By Jenny Oldfield

ISBN 9781402213274

(Ages 9-17 for horse lovers)

The Half Moon Ranch are a 4 book series of fantastic books. Wild Horses is the first installment of the Half Moon Ranch books. The book is an adventure and once you pick it up you cant put it down. It is an intriguing book to read. The set are all Adventurous, emotional at times and non stop talking about horses. The feature about the book is a lost and confused Stallion who is a brave leader of a herd of horses.

The main characters in the story are Kirstie and Charlie. Kirstie loves horses and will never leave a horse behind or will never forget about it. Charlie encourage's people to make the right decisions but also will never leave a horse behind. Kirstie and Charlie are very confident riders and will never give up. 

Wild Horses is 153 pages which is a great amount of pages for kids to read. The Horses of Half Moon Ranch follows the author, Jenny Oldfield's sister Kirstie Scott and Matt Scott her brother and their passion for horses. This book is spectacular to read. It is extremely detailed, the front cover makes it stand out. The blurb is spot on and makes you want to read it. You wont be upset went you finish the book because there are three installments of the book left for you to read.

I highly recommended the Half Moon Ranch, Wild Horses book is a book that all people should read. It is a good book for a person who is just developing new styles of books and lucky that this is a series of books so that the reader can start reading bigger novels or would be inspired by the series and start there own series of books.

The Case of the Disappearing Detective by Zodee Zawadzki


The Case of the Disappearing Detective

By Anthony Read

ISBN  1844289613

(Ages 9-15) Recommended For Mystery Lovers

The Case of the Disappearing Detective is a great book with an interesting mystery. Its an old London story with very Old London slang words some that are hard to say and explain.  This book is old fashion with a famous detective Sherlock Holmes. The case of the Disappearing detective is a great fun mystery book with twist and turn all though out the Book.

The case of the disappearing detective is about Sherlock Holmes and the backer street boys wich
Will have a twist when you read who's in it. Sherlock sends the Backer street boys on a mission following a sworn enemy Mr M. Sherlock always stays in touch but when Wiggins went to talk to him he has Disappeared.

141 pages of pure mystery makes this book one to die for I say if you have trouble reading small size text it will be hard to read  for you. Even though the cover is dark and mysterious it shows you that the book is about the olden day with a dark fog. The blurb is detailed with the most beautiful summery.

Sherlock is missing. Was Mr  M behind it or did he wonder off without telling anyone read this amazing book to find out.

I recommend this book for mystery loves who love a good read, if you or someone your recommending a book to who is just getting in to novels I wouldn't read this book because there are really hard words that are hard to understand. Bigger kids this is a great book if you want a challenge to improve your reading

The Mystery Of The Mummys Mask By Ebony



The Mystery Of The Mummy's Mask

By Paul Holper & Simon Torok 
      
ISBN-978033042337

(Ages 8-12) Recommended

The Who Dun It series are mystery books. The mystery in this book is about a missing Egyptian mask. The main characters are called Hannah and Zac. They try to find out who has stolen the mask. Zac and Hannah try to sneak into the function room to find more clues at night time.

Each chapter in The Mystery Of The Mummy's Mask has a new mystery. The book is recommended for ages to 8 to 12 years old. This book uses real forensics to solve fictional mysteries.
Zac and Hannah are always sneaking around at night time looking for clues. There were policeman in their office with one of the suspects called Cleo Farrow. Zac and Hannah are working so hard to find out if its her or someone else.

This book is amazing because all of its features and the mysteries are great and you wouldn't want to put it down at anytime. It is illustrated by Stephen Axelsen. He is a very creative drawer.
I recommend everyone should read theses series because it is about fictional stories that could have of happened in ancient times. The Mummy's Mask is so precious that one person has to take care of it and that would be a very hard job, unfortunately for Millie it rests in her hands.

I like this book because the introduction tells you a bit more about how the the mask was stolen. The Rock-Star Robbery (second book in the series) that i am still reading is not near the same as this book with the mysteries and lies.  

Zac and Hannah are like detectives in this book. What they are trying to do is find out who would of stolen the mask but they are so close  to finding out.

Billie B Brown -The Big Sister is a great book. It is one of the best books in the series. Billie B Brown is the main character and all the books are about Billie B Brown and her life adventures.

Finders Keepers by Riley C

Finders Keepers

181 Pages

By Emily Rodda

ISBN- 1862913609

(Ages 9 - 20) Highly Recommended

Main Character(s)- Patrick

Family- Patrick has a Older sister (Claire), Younger brother (Danny), Dad (Paul) and a mum (Judith)

Finders Keepers is an adventure and mystery book. Patrick has to figure out riddles that you could try and figure out with him. Patrick goes out trying to find missing objects from Eleanor Doon, Clyde O'Brien and Wendy Minelli, you wont believe where he has to go to look.

Patrick goes to all different places to find the three missing objects. Patrick tries to find the objects to win a computer! Actually not just a computer it's an Easy Way 2000 Somehow all the stuff he does leads him to the three objects.

The Finders Keepers is a must for primary school library shelves. It is a great book to read in a group, class or just yourself! I thoroughly recommend Finders Keepers as a great book! Kids that absolutely love novels would probably love this book and Emily Rodda's other book (Time-Keeper).

Captain Underpants and the Tyrannical Retaliation of the Turbo Toilet 2000



Captain Underpants and the Tyrannical Retaliation of the Turbo Toilet 2000

By Dav Pilkey

ISBN – 978 174362 598 9

(Ages 7 - 13) Highly Recommended

Captain Underpants series is back in its 11th instalment. Dav Pilkey hasn’t changed a thing in the way he delivers an action packed ridiculous adventure with the most unlikely of heroes and villains so obscure the names have to be enormous.

The Turbo Toilet 2000 wants revenge for what happened in the previous historically documented episode of captain underpants. This villain is known for devouring everything and anything in its path and this time it’s built up a real appetite. The fate of all of humanity is once again in the hands of our
unlikely heroes, George and Harold and their annoying nemesis Melvin Sneedly. Can the boys once
again defeat the Turbo Toilet 2000? Can they save all of mankind from the disasters that are imminent?

The Tyrannical Retaliation of the Turbo Toilet 2000 is a must for primary school library shelves. The 220 pages will be devoured by most kids quickly with the typical style of Dav Pikey book lending to
short pages and weirdly engrossing silliness. Like the sanitised for your protection section where a
graphic fight scene takes place that is way too nasty for any children’s book. 4 year old guest illustrator and his 71 year old commentator nana are brought in to describe the battle in a way that
will make anyone giggle.

I thoroughly recommend the Captain Underpants series and The Tyrannical Retaliation of the Turbo
Toilet 2000 is as awesome as any of its predecessors. It's style is great for a developed reader who just loves the series but will also be easily read by an emerging reader making the move to novels.
