'An Urgent Message Of Wowness'
By Karen McCombie
This book is about a perfect family except Heather who never fits in but when their mum and dad split up Heathers perfect little sister turns into a little monster and her brother turns into an indie music band manager and brings a goth girl home to stay and she becomes friends with Heather and her friend Becca. Bexcca fancies Jo-Jo and everything just becomes real crazy for Heather.
I thiught this book was ok as everytime I read it it took me a while to get into it. My favourite bit was the end as it was a really good outcome after a really good build up whilst feelings where always expressed
I think this book is suitable for people who like stories about common things that happen in life. I would recomend this book to people who have faced the similar situation as it might cheer them up.
My book was called ..."And thats when it fell off in my hand". The author of my book is Lousie Rennison. My book was about a girl called Georgia and her Love Life. Georgia and her friend Jas try and get Georgia a boyfriend. Georgia and Jas are best friends and never fall out.
I really enjoyed this book. I thought that it was a suitable book for my age. My favourite characters were Georgia,Jas,Masimo,Georgia's mum and Georgia's dad. I would read more of Louise Rennison's books because I find them interesting. I think that this book is suitable for pupilsup to 2nd year because it is about a middle age teenager and it is also about someone's lovelife. 3rd years I think could possibly like it aswell though but it all depends on what people like to read and what authors they like. I think that Louise Rennisonshould continue writing these kinds of books because she makes thom sound real and she also makes theminteresting.
The general by robert muchamore
The worlds largest ever urban warfare compound stands in the desert near Las Vegas.forty Brittish commandos are being hunted by an entire American battalion.
But thier commander has an ace up his sleeve:he is going to to smuggle in ten cherub agents,and fight the best war game ever.
I really enjoyed the book and thought it was a very good read.My favrite characters were James Adams,Kevin Summer and Yosyp Kazakov i would read it again.
I think the book is suitable for 12-14 year olds because there is a lot of action in it and on the blurb it says that is not suitable for younger readers.I would recomend this book for my friends.
Name of book sophies luky.
This book was a little girl her name is sophie.sophie had a aunt al who lived in scotland sophie was going to see her soon.
I really liked the book becase i like horses and its about a girl and a horse The part i liked the most was where she got her xmas present which was a pony called Lucky.
The book I chose to write about for my blog is "Uncanny" written by Paul Jennings.
In my book each chapter tells a new story with different settings, characters and totally different storylines. One of the chapters is about a flying dog, one is about a remote control that can fast-forward, rewind, pause and replay time and another one is about a mind-swapping wire. Some of the chapters I thouroughly enjoyed!
I think that this book is a really good read for people with wide imaginations. Some of the chapters are quite strange, but finish by being really funny! Ireally liked this book. Some of my favourite characters are Lucus, Gribble and Guts Garvey. Some of the events that I enjoyed reading about was when they found out how the dog could fly and how thre remote control could stop time.
Ithink that this book is suitable for readers between the ages of nine and twelve, but the reader would definately have to have a wide imagination as some of the stories are a little bit far-fetched.
Some other books that I would highily recommend by Paul Jennings are "Undone" and Unreal".
'Beast Quest'
By Adam Blade
This book is about a small boy who is on a quest to stop a evil dragon from destroying cities and towns.The dragon is under a evil spell from a evil wizard.
This book is exciting for people who like adventure books and books about knights and wizards.This book is really good because it builds up the excitement.My favourite character is the small boy Tom because he is the main character and he does some really cool things in the book.
I think this book is suitible for people who are eight and over.I think you must be this age because there is some fantacy villains in it.
This book was really good and I can't wait to read all of the other books about Tom on his quest to stop the evil beasts.
This book was called "the skateboard detectives" and it was written by Andrew Fusek Peters.The book is about 4 teenagers trying to solve a sort of mystery. It involves 3 bad guys,1 innocent and 4 teens trying to help the innocent
My opinion of the book is that it's okay one not so good point is that it jumps between time points e.g. 2 weeks earlier,week later,4 hours earlier.the book is really gripping and also really descriptive
The best character is break he is funny and a sporty boy.
This book is suitable for people that like skateboarding or detective work.The age range I would say is 12-16 (in my opinion)
I really liked this particular book and characters that were in it and also the personalities aswell.The children have different talents from free runners to boarding to computer skills and all of them are fourteen.
"Then He Ate My Boy Entrancers"
Thisbook is about a girl Called Georgia Nicolson and her all her mates the Ace Gang. Georgia is fourteen and HATING it. Her ex-boyfriend has left for America so she persaudes her Mum and Dad to go there for a Car Convention as her Dad is a big fan of cars so Georgia,her Mum, her Dad,her mad little sister Libby and Georgia's best mate Jas go to America. After whittling her wardrobe to only six cases and eight pairs of shoes she is ready to go to America for the week. It all turns out to be a waste of time as they can't find him. But when they get back he has got a gig on with his band the stiff dylans. So Georgia ends up getting him back!
This book is halairiously funny and I recommend it to girls 11-15!
The Dead Hour
By Pete Johnson
The text was abouta boy who was friends with a girl.At night he wasn'nt friends with his room but when it it was light he was friends with his room.I like the book because it is a bit scary and funny and the weather is good and it's terrible .My favorite characters are Richara and louie because they are two people that make me laugh.I think it is suitable for some people that don't scare easily and likes a good laugh .Richard and Lousie team up and vs something big,hairy,ugly and smelly .Richard's gran hides in the cubard when storms com.She made Richard go in to the cubard with her but Richard said he would have been fine but she did not care she just took Richard in with her.I love the book and it is good
Collision
Course
Nigel Hinton
A boy called Ray steals a motorbike next to a pub, dis not have a lisens for it, and he nocked over an old lady and kills her. He tries to keep it a secret.
The book is good I like the way the Author leave the interesting bits to the end. You want it to happen when you get into the book. My favourite charecter was Ian because he helped people out and encouraged them to do more.
People that are into accident scene books because they would get encouraged to read more and get excited to the interesting bits wrote a letter about the accident he knew he was going to get caught but it was a long time till he was caught. His mum and dad new there was something suspicious about him. And he gets caught with police at his door and everything.
Missing by Catherine Macphail
This book was about a girl called Maxine whose brother went missing and that's all her parents really cared for her brother. One day her dad goes to London and identifies him as dead. This is when her mum her mum is really upset until she talks to a fortune teller who gives her a message from Derek. After that Maxine starts to get really strange phone calls from Derek. She is very confused as she thinks he's dead. Maxine then has to get behind this when she plans to meet with him. Was it really Derek?
I thought this book wasreally exciting and kept me on the edge of my seat. It was a book I struggled to put down as there was so much happening.
I think this book is suitable for people who like really scary thrillers. As at some points it got quite freaky with what happens. I would advise people that get scared easily not to read this.
My book is called Tongue-Tied by Paul Jennings.
It is a short story book and i read 6 of them,I have one story in paticular that was my favourite it is called Lennie Light House who has luminous teeth and if you want to find out more read this fantastic book NOW!!!!
My favorite charater is Lennie because he is adventureous and has luminous yellow teeth.
My favourite part is whenLennie finds his mum and she has luminous yellow teeth too.
I would recommend this book to some of my friends because not all of them like short story books.
I liked this story because it is very funny at some parts and it is very adventufeous and has very funny charaters.

"Tiger Eyes"
By Judy Blume.
My book was about a girl called Davey. Davey, Jason (Davey's brother) and their mum move to Los Alamos. In Los Alamos they stay with their Aunt Bisty and their Uncle Walter. Davey meets a boy called Wolf. She becomes really good friends with Wolf. Davey meets a girl called Jane. Davey really enjoys Los Alamos. She stays in Los Alamos for over 1 year. When Davey goes home she is really happy.
My opinion on this book is that I thought it was really exciting and interesting. I really liked this book because it is the kind of book that I would read. My favourite character is Davey because she is a curious character and she never gives awaywhat she is going to do.
I think that this book is suitablefor ages twelve and over because it explains what drinking can do to you and what can damage you. Most of my friends would enjoy this book but it does depend on what sertain people like to read.I think that Judy Blume should keep on writing these sort of books because personally I find them very interesting. Tgis book was very curious and exciting so that is also why she should continue writing these sort of books.
I was reading a book called ... starship rescue My book was about a boy and girl trying to save the outsiders form a life form slavery what i think of the book was it was intereston because the boy marc had to keep his misson secret but my favourit event was the part where marc and the girl sasha had to fight jared the keeper.

By Margaret Ryan

Abby enjoys having her Grandma around but her mum hates it. Abby and her Grandma try and find Abby's mum a boyfried but Abby's mum isn't too happy about the whole idea.
I thought that this book was very interesting and exciting. I found it exciting because Abby's Grandma did some of the mist strangest things and no-one knew what was going to happen.
My favourite character was Abby because she was just a normal teenager who worried about her own problems and that is what I like about teenage characters.
it starts bythey move to a house and they have to redecorate.he callshis step dad step.he tries to tries to smoke but he felt sick.The book is about a monster.The monster has black skin,black hair and red eyes.he bumos into a girl called sly.Sly is the one that smokes and tried to makes him smoke .Theirsa ashop called skinners shop .It dosentsay his name in the chapters.some of my friends would read it cause theirs monsters in it.Theirs a dog with no snout.A dog died and when they went back it had moved.I like the book because it has monsters in itand its like an adventure book.I like the book because it has infomaition on what the animals look like.Read the book to find more information about the book and what he dose to stop the monster
My book was called the Inca Alien Incident written by Terrance Dicks.

"FREDDY AND THE FRENCH FRIES"
This book is about a boy called Freddy. And some of his friends Theodore and lotts more. It's a really good book,I enjoyed it.It's quite funny things they doo and say to people. It's quite a mystery to be honest I will tell you some things buit I don't want to give it away because and then you might not read it. But it's exiting and I hope more people read it and get the funny wonderful feeling that I doo. Freddy was not as good friends with a boy called Sid and their was a science peoject coming up. So Freddy and Sid decided that whoever won it wouldn't have to work at the Crabby shop and the loser would. Freddys dad was brilliant at experiments he made the Invisibleumberella. "It's great!" Freddy and his friends loves it.There are lots of adventures in this book! I would recommend it to about seven year olds and up.Because they are some big words and it's an adventure.It goes upto chapter 23. It's amausing that there are French fries in it too. I'm not saying everything to you about this great book.Read it yourself!

Letters From The Inside
By John Marsden
This is about two girls who put an add in a magazine. When one of the girls, Mandy decides to write to a girl called Tracey. The two girls kept writing to each other as they found it easier to talk to each other about their problems rather than talking to someone face to face but then, Tracey stops writng. After a while she writes back telling Mandy that what she has said before was all lies and that she is actually in prison. Mandy is shocked. But they still continued writing but at one point Tracey is not sure if she wants to countinue writing. Will tracey countinue writing?
I thought this book was ok because the ending wasnt really exciting. There was times where it was good but not many. I think there will be people who will love this book.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes reality shows because there are a lot of ups and downs in this book.
The book I chose to write about for my blog is "Preacher's Boy" by Katherine Paterson.
This book is about a young boy called Robbie - who is the Preachers Boy - who finds out the world is going to end. His one dream is to ride in a motor car, and to ride a train to the end of the world, but before all that he goes fishing with Willie, his best friend, drags his little sister Lettie in a cart at the fourth of July parade, becomes jealous at his arch enimies and goes swimming every day. On one of these trips, his enimies steal his clothes and sinks them to the bottom of the river. Robbie swims in after Nick and nearly drowns him. He goes back to his hide - out only to find people living in it, he helps them, but the father of the girl that lives there goes crazy because he has no alcohol left and he slaps his daughter, then, the daughter, Violet, and Robbie run away from him, then go looking for him, only to find him trashing a drug store. As Violet and Robbie enter the store the father, Zeb, smashes a bottle over Robbie's head and he is rushed home.
To enjoy this book you would would have to like books that do not get straight to the point.My favourite character is Elliot , Robbie's older brother, because he has a very funny personality and is very bubbly. My favourite event is when Elliot goes missing and everyone is looking for him becaus I felt like I was there looking for Elliot with the characters because the description was amazing.
I think this book is suitable for people aged eleven to fifteen as it has alot of description and does not get to the point very quickly. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to most of my friends.

Monster Republic
by Ben Horton
This book is about a boy called Cameron who was in a explosion in a power plant and he was turned into a robot. I would recomend this book to anyone who is over eleven because it says 11 plus.This book is good because it has all sorts of twists and turns in the story.My favourite character in it is Cameron because he is funny and he is one of the main characters. There are also some intersting facts about power plants. This is my favourite book so far. The reason for this is because it has a cliffhanger at the end.Can't what till next book comes out.
This book was called "blood money" and it was written by Chris Ryan.
The book was about a group of 5 children who went to India to a school as part of a relief team.They then hear all sorts of things about what happens that really shockes them.Then one of the younger children got stolen,they had to intervene.
This book is amazing because of the cliffhangers that every chapter ends on.I couldn't put this book down.
My favourite character was Hex(one of the gang)because he is really sporty but could also hack any website he wanted to.In another book he hacked the US military.This book would be suitable for anyone from the ages of 11-15 because it is quite hard to understand.Someone younger might find it hard to follow and they might get bored of it.
I would definetely read this book again because it is that good.
virtual friend
this book is about a boy called ben who moves to a new town and a new school and does'nt have any friends so he decides to make up a virtual friends called Rory polestar. I liked Rory polestar because he was funny and funky and made me laugh. It was good because Rory made ben make firends before this ben was bored with nothing to do as he had moved to a new town through his Dads work. If his dad hadn't suggested going to visit Vince nextdoor ben wouldn't have made Rory up.It was a good way for Ben and his Dad to meet new friends it had also helped out Ben in school.I enjoyed reading this book because it was interesting to see what happened and fopr Ben to be happy in his new home and school.This book is suitable for ages 6 up as there is no bad words in it.
The book I chose to write about for my blog is "Frozen Fire" which was written by Tim Bowler.
This book is about a teenager called Dusty who, when she is alone in her home Thorn Cottage, gets a strange phone call from a boy who seems to know something about the disappearance of her brother, Josh. The boy can delve into the deepest parts of your soul, and say things that are close to your heart. He says Dusty can call him Josh, and at the end of the phone call he calls her "Tomboy" and says "Goodbye, little Dusty" which are things Josh said to her before he disappeared. She goes out, following his prints to Stonewell park and sees pills and a bottle of wine, both lying empty. The boy had taken an overdose. The prints all of a sudden end, and violent men with vicious dogs are out to get her. From this point on Dusty faces many dangers including the boy contacting her repetidly, fights with boys, people claiming to have seen a strange figure up on Raven's fell, people saying this "boy" had knocked them out by throwing thin air at them, then the two pitbulls mysteriously dying. Dusty then finds out there are mobs of people who want the boy dead, and these mobs soon turn on Dusty. The boy can see all, and then when things start to get out of hand he helps Dusty but she does notlisten and finds herself in trouble. Near the end Dusty starts to live the boy's life, sometimes walking and sometimes floating, sometimes living, sometimes just a presence. There is also a strange and haunting twist at the end of the book about Josh, Dusty's brother.
To enjoy this book you would need to like mystery books and thick books. My favourite character in the book is Dusty because she is the main character. I also like her because she is very sporty and she is a tomboy. My favourite event is when the mobs are after Dusty and they break doen Dusty's door looking for her. They threaten to burn her house down if she does not give up the location of the boy which she does not know. I like this event because it is very exciting.
I would recommend this book to people aged 14 and loder because it is really descriptive and is quite complicated.
By Chloe Scott
Gladiator boy by
David Grimstone.
This book is about a boy who is taken away from his father and is forced to fight as a gladiator. This book is good younger children because I didn't like this book and it only has three chapters in it.My favourite character is Argon because he is really cool and he is the toughest out of all the boys that are there. I want to read the other gladiator boy books because this book didn't have enough info in it.
The book I have chosen to write about for my blog is called The Starthorn tree and it is written by Kate Forsyth.
This book is about a boy called Pedrin and his best friend Durrik. They both live on Levannah - On -The -Lake and Pedrin is the villages loyal goatherd. When the count of Estelliana is put into an unnatural sleep, all the boys over the age of 14 have to go and help build the giant glass tower which, after the tower harnasses the power of the day star, will bring the count back to full health. But, when the boys are finished the great glass tower, the lightning nearly kills the count. The princess, Linsandre, grabs on to her brother to try and save him, but she also gets stuck in the lightning. Durrik jumps in , too, so Pedrin smashes the great glass lens harbouring the lightning. Durrik , half in a trance, recites a strange riddle, and all of the guards with their fusilisers at the ready are after them. They have to become outlaws and the rest of the Hearthkin get imprisoned in the dungeons. The princess and her young seamstress, Briony, also run away. They are left to fend for themselves in the Perilous Forest, and along with Pedrins two goats, are catupulted into the biggest adventure of their lives. My favourite line in the book is when Durrik says
"Under winters cold shroud the sun of light lies,
Though the summer sun burns high in the skies
With the last petal of the Starthorn Tree,
His wandering spirit shall at last slip free"
My favourite character is Briony because her eyes change with her feelings. My favourite event is when the four have to go into the cave of the gouls. It is very exciting.
I would recommend this book to people aged 13 and up as it is very complicated and has lots of discription. This is the best book I have ever read because I felt when I was reading the book I was a character in it because the book had lots of excellent description. I loved this book!

'Black Rabbit summer'
By Kevin Brooks
The book is about five old friends who meet up for old times sake but where there are old times there are old tensions and secrets and bitternes.
I really liked the book and my eyes were glued to the pages even though it took me a while to read.
My favourite part of the book was the night at the funfair and my favourite characther was Pete Boland.The reason I liked the book was because the author was good and there was good cliffhangers.
I would recomend this book to my friends because I think they'd really like it.It is suitable for teenagers because it is quite violent.

The Demon Headmaster Takes Over
By Gillian Cross
My book, The Demon Headmaster Takes Over is about a girl called Dinah she gets involved with a scientist called Claudia, she is involveed with a new project called the hyperbrain. The hyperbrain causes alot of trouble all around the world so Dinah and her friends decide to investigate. They find out many things starting of with that the Demon Headmaster is controling the hyperbrain. Read the book to find out what trouble this causes.
I loved this book because it was so exciting. I think I enjoyed it so much because there was always something going on and I always wanted a little extra time to continue reading to find out what happens next.
I would recomend this book to anyone, its that good. The only thing I'd mension is that yoyu may want to read the first book before reading this one. This is because the first one introduces you to all the main characters.
This book is called Young monsters. The author of this book is Michael Lawrence. Young monsters is about a boy called Lon It is quite a short book. Lon got sent to a bording school for young Monsters by his dad even though he wasn't a monster but when he got there he met a friend called Omar who gave him a lot of advice he also met enemies called Grout and his three friends. Grout tried to get him killed a few times. By making them go far into the jungle and get lost. there is lots of dangerous bugs in the jungle. But they managed to find a cave and set a fire but when a bat/Vampire came in they got frightened. I thought this book would be better for primary school kids as i found it a bit young for me.

Daughter of the Flames
By Zoe Marriott
This book I have recently read is called Daughter of the Flames.It is all about an orphan called Zira and what happens whan she and her village are attacked by the kings men.Also slowly she learns about her past,identity and who she is.
In Daughter of the Flanes my favourite character was Zira because she is alone and must find strength to fight her enemies and I liked this book because it had alot of action and cool stuff in it like what they wore.I also liked the part in the story when they are hiding from the king and they devise a plan to take down the king so everyone can be together instead of divided into two parts.
This book is quite reasonable so I think it is sutible for teenagers and people who like action and fighting.This could also for older teenagers because sometimes its confusing and there is some large words in it.Ihighly recommend it for a good and clever reader.
This book is very good.I wouldnt recommend it to adults though case it is more for people around thirteen to fifteen.Daughter of the Flames has magic,love,fighting and war in it.I hope if you read it, you will enjoy it.

I love Peanut Head
by pete Johnson
Ihis is a book about a boy who turned 13 and it was his worst week at school and he got in to trouble and his friend burned him then they fell out. he gets embarrassed because the head master keeps on talking to him he asks him stuff. he keeps on sitting next to him then people laugh.
I relly like the book because it is funy and silly.but i dont like the head master because he is relly nasty to people. one of the characters is scott he is the one how turned 13 he is quite smart and he is very nice. the other characters is called andrew he is nasty sometimes and he always gets in to trouble from the head master, 'Peanut Head'.
I think the book is suitable for someone who likes books that are funny and bad. I think that the book would be suitable for a nine - eleven year old. I think that some adults would like it because it is a good book and it is has some good characters in it. It also has a good author called Pete Johnson. If you read the blurb it will give you a rough idea of what it is about.

'The Dead'
By David Gatward
This book is about a rebelious teen called Lazarus who lives with his Dad. He is often in his house alone because his Dad's always away on business trips and his Mum died in a car crash when he was very young. One night when he is sitting in the house on his own he starts to feel nauseas so he goes downstairs to get a glass of water. On arriving downstairs he discovers a man sitting in his living room but this is no ordinary man. The man is missing chunks of flesh and is bleeding everywhere but miraculously he starts to heal. The man tells lazarus that the dead are coming. After this lazarus's life is turned upside down and into a thrilling novel.
I think this book is a great book and I love the authors style of writing. I thought it was very interesting and suspenseful.
My favourite part of the book is when lazarus is fighting legion and my favourite character is Red.
I would recomend this book to any teenager that likes horror and suspense.
I have recently read a book called Vicky angel by jaquline wilson.
It is about a girl called Jade and her friend Vicky. Jade pushes vicky too hard one day and vicky falls on to the road and gets hit by a car and is in hospital, but does she die ...?
Jade can see a sort of phantom of vicky. Everywhere jade goes vicky's phantom is always there. whether it be at school, at home in the park where ever vicky is there.
There is a boy vicky and jade dont like and his name is sam.
Throughout the story sam becomes jade's sort of friend. And they might even go out together.
One day they have a fun run at school and vicky is annoying jade again. So jade ignores vicky. Sam falls over and vicky laughs so hard that she falls but jade runs out to sam and makes sure hes ok. Sam and jade run together and vicky is left to listen to her thoughts. Jade has not been eating but now she is. Vicky becomes alot nicer and in the end vicky becomes an angel and flies up to the sky with wings and dissapears.
i thought the book was a reasonably good book but it was sad because it was about death. My faverouite character was vicky because she was funny.
The book is sutible for people who like comedys and sad stories. because the book is funny and sad at the same time. All in one the book was good.
I have just finshed readind a book called "Teen Queens". The author of the book is called Cathy Hopkins.
The book is about a girl named Lia. Who starts going out with a boy called Jonno Appleton only the most popular girl in Lia's year wants to go out with him and she starts bulling Lia because of it. At first Lia thinks she's imagining it but later she realises she's not. She doesn't know what to do about it and feels like everyones talking about her behind her back. Then a little while later her english teacher ask her class to do scenes where someones getting bullied and she finds out that she isn't the only one who has been bullied by Kayle.
I really enjoyed the book. My faourite character has to be the main charater Lia. My favourite event would be when Lia finds out she's not the only one whose been bullied.
I think the book is suitable for girls and it would be good for someone who has been bullied and for someone who is getting bullied.
The book also shows that you can't just get bullied physical but mentally aswell.

The book has got good characters in it and it is a very good novel. The book is suitable for age 9-18 year olds I would like it to be 9-18 year old because it is a very good book it is not too easy and not too hard.
'Come On Danny
By Chris Hamilton
The book i have recently read is by Andy Croft. It is a very short book, I got it from the school library on the 21st of October. The company who wrote the book are called Barrington Stokes who are a company who want to write short books.Danny is a 13 year old boy who tries his best but has some nasty friends who drink alcohol alot. Danny plays for the year 8 football team and is an ok player. He tries really hard in school but his friends hate it and want him to hate it too but Danny really likes writing stories and really likes his teacher. Dannys mum drinks and smokes all day and stays in her bed most of the time and doesnt take any notice of Danny or make breakfast lunch or dinner. Mrs Wilson asks Danny whats wrong and he says nothing and stops doing homework and missing school and really goes downhill. He goes out with his friends who are smoking and drinking and want to light a hedgehog on fire but Danny takes it off them and throws it in a river, someone spotted him doing it and got the wrong idea and his mum, Mrs Wilson and the RSPCA give him into trouble. He is playing for the year 8 football team and is about to take a penalty when his dad appears who Danny hasnt seen for 9 years, he misses the penalty but he doesnt care. I thought the book was really short and the writer could have put more detail into it.

He finally realises it was Marinetta and she finally realises it was Lucius.They both give an important message to the commander-in-chief and they finally got to go home but you will have to read this book and find out the rest.
I really enjoyed the book and would recommend it to all the who don't read alot and this book will make you want to read more.
I liked the part at first where Marinetta and Lucius never knew each other then they really get to know each other better throughout the book.People who like action books and that suff probably wont like this book.

Rena Joe And Alan pretend to smoke and Rena and Alan kiss to pretend it is Billy and Amy. They also spray BF<3AM with cream all over shop windows. Billy and Amy's mothers find out but do they get into lots of trouble...
I thought the book was good because it was funny but romantic at the same time. I would say the book would be good for girls than for boys because it is mare of a rom-com. But boys might like it to. My over all score is 7/10 because it had to many chapters.

The book I have recently read was called "The Time Machine" by Pauline francis. It was a great book that when I started reading it I couldn't stop.
It is about a man called the time traveller he makes time machines and then he goes into the future in them. When he gets into the future he goes a walk with these tiny little white creaturesbut he comes back his time travveller machine has vanished. So he spends 4 hard fighting days to try and find his time machine. There is alot in his way like little white creatures and horrible little white creatures, but will he ever get his time machine back.
I think that this book was great and interesting. I felt it made me excited alot in this book. My favourite part is when he is in the well looking for his time machine and all of the little white horrible creatures tried to kill him but they didn't.
I think that this book is suitable for an age group of about 11-13 because it is a little bit hard to understand in some parts. I think that 60people out of 100 people would enjoy this book.
Hope you enjoy when or if you read this book.

I have just read a book called "Beautiful Dead". The athor of the book is called Eden Maguire.
The book is about a girl called Darina who is the only one who knows about the beautiful dead. One of the beautiful dead called Summer has her one year death anniversire coming up and if Darina can't find out who killed her then Summer won't be able to move on.
My opinion of the book is that it was really good. My favourite charcter in the book is Darina. I like her because she never gave up on Summer no matter what obtiles that got in her way. My favourite event in the book was when Darina went back in time to the day Summer was killed. To find out who really killed Summer.
I think the book would be sutible for teenage girl readers because it's written more for older kids than yonger ones. I also think the book is good for anyone who would like to make it into the police force would like it.
I think the book also shows how the police investagate murders and how long they can take to slove them and that the person who they might suspect the most might not have done it.
"The Beautiful Dead"
By Eden Maguire
This book is about a girl called Darina whose boyfriend and three friends are all dead.Darina is very sad over her boyfriends{Phoenix} death.One day she visits an isolated barn and finds her dead boyfriend.Alive.All around him are her three friends and more peoplewho call themselves the Beautiful Dead.Darina leaves in a hurry but whenever she gets close to them she hears wings.Then she mets all Beautiful Dead.The Beautiful Dead are zombies come back for a year.They must find out why and who killed them before the year is up.Darina helps Jonas first.will Darina find out in time?
I really liked the first Beautiful Dead book because it was really goood and unusual.I think its a real shame for Darina because she lost some of her friends and her boyfriend.Phoenix {Darinas boyfriend}is my favourite character cause hes so nice to Darina and loves her.I also really like him cause hes one of the mysterious Beautiful Dead.I really like him cause hes not alive but hes not dead.Hes cool.
I think this book is sutible for teenagers.I dont think its sutible for for young kids cause it might be scary for them or mabye just to much to read.It might be sutible for an adult with an open imagination or belief in mythical creature.Teenagers should like it but zombies might not be everyones taste.
People who have watched or read Twilight series should like this book because its much the same thing.Except zombies instead of vampires .Its not like most zombie books.These are different zombies!
Dying to be Famous
Tanya Ladman
Dying to be Famous is a book about two average kids,Poppy and Graham who star in a big paly with celebrity and actor Tiffany Webb who has been reciving threats from a mysterious stalker.Both Poopy and Graham investigate and are detrmind to find out who the satlker is !
I think it's a really good book because there's alot of mystery and excitment and you just cant wait to get to the end .My favourite events are when Geoff is first killed but nobody knew why he died. Also when Cynthia was murdered because she got hit on the head with an axe. And then when everyone finds out the truth that there wa no stalker it wasTiffany and Jason killing everyone,tiffany was miming and Tiffany was killed bye Rex
I think the book is suitable for everyone beacause it's fun and exciting. I would give the book to my friends and family i think they would enjoy it. I really enjoyed the book and i will defenitly read more of Tanya ladmans books.
A book i have recently read is "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins.
The book is about a 16 year old girl who lives on a terrible world in the future.Each year 1 boy and 1 girl from each district are sent to fight to the death. This year it's her year. Will she be victorious and famous or be killed and forgotten.
In my opinion this book was fantastic in all ways. It was the best book that i have ever read. My favourite character was Haymitch because he was never sober. The best part would have to be the forest fire.
This book is a suitable book for ages 10-14 in my opinion. I think people who like action and a little romance would really like this book.
Even though there is romance it doesn't ruin the action. In fact it makes it a more heart stopping book and the famous writers that have read it. One of these famous readers is Stephen King and he said "constant suspence... I couldn't stop reading."
By Robbie Howard
The book i have been reading for my read to suceed is called castles and catastrophes by Ros Asquith.The book is about a girl called Cordelia Arbutnot.She wants to become a writer like her aunt, aura Hunt.She is about to be split up from bestfriend Callum because they need to go to two diffrent schools.

I really enjoyed the book and i thought it was exciting to read.My favourite event was when they made the booby trap and it didn't work out the way it was supposed to . My favourite character was Viola because she was a kind of shy,sneaky,liar.
I think the book is suitable for young teenagers.

by Emma Morgan
Invisible Ink and the auther is called Barbara Mitchelhill.
This story is about a man called Mathew he worksin a factory and his boss is called Tony and one night 3 men broken in to the factory and they tied up Tony and stolling computers.
I think the book is brilliant it is got good characters in it.My favourite character is Matthew he is a very good character in this book.
I think it is sutable for 11 year olds to 16 year olds. I think they would like it because it is very intresting and very good.
It is good and interesting for teenagers and it is also good for reading it in your bed. I enjoyed this book because the characters were very life like and almost made me feel like I was in the book myself.
Conner Brown
the book was about a house covered in poison ivy and a small boy and his dog go to the house and decide to go in the ivy riddled house and hell breaks loose.I realy enjoyed the book and my favourite event is when he goes looking for his dog through the ivy riddled house and my favourite character was the dog i think it is suttible for ages 12-13 and people who like books that are very tense and have a twist to theme will enjoy this book.I liked this part because when he goes to find spot he is very anxus and determined to beat the ivy to get to spot.Also spot barks to let him know where he is and also because he gets a big shock when he meets the ivy monster.I liked this charcter because he is realy cleaver and very small and can move alot quicker and you can tell he loves barry becaus when barry went looking for spot and met up wiyh the ivy monster and he tryed to run but the ivy shoot out a big peace of ivy and got him by the neck and strangled him and thene spot came and broke the ivy.When barry got to spot he was whimpering and looking at a half opend door so barry had to look to see what spot was scared of behind the dorr whene barry goes to spot he sees something that no other human has seen before an ivy monster that had black dark holes for eyes and like twisted ivy for legs and arms and torso barry started to get strangled by the ivy he caught a glimps of a pair of sissors and he grabbed theme and slashed the ivy with theme and thene he heard spot barking and couldent carry on and fainted and then spot came baking and whimpering ones he realised barry has fainted and likes his face and awakens barry and he is glad to see spots face and spot bites the ivy to set barry free and thene they went home and the ivy coverd the door once again the end
I have recently read a book called Greed By Chris Ryan.
The book is about a man called Matt who needs money fast so as an ex-SAS soilder MI5 offers him a job, no charges one month 2 millon pounds it seems to be easy then when the mission is over the members of the group and their families start to get hunted down and brutally murdered. Matt was only trying to sort his life out but hes only made it worse
One of my favourite parts in it was where they robbed the boat to get the money. The skill and equipment used was what made it one of the most exciting parts in the book.
The book has betrayal , war and greed packed into every single page.I would recommend this book to any boy who can read quite alot and likes SAS type books...
Chris ryan is a good offer and this is one of many of his books i have read.

the book was about a house covered in poison ivy and a small boy and his dog go to the house and decide to go in the ivy riddled house and hell breaks loose.I realy enjoyed the book and my favourite event is when he goes looking for his dog through the ivy riddled house and my favourite character was the dog i think it is suttible for ages 12-13 and people who like books that are very tense and have a twist to theme will enjoy this book.I liked this part because when he goes to find spot he is very anxus and determined to beat the ivy to get to spot.Also spot barks to let him know where he is and also because he gets a big shock when he meets the ivy monster.I liked this charcter because he is realy cleaver and very small and can move alot quicker and you can tell he loves barry becaus when barry went looking for spot and met up wiyh the ivy monster and he tryed to run but the ivy shoot out a big peace of ivy and got him by the neck and strangled him and thene spot came and broke the ivy.When barry got to spot he was whimpering and looking at a half opend door so barry had to look to see what spot was scared of behind the dorr whene barry goes to spot he sees something that no other human has seen before an ivy monster that had black dark holes for eyes and like twisted ivy for legs and arms and torso barry started to get strangled by the ivy he caught a glimps of a pair of sissors and he grabbed theme and slashed the ivy with theme and thene he heard spot barking and couldent carry on and fainted and then spot came baking and whimpering ones he realised barry has fainted and likes his face and awakens barry and he is glad to see spots face and spot bites the ivy to set barry free and thene they went home and the ivy coverd the house ones gain and barry and spot left the house and went home for a week or two and let things lie for a while and they returned two wekks later ande they went back in to the horrible house and let bhistory repet its self and they were never seen again i thout this book was good because it wos full of suprises and unexpected things happening

I think this book is very good. I enjoyed reading it during school. My favorite character is jamie. I lkie him because he is good at football and has a good dream. My other favorite character is jack. l like her because she is loyal to jamie and is also good at football. My favorite event is when jamie does his stepover against Jack and she was amazed. My other favorite event is when jamie goes up to his coach and calls him Hillary. My other favorite event is when jamie meets his dad. I like this event because it is nice that he finaly meets his dad. Another event I like is when Jamie s Dad tells him that he could get him proffesional. I like this event because Dillon keeps saying that jamie johnson will never become a proffesional football player.
I think that this book is suitable for children over nine and I think that everyone who likes football would want to read this

The text is about Darina and the Beautiful Dead(who are zombies)and what they get up to.During this book Darina is in danger when investigating a murder for the Beautiful Dead.At the same time she is trying to balance her friends and family.
My opinion of this book is that it this very good and exciting.I like it because Darina(who is my favourite character)gets to do investigating for the beautiful dead and is in danger all the time.My favourite part is when they go back in time to see who murdered Darinas friend,Summer.
I think this book is sutible for teenagers and adults.It might be scary for kids or or they might not understand it.Plenty of people would like this book.
There is still one more book to go in the series.Beautiful Dead-Phoenix.Darinas only love. That book should be good.

&
Martin Chatterson
This book is about a boy who hates his family and his little sister "James Prssing the knife point against his little sisters neck.
My opinion of this book, I like it and its a little bit spooky with all the Ghosts and monsters
I Think my favourite event on the book is when they were playing "the deadly game" AKA Hide and Seek but deadly.My Favourtie Character was Mr James because he was the most violent person on the book.
I Think this book is suitible for people who like violent stuff and deaths. If You like girly books Dont buy this.
The main character of my opinion
was Billy becuase he played in every scene of the book and he was also one of my favourtie characters of the book aswell as he did fun stuff.
Voodoo Child

The Nightmare Room by R.L Stine
Spencer Turner just purchased A cool new gadget called the holwer. It's supposed to allow spencer to pick up the howls of ghosts and spirits. Spencer would love to communicate with the spirit world.
My opinion on the book is it is layed out fantastic and it was a bit scary with the ghosts and spirits appering from nowhere. My favourite charcters were Spencer , vanessa and scott. My favourite event was when they played a trick on scott with the howler.
I think the book is suitable for 11 years and over because it is a wee bit scary and i think my Auntie would like it because she likes scary things like this.
He can't wait to see if it works. Unfortunately , Spencer soon hears is own howls of horror-because when he turns on the howler , he opens a channel to the nightmare room. I really liked this book. By Chloe Rhodick

My book is called The hundred-Mile an hour dog by Jeremy Strong.
I like the bit where Tina and Trevor tried to train Trevor's dog called Streaker.Trevor came up with some plans/ideas but they didn't really work and Tina's plans didn't really work either.Charlie said if they didn't train streaker they were to go in a mud bath with all sorts of stuff in it.
I think this book was ok because at some parts were boring like:Tina and Trevor had ideas/plans but none of them worked.Some parts were good when one of the ideas/plans worked because they put a mobile on streaker and they kept a mobile phone and when streaker heard the phone he would come back.
I think this book is suitable for all ages because they would really enjoy it.They would enjoy the bit where charlie said if they didn't train streaker they would go in a mud bath and when streaker started to fight with a cat in another house.dad was a bit mad when streaker broke one of the phones and knocked the other ohone out of Trevor's hand.Trevor had to pay money for two new phones and money for more dog biscuits because Trevor gave them all to streaker.

The book i have just read is called wicked chickens by Vivian French. I think this book is aimed at 8-13 year olds. The book was ok,but it was quite silly and i wouldn't recommend it.

When they get there, Charlie thinks that there is something wrong with them. No-one beleives him until the morning that mum pulls back the curtains and she got the fright of her life. She sees the chickens cracked teeth and beaming red eyes. She convinces the others that what charlie was saying is true.

it is about a girl called katniss everdeen who is in a unhappy vision of the future who is thrown from her poor life in the seam to a horrible gameshow where she has tto hunt killa ndlive off the terrain. katniss is a girl whois not much older than i am and at her age she to deal with alot of pain a suffering now she has to copete with other children from all over the country to stay alive a thrilling book that i was glued to. my favourite part in the book is where at the start of the games where she has to decide what to do to grab weapons and risk being killed or run for safty in the woods .the book is a dedcent length and is very detailed. i would suggest this boook to anyboy because it is very gory at times for exanple when kitniss gets her first kill she shoots him through the neck . the book lasted me a month.

Weirdoes War
A book I have recently read was Weirdoes War by Michael Coleman. The first chapter is about two boys who get stuck underground. The boys are called Daniel and Tozer.
At primary Daniel would stay in at break and lunch while everyone went outside. One day he decided to go out and play a game of rounder’s . One boy hits the ball into the bush and tozer goes to get it but when he was brining out the ball he spotted a cricket ball so he picks that up and throws the ball towards Daniels face.
Daniel and Tozer get stick underground in a cave but with no way out. The search and search but still no way out.
The next school day came and they were in P.E doing a race called race to the roof. You have to climb up the wall bars and touch the roof and climb back down again. Once the people are down the next to people will go. Tozer and Greg were last to go while Tozer was climbing back down he slipped and grabbed onto ropes and starts swinging about. The teacher now calls him monkey.
The whole class was going on a trip today. While they were going to their destination they went through a hill that had been cut in a half. When they reach their point the class is separated into separate rooms. When the class get to their rooms they decide who is getting each bed. Greg and Daniel get the middle two and Tozer gets the one beside the sink.
The next day comes and they are doing trust exercises Tozer has to demonstrate he has to stand on a bench and fall back but he is to scared so he puts one leg out before he falls.
The next comes and the class go on a nature walk. There is an activity where you have to guide your partner through a trail. Tozer is put with Daniel and Daniel guides Tozer through the trail.
Daniel and Tozer get stuck in a cave with only a bit of light. The only way threy can get out is if they work together.
Daniel gets flung into a lake. At supper Axelman ask everyone who done it but no one answers. Lonnie said the boy was wearing a orange waterproof jacket and Axelman looks straight at Tozer. Axelman asks him what colour his jacket is and he says orange.
The next day they were going on a cliff diving place. On the way there Axelman tells them about the places they go through.
Daniel and Tozer are stuck in a cave with no light Daniel reaches into his bag to get his torch and shines it towards the top of the cave, to see if there was an opening.
The next day the class go on a nature walk. Daniel and Tozer are put together as a pair. Tozer finds a gap and goes through it. Daniel follows him in it but they cant get out.
Daniel and Tozer find marker D. They set off to find marker E. To find it they have to cross a wooden bridge.
The boys find Axelman lying on the ground with a rip on his trousers. Tozer says I hope he dies. Daniel feels his pulse and he is alive.
Daniel and Tozer get hut with a powerful wave of water. Daniel tries to help Axelman but Tozrer stands there shouting die Axelman die.
The boys gbet Axelman to a dry passage way. Daniel looks for a way out but there is none wide enough for three of us.
Axelman is took to hospital. The doctors says he will be kept in over night. Daniel and Tozer become friends.

My book was 'New Moon' by Sephenie Meyer
This is the second book in 'The Twilight Saga' about a girl named Bella Swan who falls in love with a vampire named Edward Cullen.
In this book the Cullens (Edwards vampire family) leave after Jasper (Edwards brother) tries to kill Bella after she cut her finger at her birthday party that Alice (Edwards sister) threw for her.
For 3 moths Bella isdepressed so she startd doing thins that are stupid and reckless because she can 'see' him (or she thinks she can).
DurinG the book a vampire named Laurent tries to kill her but is killed by HUGE wolves. Then victoria (another vampire) keeps coming back to kill her but cant get close because of the wolves.
The wolve acctually turn out to be werewolves from the quileute reservation just ot side of the town Bella lives in. Bellas best frien Jacob also turns out to be a wolf.
One day Bella goes cliff diving and Alice sees her (Alice has visions of the future just like Edward can read minds except Bellas) Alice thinks bella was trying to kill herself. Edward finds out and think bella is dead and decides he wants to die too. Alice finds bella and tells her what had happende and its down to Belaa to save him from the Volturi . . .
I have read all of the twilight book and the are all great. Bella is small, vunerable, clumsy and has the worst luck in the world but she manages to stumbly her way throught life.
This is a good book but i recomend you read 'twilight' first or you wont understand what is going on.
