Book review: The Beast of the Buckingham Palace by David Walliams

Image
 So, I bought this book, like, 2 months ago, and I was super hyped because it would be the first book that I got in nearly 8 months (except for study textbooks 🙄 ) and also that these 2 books that I ordered were FAT. If you're curious, then the other book was "The Girl who drank the Moon" by Kelly Barnhill (on which I will be giving a review soon!). The book was all covered red and gold and looking handsome and the plotline was also good, and I began reading this book in the sunlight of a lazy Sunday morning.  You should know the fact that even if it's nearly a 400-page David Walliams book, it doesn't take long to finish because there isn't a lot of text on each page.

Romanov dolls were special dolls that were made in Russia only, it was a craft that Russian doll makers would do and was done in recent times also (in the book). But there was one doll which was made ma...

 A book series of 4 books are the best mystery books I’ve read. The Puzzled Book Series by P.j Nicolas is a middle school book series where Peter and his friends solve and make very tricky puzzles and challenges to save the world. At the beginning of the series Peter is approached by an old man, and that man has a job for him.  Peter is extremely clever with an awesome sense of mathematics. And it's his skill of puzzle solving and maths that he is dragged into this matter. After the old man is done talking to peter, he tells him to form a team of 3 more kids. He is told that there are supernatural creatures known as weather gods which control the weather of an appointed planet. A god named Zoltan was earth's weather god. so old man told peter that Zoltan had asked the old man to create puzzles for Zoltan to be entertained. If not, he would cause mayhem on earth, for he can control the weather.  But now the man was too old to make more puzzles, so he asks peter to make...
