumped into the water and hit his head. It's my favourite event because it changed his life, how he does everything. It made him blind. i like bun because he's determined to give thw sword back. Even though hes blind.
I think the book is suitable for teenagers and adults. I would recommend this boot to anyone.
