Tall Story

Tall Story

The book ‘Tall Story’ is about an 8 feet tall boy named Bernardo. Bernardo does not live with his half sister and mum in London, instead he lives in the Philippines. Bernardo’s half-sister Andi wishes to see her brother and she wishes he would love basketball just like her. Finally, Bernardo comes to London and the big day for Andi. Andi would finally see her brother but when she does, she sees a tanned boy that’s eight feet tall. The cause of his strange height is unknown to his family but the secret stays with Bernardo. What will happen to Bernardo?

My favourite character in the story is Bernardo. He is my favourite character in this book because he is kind and shows his brotherly love to Andi. Bernardo likes basketball and he doesn’t care whether people think he is odd because of his height. He never let’s anything drag him down.

I recommend this book to children who like stories based on legends. I also recommend this to children who like books that express the characters emotions and feelings in different chapters.
