                ‘CJ’s Big Project’ by C. J. Watson is a book that revolves around a school going boy named CJ. CJ has scored badly in his science project and hence his teacher has called him to inform him that he needs to resubmit it. If he fails to score good grades in the subject he won’t be allowed to participate/play in the next basketball game.

This is when his coach comes and tells him something which makes him think about his project seriously.

Will he score good grades for his project? Will CJ get to play his next big game? To know more read ‘CJ’s Big Project’.

                The plot is written in such a manner that our young readers will surely be inspired to study hard. I liked how the teacher approaches the topic of CJ not scoring good grades and also giving him an opportunity to work on it again.

                The characters are well developed. I liked CJ’s coach who advices him on not to feel bad and work on his project with full determination. His mother is also supportive to him and tells him to work hard on the project.

                The narration is well done and the language is simple and lucid. The illustrations are done beautifully and they will surely help the readers in visualizing the story and characters.

                The cover page and the title of the book is apt to the story.

                Overall, I must say that this is a book that young readers will surely enjoy a lot and I would recommend it.

Rating: 5/5
