Oliver+Twist

Oliver Twist Written by: Charles Dickens (Retold by Pauline Francis) Reviewed by: Obama 11

This book is about a boy who is poor and orphaned. He works in a factory and one day he flees to London and one boy called Dodger takes him to Fagin. He gives him something to eat and one day they stole from a person who is called Mr. Brownlow. He takes care of him and Fagin gets him again and a few days after he must break into a house. The characters are Oliver Twist, Fagin, Mr. Brownlow, Bill Sikes, Mrs.Bedwin and Nancy. It’s set in about 1800.

I like the book because the boy was first so poor and then he was very rich. I also like Nancy, because she was so kind to Oliver. In the end Fagin helped Oliver.

I will recommend to the age 8-12, because there are some hard words.
