Holly writes the following about the Iron Man :
When i first saw the book I wasn't sure that it would be a story that I liked. Modt of my reading groop agreed with me, but as I read on it became a very beautiful story. It was filled with alot of emotions and alot of extremely funny things as well. This fairy tale is a very different sort than the ones that you would think of like Cinderella and Snow white and the seven dwarfs. But now when ever someone mentions fairy tale that's one of the things that I think of. For our reading group after reading the Iron Man, we were asked to do a assesment task where we had to re-write the book as a fairy tale. Then, we didn't actually know that this book was a fairy tale. Because, as I'm sure you would agree, when someone says fairy tale you think of stories likeCinderella. In my assesment task i added bits of other fairy tales into it. Also, I added bits of other T.V. showes as well. I think my Idea worked because I got an A. if you ever have a assienment like that, why don't you have a go at doing somethig a bit like that. You mught not get an A like I did, you might, but if you don't it might of improved your score at least a bit. Anyway, I think over all it was a grate book and I think you should read it. It may be a small book, but let me tell you, it is a grate book.
