Animal Farm by George Orwell

Animal Farm is a book about animals on a farm who decide to take control from the human farmer. They want to make a better and fairer life, where all animals are equal. At first, everything seems good. But soon, the pigs become the leaders, and they start to take more power for themselves.

One pig named Napoleon becomes like a dictator. He uses lies and fear to stay in control. The other animals work hard and believe in the dream, but they are tricked and used.

In the end, the pigs are just like the humans they replaced — cruel and greedy.

The book shows how power can corrupt people. Even good ideas can be destroyed when leaders become selfish. It is also a warning about unfair governments and how people (or animals) can be manipulated.
