Which are the children’s favourite books where they want to change the ending?

A more positive ending

If I could change the ending of one novel, I would like to change from the novel Peter Pan Written by J.M. Barrie. It is all about the boy who never wants to grow up. Peter Pan is a mischievous but innocent little boy who can fly. He has many experiences in the island of Neverland which is inhabited by fairies, mermaids and pirates. I would change the ending of the novel in such a way that his parents would come to him and take him with them.

Alice, a princess

If ever I have to change the ending of any one book, then it would be Alice in Wonderland. In that book at last when Alice meets three people and talks to them, she wakes up from her dream. Instead, I would have written that all her dreams come true and at last after talking to the three fools she moves on and reaches a temple where she drinks a juice and becomes a Princess and rules her own kingdom forever.

The healthy caterpillar

If I were to change the ending of a novel, it would be in the book. The Very Hungry Caterpillar authored by Eric Carle.

In the book, the caterpillar, as it is very hungry, eats from Monday to Friday. It eats six ice-creams before it feels full. Towards the end, the author calls the caterpillar fat.

To promote health and hygiene, I would change the story to say that though the caterpillar ate a lot, but it ensured the extra calories were burnt.

And would end it by saying, after the metamorphosis, there emerged a colourful and wonderful butterfly!

The Alien Skill

It hurts when your loyal pet dies in front of your own eyes. Ben Archer has watched his dog. Tyke, die in the end of book two of the Alien Skill series by Rae Knightly. However, what if Tyke didn’t die? I want to change the ending because Tyke was a great companion to Ben and the closest of friends. While his mother was sick, Tyke kept Ben from becoming lonely. They had been through thick and thin together. It left a big hole in Ben’s heart, losing someone he loved. Tyke had helped Ben to the end. He didn’t deserve to die.

Don’t kill Sirius

If I could change the ending of one of my favourite books, it would be Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

The book starts as Harry begins his fifth year at Hogwarts School of witchcraft and Wizardry along with his best friends Ron and Hermione. Dumbledore, who is everyone’s favourite headmaster, suddenly disappears from the castle and professor Umbridge is appointed as the Headmaster.

After a series of events, Harry senses that Sirius is trapped and goes to Umbridge’s fireplace to try talking with him. Harry is caught in the hands of Umbridge and along with Hermione, he takes Umbridge to the forbidden forest. There, in the end, Lord Voldemort kills Sirius, Harry’s Godfather and Harry is startled.

I want to change the ending to Sirius just getting injured instead of killed as Sirius always supported Harry and was loyal to him. Sirius was an animagus and hence he used to secretly meet up with Harry. Sirius could help Harry in his future encounters with Lord Voldemort.

In the book, I felt that JK Rowling’s ending might have been shocking for all Pottherheads as Sirius was always a part of Harry and treated him as his own son. This is why I want to change the ending of this otherwise interesting book.
