Book review




Clarice Bean spells trouble 
by Lauren Child.

I think this book is really funny but in a clever way. Based on what happens in people's normal lives but with a bit of a twist. I recommend it for ages seven and up.

Just tricking

                          Just tricking by Andy Griffths
Would you play dead just to get out of school? Would you wear a gorilla suit to your sisters birthday? If so this is the book for you. Just tricking is a fantastic book with plenty of tricky stories. P.S don't  get any ideas. My favorite is 'Beat the bomb'. Beat the bomb is about Andy and his friend Danny Who always play practical jokes such as writing rude complaints to the local KFC and sign them Malvin they play the biggest joke ever and then they find out a sad fact and grow great sympathy for him. Anyway just tricking is a stupid book 'Just tricking'.

Star Wars the clone wars


Star Wars is about sith lords trying to take over the world.
The jedis fight back to take back what is theirs. When the jedis fight they are outnumbered so they create the clones to fight with them.
My favorite part is the fight against the genosions and droids.
The jedis and sith lords use specail weapons called light sabers.
That's why it's my favourite book.

Desprate Deserts

Desperate Deserts, you think its going to tell you about Deserts. That's what you expect with every other book name, but I'm not here to talk to you about book name's, I'm here to talk to you about Desperate Deserts the book. Desperate Deserts is written by Anita Ganeri. The book is a Horrible Geography and it's really interesting to read, even adults would enjoy it but now it's time to tell you about the book. First here's a Quote "Geography. What on Earth is it about? some geography teachers drone on and on about far-flung places you've never heard of, using lots of posh words even they can't spell." Desperate Deserts, it Tell's you about how to get a night with the natives , here's a Quote "when they ask you if you want a cup of tea, say yes and slurp it up so they know your enjoying. It if they ask you if you want some more, say yes and do the same." It also tells you how the farmers got water from the ground. The book tells you about a whole lot more interesting stuff but I'm not going to tell you right now, but if you want to find out yourself, just read the book.

Darkwing

                         Darkwing
         By Kenneth Oppel

The tree never seemed so high. Dusk laboured up the trunk of the giant sequoia sinking his claws into the soft reddish bark. His father, Icron climbing beside him.

65 million years ago the dinosaurs are dying there is a animal that are early relations to bats called the chiropter Dusk is one of them. Dusk has always been fascinated by birds and he has always wanted to fly.His colony thinks this is wrong (as Dusk's colony glides). One day he learns how to fly but this turns his world upsidedown. He is different to his colony as his colony only glides but he flies. But on the other island (the main island Dusk and his colony live on an island away from the mainland) the animals that the chiropters had a truce with suddenly changes sides into meateaters and the chiropters don't know that they have changed sides. Dusk senses danger.

 I think Kenneth Oppel is the best author ever. It is a fascinating tale and you have to read it! I hope I get to read some more of Kenneth Oppels books about Bats! Remember to read Darkwing its a really great story.

These are some of Kenneth Oppels other books about bats, Silverwing, Sunwing, Firewing, Airborn and Skybreaker

Kiss Kiss Yuck Yuck - Book Review by Lucy R17

This story is about a boy that hates seeing his Aunty. She is called Aunty Elsie. All the time Andy tries to run away but Aunty Elsie is too quick and Andy is too slow and Aunty Elsie just puts her arms around Andy and kiss on the left cheek and kiss on the right cheek.

“Yuck yuck,” said Andy and they all came the same. Andy just squeezes his eyes and tries to get out but he can’t.

Tom and Jerry

The story “Tom and Jerry” is based on a mouse and a cat and a very funny story. Jerry (the mouse) is running away from Tom (the cat) and pulling pranks on Tom. Tom tries to chase Jerry. I like it because it is so funny and so childish.
