Chinese Cinderella

This book is called Chinese Cinderella The secret of the unwanted daughter .It is a very long title so l thought l would abbreviate as Chinese Cinderella.

The auther is Adeline Yen Mah. Adeline is her English name and Yen is her Chinese name. Finally Mah is her family surname. This ia an autobiography.

Sorry for that long introduction to this book review and l am also sorry that l have not posted in a while. Also this is the mystery post l was talking about in the last post/Book review. Go check it out!

This book is about a child being neglected (we will go back to why she was neglected) but when she was not being neglected she was being bullied by her siblings. Now the reason she (Adeline Yen Mah) was getting neglected is because she is the reason (kind of) for her mother's death. Her mothers death happened soon after she was born so everyone took her as the blame. Sad right? Well one year after that her father remarried, to someone who was not very nice to her step-children. To make matters worse her step-mother had her own children and of course no one said it it was clear that her children were better than her step-children. If you disobeyed there was an extremely harsh (well very harsh like on a scale on one to ten it was probaly a nine, as ten being the worst it was a pretty bad punishment).

Some of it is written in Chinese, so if you can not read it there is a section where it translates it for you.

                                                  ⬇WARNING⬇
The adult version of Chinese Cinderella is called Falling leaves. So if you are 12 and under read Chinese Cinderella and if you are  13+ read either one (or both)!

This book makes me sad because of how they treat Adeline and others, it is just really unfair! Everyone has the right to be treated well and with respect.

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars ⛦ because of how every thing happened and l just really enjoyed this book :) And on a (good) side note you also learn about the history of China and how it became what it is now! For example you learn when there was a Communist war and the Japanese soldiers invaded, her family had to keep moving.

Hope you enjoyed it! Love-bookworm blog 💕

The Diary of Anne Frank

I am not reviewing the Baby-sitters club today- may resume this in a few days time! Let's get started with another review on Bookworm blog!

l recommend the children's version of The Diary of Anne Frank if you are under 12 years old! If you are 13+ feel free to read either version. If you are wondering what l mean by 'version' is because there is Anne Frank's 'real' Diary that l think has swearing in it. If you want to read Anne Frank's diary with less violence in it l recommend this book to you! I read the children's version. l thought in case you are younger the older version will be a bit too much. So l just had to put the DISCLAIMER out there for safety reasons.

Okay now to the actual review on The Diary of Anne Frank! The author is actually her, Anne Frank.

The Diary of Anne Frank is about the Nazis, World War 2 and Adolf Hitler. Anne's family have to go into hiding, so the Nazis will not take them. So the Nazis take some type of people (Sorry l forgot what type, read the book to find out!). The hiding place is named the ......... Secret Annexe. Her Diary is over a period of two years. And a lot of things happened even a little break in!

You also might find this book titled The Diary of a young girl. In case you can not find the kids version.

This book makes me feel lucky and grateful because we have a lot of things Anne did not have! But at the same time it makes me feel .... sad because it is just quite sad. But it is not a tear book like you do not cry while you read it, well not for me anyway. It is sad because the Nazis find Anne in the Secret Annexe and take her to a concentration camp where she dies.

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars ⛦ because it is a really touching story and it teaches you a lesson to be grateful for what you have. I just really LOVE this book!

Question of this blog post is ... Have you read this book before? Just joking it isn't the real question is .... Do you know why in Annexe (Secret Annexe) there is the name Anne in it?

Hope to see you soon on Bookworm blog! I will have another Baby-sitters club coming up in a few days so stay tuned! And sorry this is quite a long book review. Love-bookworm blog 💕! (And sorry if emojies don't come up for you)

I am Malala

Hi! Today l'm doing yet another biography, about Malala Yousafzai, because she was in Rebel Girls 2017. 

The story is about her (Malala Yousafzai) getting shot by the Taliban as well as before the Taliban and in the hospital. Malala explains the scenes very well, about what was happening so, you could picture it in your mind.

Malala Yousafzai is someone who wants to help people even if she doesn't know them. She has an organisation for people who aren't educated. She is from Pakistan and the women there were banned from going to school (they were  banned by the Taliban). So if you could donate to Malala's organisation someone could be educated!

Malala is the youngest person ever to win a noble peace prize!Malala got the noble prize because she fought for womens rights and also fought for peace in Pakistan. 

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars ⛦ because Malala fought hard for other peoples rights.

I hope you enjoyed! Love-bookworm blog
