Comments: I believe all of you have read this exciting, action-packed and heartwarming book before and you know all of the things that happened in the book and you all have your own achievements from this book. But what I have learned from this book is: “No matter what you are trying to do, as long as it is good, and you do your absolute best on it, regardless of how difficult it is, you will always achieve it.” Take Dorothy as an example, she has the determination of going home, so no matter what she is facing, not even the wicked witch of the west, can stop her from going back home to Aunt Em and Uncle Henry; and eventually, she finally reached home as a happy ending. Furthermore, she also learned a lot about friendship on her trip to the beautiful Land of Oz.

This book is sincerely recommended to you by Adam Chiang, hope you will like it.
