Very good

My favourite character is Clare because of how she expresses her story. My favourite part was when Clare met her friends and was lying to them.

07 Aug 2024

Claire meets lots of friends and tells them about her knee

Because she is lying

A little repetitive but enjoyed Claire's imagination, making up stories about how she hurt her knee.

She used her imagination to talk about her bad knee

It is about a girl who meets her friends on her way home and tells her friends heroic stories of how she got a bad knee when actually she had hurt herself on the swing. I would recommend this book.

It is about a girl telling her friends how she hurt her knee. She makes up cool stories about aliens, wolves, snakes, ghosts and giants but when she sees mum, she tells her that she fell off the swing and that’s how she got a bad knee. Mum gives her a plaster and she feels much better.

I liked the woodcutter coming to get the hungry wolf.

I like it a bit but I didn't like when she fell over.

I like this book as she lies to her friends about how she hurt herself. This book is about telling the truth and not to lie.

In this book, I read that Claire was telling stories all the time. When she arrived home she told the truth. I liked the part when the dragon came soaring through the skies and grabbed Claire.I would recommend the book to my friends to read.

4 out of 5 because the story drags on
Favourite part;
When the girl finally tells the truth to her mum on how she actually hurt her knee.
I would recommend it to people who like animals
