Diary of a wimpy kid is my favourite book because it is very interesting and makes you want to read more

about the story.Also, my favourite part to the story is when he has to perform on the stage and be a tree, as well as when Rowley and his mum start dancing at the end .The

book is funny and makes you want to read more and it also makes you want to read all of the other books. The book has some pictures to make it look like a real diary and to make it more interesting to the reader. I would recommend this book to children around the

ages of 8-13 it is a brilliant book for children to read, however, also adults could find this book funny and

interesting.

I would recommend this book to a lot of people mostly children and also the films which I've also watched but the books are great to read and enjoy. They’re one of those books that you couldn’t get bored of. It is my

favourite book and I really enjoy reading it.

Jack Stalwart: Secret Agent

I found this book to be very interesting, this is because it is about a young boy who is of a similar age to me and he is a part time spy for the GPF (Global Protection Force). He gets sent to investigate the theft of very valuable paintings at the museum in France. He gets to travel around the world using gadgets like a portable pen map in order to help him solve crimes. He does all of this while in school and keeping it a secret from his mum, dad and two brothers. I also like this book because he gets in to tight situations and always finds a way out which makes it exiting and makes me want to read more.

The Hobbit by J.J.R Tolkien

I have currently started reading the Hobbit which of course I have decided to review due to its 75th anniversary and the new film due to come out this year.

The Hobbit is a book full of adventure, heroism and laughter. The plot of the Hobbit is about Bilbo Baggins who is asked by Gandalf and 13 dwarves to go on a “Treasure hunt” up to take back the treasure of the dwarves from the evil dragon Smaug who resides on the lonely mountain. Their journey will lead them through the misty mountains and Mirkwood and they will come across many people and creatures but they will also make allies during their journey including the giant eagles that hunt in the forest below the

other side of the misty mountains.

While in the deep caverns of the misty mountains he finds a magical ring that is the centrepiece of The Lord of the Rings books and this very ring allows Bilbo to escape his goblin captor’s hands because it allows the wearer to become invisible.

From what I have read so far I thought the Hobbit is an amazing fantasy book with unexpected turns (mostly for the worst) but I cannot say too much of what happens because it will ruin the excitement of reading it but If you are a fan of the fantasy genre then I defiantly suggest this is a must read book.

Twilight is a breathtaking love romance. I chose Twilight because I had saw the movies and I thought it would be a good idea to read the books as well. The most enjoyable part of the book was when Edward and Bella first met, and then Bella's close childhood friend Jacob takes a disliking to Edward. I have rated this book as a five star.By Chloe Evans

Charlie and the Chocolate FactoryCharlie and the chocolate factory is a brilliant book and really appeals to young audiences which makes the book more exciting to young people.This story is a vividly told wild ride with amusing, cartoon-like sketches that will keep them excited and laughing. Various forms of bad behaviour are demonstrated -- but the punishments perfectly fit the crimes. The main character also lives a life of poverty that's portrayed as bleak and depressing, although the love between him and his family makes their day-to-day struggles more bearable.By Michael Graham

Point BlankThis book review is on a book called Point Blank the graphic novel written by Anthony Horowitz. When I read the book I thought that it was an interesting book to read packed with exciting action. I have read another book written by Anthony Horowitz who has inspired me to read because I did not read at all. I will hope to read the whole of the Alex Rider collection. By Ben Edwards

Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows

I loved this book because I am a MASSIVE fan of harry potter. I have read all seven books but this is my favourite because, it has a lot of scenes that are not in the two films.Also I love the way JK Rowling uses lots of description to tell the story and help set the scene for any battles or romances between characters. For example the romance between Ron and Lavender and the battle between Harry and Voldemort.By Sophie Blair

Monster RepublicMonster Republic is a great book with the adrenaline packed moments or the emotional moments.

Monster Republic features a boy who has been in a nuclear industrial explosion. He has set out to find his past and present, but it is not that easy. He must find new powers along the way plus robotic monsters and not to mention human robotics.

All round, Monster Republic is a brilliant book but we need to ask one question before you read this...

HAVE YOU GOT THE GUTS?

The WORRY Website.The book I am writing about is THE WORRY WEBSITE this book is all about children in a school with worries and the teacher Mr. Speed sets up a website instead of having to share it with the class they can just log on and tell him their worries.

Also this book is about Holly because her mum has died her dad is single but Holly has a little sister called Hannah, Hannah is in Reception and her

teacher is called Miss Morgan, every morning Holly’s dad says that he can’t be late for work so he drops them off at school and then goes, but recently he has been taking Hannah to her classroom and saying Hiya to the teacher. Next week Holly’s and Hannah’s dad gets all dressed up and starts going on dates with Miss Morgan. I haven’t read on from that bit. So that is one of the worries Holly is going through.

My book review by Jessica McLaughlin

My book review is on the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer.

The Twilight series is a series of fantasy books all about vampires, werewolves, high

school and romance. These books contain three main characters Bella Swann, Edward Cullen (vampire) and

Jacob Black (werewolf). The three characters are all in a love triangle and the

only way it ends is for bella to make a choice. Which one will she choose…

About the author Stephanie Meyer graduated from Brigham young university with a degree in English literature and now lives with her husband

and three sons in Arizona. Her debut novel Twilight and the sequels New Moon,

Eclipse and Breaking Dawn are international best sellers.

Percy JacksonAnd The Sea Of

MonstersPercy is a half blood - he can see strange monsters like minotaurs and giants. I have Percy Jackson And The Lightning Thief and the Sea of Monster’s - the chapters are really long .By Bailey Wilkinson

I would rate this book :

Stars

Page 18: Book reviews y7 to 9

StormbreakerStormbreaker was a good children’s book because the characters were individual and it had a lot of action e.g chasing, shooting and fighting. In some parts it was a little unrealistic but... its only a book. There were several main characters so it would be a little hard to understand if you missed the beginning. but who would miss the beginning of such a great book? But being a 12 year old boy I think the best part was the giant jellyfish. Deadly but cool. The majority of the people were evil. And only a few good people.

CandyflossFloss(Flora)is a young British girl, is in between her divorced

parents. She lives with her mother, stepdad and baby half-brother, Tiger, and visits her dad who owns a cafe and works on the weekends. When her mother tells her they are moving to Australia for 6 months, Floss is sad. She doesn't want to leave her dad all alone. Floss was a very sweet character. She was also very sensitive to everyone's feelings. She chooses to stay with her dad even though he is not the best at looking after himself much less his daughter.

This story expresses loads of feelings and uses very powerful adjectives!

Toro Toro! This book is brilliant. I haven't read it for a year but I remember it. It’s one of my favourite books. I like the way it’s written from a child's point of view. It’s about a nine year old boy called Antonio who lives in Spain ona farm and one of the cows had a baby bull and he was a fighter bull. He was Antonio's best friend they done everything together and he loved him so much.........

I give this book a five star its great for 10-16 year olds because they would feel for Antonio and understand why he feels that way.

TwilightThis book is one of four books in its saga. It is about an ordinary girl and her family that falls in love with a vampire but doesn’t know it at first. I would definitely recommend this book to people that are into supernatural books. It is the first and is a really enjoyable read. The descriptions of Forks leaves you feeling like you can almost smell the damp air and hear the rain falling on your roof. The story is told from Bella’s point of view, so the reader only ever know what she knows, making Edward and his family a mystery that is slowly unravelled throughout the book. Even by the end of the book I was still interested for more of

the Cullen family back story - hopefully their characters might be developed further in future books. Bella herself is an interesting and realistic character, shy and lacking in confidence.
