1) Why do Sally and Christopher enjoy reading these authors? Use the Word Box to learn the meaning of the highlighted words.

I was taught to read early and I’m mad about books. My favourite author is Philip Pullman. He is a remarkable contemporary writer. Philip Pullman is a master of many genres. He has written historical fiction, horror stories, fairy tales, and fantasy fiction. Pullman is very imaginative. He uses his vivid imagination to develop fabulous plots. Philip Pullman uses a very rich, inventive language. He creates and explores his own wonderful fantasy worlds. I particularly enjoy His Dark Materials.¹ They are really clever because they are based on scientific ideas. I enjoy reading his historical thrillers which are set in Victorian England and present the adventures of Sally Lockhart, a brave and clever young woman. Philip Pullman’s books have everything: suspense, drama, action, and they are really fun to read. His books are so suspenseful that you can’t stop reading. And the characters are great. I encourage everyone to read his books. I was happy to learn that he was chosen as the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award* winner in 2005.

Sally, 15

My favourite authors are J. K. Rowling, J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis* and many others. I enjoy reading these authors for their interesting views on fantasy and their vivid imagination. They are so creative and descriptive. The first great fantasy worlds were created by Tolkien and Lewis.

J. K. Rowling is a master of suspense and her Harry Potter books contain mystery and adventure. She is an outstanding storyteller. Her stories are thrilling, exciting, suspenseful, descriptive and emotional. They are full of surprises and jokes which make them more exciting every minute. J. K. Rowling chooses wonderful settings for her stories and describes everything so vividly. She created a truthful fantasy world that works in parallel to our own. As well as Harry, we go to school, play sports, make and lose friends.

J. K. Rowling’s books have been published in the USA, Russia, Italy, France, Japan, Germany and in other countries. I would recommend these books to everyone who has a very good imagination.
