19. Review for
JUMANJI
“Jumanji” is an award- winning book
by Chris Van Allsburg.
In this story, two children, Peter and
Judy, discover a strange looking board
game and they soon realize that this
board game is more dangerous then
they thought. “Jumanji” is clearly one
of the most inventive and intense book
that will surely make you read it for a
long time.
I would highly recommend this book
to anyone who loves adventure and
excitement in a children’s book.
