I just read The Jungle Book and it was not what I expected. The Disney movie is only a small portion of it. A lot of people read Anne of Green Gables this month and I don’t think any of them had anything bad to say.
Anne. I would love to find a copy of the series. I didn’t think to read jungle book
Also have chronicals of narnia to read too
What about watership down? What is that even about lol
I heard that’s very dark but I haven’t read it
It’s about a warren of rabbits who have to move because their home is about to be bulldozed over. One of the rabbits has visions. It’s a great book and I read it at 12 and loved it, but it is dark in places and violent in places.
I’ve placed it on hold for audio book
@Amanda I’m planning on rereading it this year, maybe even in May.
I had to read it my freshman year in high school, we always referred to it as the bloody bunny book. Honestly, that’s the only think I remember about it though.
Yeah, heard it was gorry when the movie was out and people didn’t know lol
Try “A little princess”
