Danny: the champion of the world
I put 4 out of 5 rating because at the end he didn't catch pheasants again and they didn't have anything to eat.

I think this is a really funny book because Brian liked eating fruit and he was a piranha but I do not know where he got the fruit.

"Harry Potter "
I have really enjoyed this book. It has been the best book of the series. It has a dramatic start and I love those types of starts. The ending is a very happy one and I love happy endings. In the book there are a lot a cliff hangers and it makes you want to read more. There are no boring bits.
I rate this a 5 star book.
