Hi! I hope you enjoy this book review on Boy Overboard!
Author- Morris Gleitzman
Genre -Fiction
Theme- Have faith in yourself l will explain why later in the post
Target audience- 10+ will explain why later in the post
I chose have faith in yourself as the theme because in Boy Overboard they got in the wrong ship to their parents and they could not trust many people at all. Read on to find out what happens next!
I chose 10+ for the target audience because the event that happens in Boy Overboard is pretty hard to understand. Also because there are words that are hard to understand.
Boy Overboard is about Jamal and Bibi (the main characters ) first living in Afghanistan. Afghanistan's government is extremely strict about a lot of things like illegal schools, girls outside of there house without a parent and anyone playing soccer. Their Dad drives a taxi with petrol not for taxis (but it works anyway) and the government blows up there house and have to go somewhere else and set off to Australia. While trying to get to there ship they miss there ship and have on a different ship. On board ship they have to be careful about who they trust.
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars ⛦ because sometimes it got a little bit boring at times and Moris Gleitzman (the author) describe the scene that well. Another reason is that l think that we did not get to know the characters (Jamal and BiBi) that well in the books.
The question of the blog is where would you travel and why? I chose this question because they (Jamal and BiBi) started in Afghanistan and (tried) to end up in Australia. I would go to Milan in Italy because they have really nice food and fashion. If you are really into fashion too go check out my review on The Polka Dot Shop.
About the author Moris Gleitzman is and Australian author who has written a lot of other books including Girl Underground (which l will also probably review because it goes with Boy Overboard), the Once series and so many more. He has also collaborated with Paul Jennings.
I hope you enjoyed this book review on Boy Overboard. Love-bookworm blog 😙.
P.S sorry l have not posted in almost two months. I will try and post two times a week again.
