The Famous Adventures of Jack
By: Berlie Doherty
Having read the book Jack and the Beanstalk when I was younger, I thought I knew everything there was to know about the adventures little Jack went through. This story begins with young Jill who is told by a storyteller that it's time she met her Jack. When Jill meets Mother Greenwood, strange things begin to happen. Jill gets sucked into her many interesting stories. The only problem with finding Jack, is that there are so many of them. Every single Jack has a different story to tell. These stories captivate Jill and only further her drive for finding 'her' Jack. Each story gets more and more intense. Finally Jill finds herself in the middle of a story. She meets her Jack and several adventures are shared between the two of them. She finds herself wondering many things about the situations she finds herself in. But how long will this last? Why are all these strange events happening? Why has she never heard these stories before? Is this a dream? I guess you'll have to read the story to find out. The only thing this book proved to me is that I truly, honestly, completely don't know Jack!
