For my book report, I’ve chosen The Romance of the Three Kingdoms by Luo Guanzhong. I love historical fiction novels, and this is a classic. It describes a time long ago when three kingdoms fought one another for over 100 years. There are almost 1,000 different characters. My favourite is Zhuge Liang because he’s so clever and he has a plan for everything. The book is full of great stories, and it has helped me to understand many Chinese idioms better.

Have you ever heard of Oliver Twist? It’s a classic social novel from the 1800s by my favourite writer, Charles Dickens. It talks about how poor people lived in London back then.
In the story, Oliver is a boy whose parents have died. He becomes a factory worker, but he’s later forced to steal things. I really like Oliver. He’s always kind to others, even when things are tough. In the end, the bad people are punished, and Oliver has a better life. I love this story, and I’ve already read it twice.
