They are both fiction stories:20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, by Jules VerneRating: 4.5Captain Nemo takes Professor Aronax on a voyage under the sea and they face terrifying creatureslike 12 krakens and tooth eyed sharks! It is a really good bookHarry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, J. K. RowlingRating: 5I like it because I really like the triwizard tournament. Victor Krum went first, then Fleu Delecour,then Cedric Diggory, then Harry Potter. Harry faces the fiercest dragon but Harry makes it with thefastest win and only got a scratch.Excellent work Luke, we would love to see some more book reviews on our library website.Click the link above then login using your letter/number code printed under the barcode onyour browser card (no password required).
