Summary

The protagonist of this book is Greg Hefley, who just finished his summer vacation and entered high school. There he faces various difficulties and problems, which he solves with the help of friends and family. Of course, this book also refers to his family and the things that happen to her. Little by little, time passes along with the school year and everything has a happy ending after every adventure of Greg's daily life. The best part is that there is continuity…!

In my opinion it's an excellent book. Pleasant to read, easily understandable and especially with a lot of humor. Images and letters dominate and make a novel with comics. Of course, messages about friendship and family are not omitted. It is a book for everyone, young and old.

Sketches: Jean-Jacques Sanpe

Summary

Little Nikolas is a child who goes to school. With some of his classmates – Alsest, Mexan, Joachim, Zafroys, Rufus and Anian – they are constantly mischievous and are therefore constantly punished either by their teachers at school or by their parents at home.

THE AWFUL BALADORES 1

LEON the Dribbler

Author: Jokim Masek

The book I read is the first of the lean ballads. He refers to the football team of some friends (León challenges another good team the Invincibles in a match). The prize would be a stadium. But things are very difficult for the elusive, because they are not very good, they are amateur players and they do not have much time for training sessions. But the miracle happened and while Raban, who had missed three chances, finally scored the winning goal. The Elusives won and took the field.

I recommend it to those who like football, because it is a very nice story
