Hey people.
I have to make a blog about the book that we have just read in English so here it is.
Juggling Mandarines was a good book for me because it was interesting and short. I couldn’t put it down. It was a bit predictable but I still liked it.
The book was about a boy named Phil, though everyone called him Pip. He plays soccer. His dad is one of those people who like to push their kids into things that they don’t want to do. Every soccer match he is on the sidelines yelling at Phil telling him what to do and pointing out every mistake he made. This made Phil really hate playing soccer.
A big sporing stadium was being built, and before the grand opening, Phil sneaks in and explores. He comes across a rock climbing wall, and starts to climb in the dim light. He has no harness and he climbs to the top. This is when he finds out how much he is sweating, and he is stuck up there. This was the start to his passion for climbing. He climbs in secret, not letting his dad know a thing.
Pip eventually stands up to his dad, except not in the best way. His dad doesn’t talk to Phil anymore and lets Phils mum take him to soccer. Will Phil keep his climbing a secret? Will he make up with his dad? Only reading the book can tell:)
