Book review2-03 "The broken Roof"

I read “The Broken Roof”. The children were outside on the field at school as it was games time. There were many rubbish there. Ms May saw something in the junk. It was a mangle that gets the water out of wet clothes. The children didn’t know how to use it. So Ms May took the mangle into the classroom and showed the children how it worked. First she got a big sheet and made it wet. And the children turned the handle and put the sheet through. The water ran out of the sheet and went into a bucket. We didn’t use mangles to get clothes dry, but people dried clothes with it a long time ago. Ms May asked the children if they had any old things at home. Biff and Chip got home and looked at the little house. The house and dolls looked very old. Biff and Chip decided to take them to school. Kipper didn’t want to take the little house to school because it was magic house!! Some of the children took old things to school. Ms May and all the children liked the little house. Biff and Chip didn’t say that the house was magic. Wilf fall books on the little house and one of the books made a hole in the roof. Wilf was very upset when he saw that the roof was broken. He said that he could get his dad to mend it. Kipper was cross when he saw that it was broken. He had the magic key in his hand and the key began to glow. The magic took the children back in time. It took them to their house a long time ago. The house looked new but the roof was broken. There were three children playing outside and two man were mending the roof. The house looked like their little house. The children saw Biff, Chip and Kipper and ran up to them. They were Victoria, Edward and Will. Kipper looked up the men on the roof. The roof was broken when Edward woke up. A lady came out and called to the children as it was time for tea. Everyone went inside and had tea. The broken roof was in Edward's room. And it mended yet. Then the children went into Victoria's room. She took the children into the little room. She showed them a little house that her father was making for her. That house looked like her real house. Chip gave his watch to Edward, and Edward gave a boat to Chip. Chip waanted to take the boat to school to show Ms May. Suddenly the magic key began to glow. It was time to go. But the children didn't want to go home. They had a good time. The magic took the children home. The broken roof has been mended. Maybe their dad mended it. But the workmen in the adventure would do it. The children liked that adventure best of all. They also liked those children long ago. So they wanted to go back and see them again. This story was interesting. I seemed strange that the roof of a little house was mended when the children went home from the adventure. 540
