Characters from ‘Albert and the Magician’.


My favourite Character is Fionnuala. I like fionnuala because she is always pretty. But I don’t like her sometimes because she is mean to Albert. And I loved the end because she got in trouble. But she was still a big sister. She could have helped him once or twice. And in one part she was pretending to be nice to get Albert scared. Fionnuala was very proud about her pretty pink little nose. She used it to say something most of the time. Albert called fionnuala pudgy smarty pants! Fionnuala made Albert scared about the magician. She said
He would take away seven year old boys! BY REBECCA KENNY.



My favourite character is Albert. Albert is my favourite character because he is the one the story is about and because he is funny. The thing I like about Albert is he thinks the magician is going to turn him into a frog but he is turned into a hero! But my favourite bit with Albert is when the magician pulls three coins out of Albert’s ear. I think it is the best part of the book. I hate the bit when fionnuala lies to Albert!

Albert and the Magician!

We read a novel called Albert and the magician .This is about a boy called Albert. Albert is afraid of magicians and one comes to his school!
One day Albert was at school and the head master Mr. Curry (His nickname is the chicken) told the whole school to come to the assembly hall. So they all went into the assembly hall and he told them that a magician was coming to their school soon and they were all to bring in fifty pence. Albert was very confused because he did not know what a magician was!
When Albert got home he asked his big sister Fionnuala what a magician was. She told him that a magician was a man that went around taking 7 year old boys and he brought them to a far away land and if they shouted for their mamas they will not be able to hear them. Otherwise they would turn them into frogs.
Albert was very scared that night because of what Fionnuala said to him. In the morning Albert had eggs. His brother the twins had eggs as well but he threw them on the floor!!! Then he opened the danger press and was about to drink poison. Albert saw but didn’t say anything then mammy turned around and saw and asked Albert why he didn’t say anything. Albert said he would like to give his magician money to the third world. After school Albert’s dad said that they will give him another fifty pence again so he can see the magician because he gave his money to the third world.
When Albert was at school the magician came on his dirt bike. He had lots of boxes and bags. Albert didn’t know that the little man was the magician. The magician asked Albert to take some boxes to the hall. On his way the bag talked to him. Later on the magician told Albert to come on stage. Then he put him in a box and said some magic words. Albert came in the door and everyone jumped to see him! Then the magician called him to do another trick. Albert was not sure if he should go up but he did and the magician gave him five fifty pence pieces! Then the chicken saw Fionnuala sticking out her tongue at Albert and he gave out to her. She had to go to his office after the magician was gone home. Fionnuala was in lots of trouble in the end!
