Hey everone i have recently read a book called The Wombat King written by Philip Neilsen and Mark Wilson. The book is about a young boy that is not a normal kid. He enjoys sneaking out of his house at night to go to the near by forest. The reason he does this is because he likes to see the animals active and he believes that the wombats are still in the area, where as his dad and mum tell him that there is no wombats. The young boys name is christopher he leaves not on the fridge each night pretending to be the Wombat King his paents have no idea where the notes are comming from. One night christopher gets caught escaping from the house and his parents put bars on his windows so he cant escapse. His mother says that he should go out in the forest and stay the night in the forest with his dad. they do this and they dont find a wombat. but christopher goes out a night after this and sees the wombat he was very happy.
I liked the book becase it kept you guessing what was going to happen next. and also it wasnt a very long book and i found it very easy to read.
This book could have been better if it had a little bit more of a problem in the book and if it was a little bit more in depth The book was very basic but i think that i could have had a few more events in it to make it more interesting.
I enjoyed reading short storys because for me it felt like i was actually getting through a book which i dont ever really experience. I thought they were better than novels becaue they were much easier to read. I would select another book from this series becasue i enjoyed reading a book that i felt that i could read in the time we had set
