BOOK REVIEW -The finest in the Land-

This time, I read the book. The book’s name is “The Finest in the Land.” The cover is designed the man and six children.

Anneena came round to play with Biff and Chip. Wilf and Wilma came too, and so did Nadim. “I’m six next week,” Kipper told them. “Do you want to come to my birthday?” “Six? You’re catching up with me,” said Wilma. Mum took Kipper to the shops. When he had gone, Wilma had an idea. “Let’s form a band. Then we can play happy birthday to Kipper.” Kipper’s birthday is next week. So they decided practice the birthday song. Biff liked the idea of forming a band. The boys were not so sure. “We can’t play instruments,” said Wilf. “You and Chip can play the kazoo,” said Bilf. “Nadim can play the tambourine.” “And we can all sing,” said Anneena. I thought this is small band team!! When they were practicing the song, suddenly the magic key began to glow. The magic took the children on another adventure. “Help!” called Anneena. “We still have our instruments.” “I hope my guitar doesn’t get broken,” said Wilma.

The magic took the children back in time. It took them to the Middle Ages. “Who are those people?” asked Nadim. “Why are they doing tricks?” “They must be entertainers,” said Anneena. “I think they are pracitising.” They are talked with some entertainers. And a man made everyone go to the castle. The children ran behind. In the castle, there is a man standing. The name of the man is Duke. The Duke was waiting with his wife and daughter. They looked at the entertainers. The entertainers gave a low bow. The Duke’s daughter looked surprised. “We’d better bow as well,” whispered Wilf. “It’s not every day we meet a duke.” The Duke peered at the children. “The musicians are very young,” he said. “They are the finest in the land,” said John. “They had better be good,” said the Duke. “I am very fond of music.” “They have made up a song for you,” said John.

The entertainers went to practice. They were still not very good. But while they repeated an exercise every day, they became gradually good. And it is finally a day of happy birthday party. In home, Kipper came in. “What have you all been doing?” he asked. “Just messing about,” said Biff. It was Kipper’s sixth birthday. The band played Happy Birthday. “That was brilliant,” said Kipper. “I didn’t know you were such good musicians.” “Of course we are,” said Wilma. “We’re the finest in the land.”
It was really interesting story.
