“The Adventure of the Copper Beeches” Review

“The Adventure of the Copper Beeches” tells the story of a young woman, Miss Violet Hunter, who seeks Sherlock Holmes advice on taking a position as a governess for a man who turns out to be trying to use her as a stand-in for his daughter. It was interesting to read another detective story related to Sherlock Holmes and Dr.Watson.”The adventure of copper beeches” is a lot different from “The Bruce Partington Plans”. It had both drama and action My favorite character is Violet Hunter because she is clever ,strong and sensible. I also liked the plot of the book and I felt like I was solving mystery with Sherlock, Dr.Watson and Violet. And If you like detective stories I recommend reading the book and watching the movie.

Camera on a bird

Scientists mounted a camera on a falcon’s back to study the physics of flight while the birds are hunting.

The videos revealed that the birds use a kind of “motion camouflaging”, as they zigzag, trying to catch their next dinner. The predators also use their wide field of vision to keep their eyes firmly fixed on their prey while they move in the air.

Difficult words: mounted (fixed), camouflaging(hiding), predator (an animal which hunts other animals), prey (an animal which is killed and eaten by another animal).

Sherlock Holmes-The Bruce Partington Plans

The name of this book is The Bruce Partington Plans. The book was about Sherlock Holmes and Dr.Watson trying to solve a really hard case because they only had one clue. The book was so interesting because it felt like solving case with Sherlock and Watson. Before reading the ending I had predictions who was the murderer but it had really unexpected ending. also have to mention that this book was beautifully written too.
