Age 8- and up (if a good reader 7 and up)

HARRY POTTER  AND THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE
is an amazing book for young and old . It is so fun to read you can't stop reading it. You finish one chapter you can't wait to read the next one.

It is about a boy aged 11 who does not know he is a wizard who is on a journey to stop the evil wizard called VOLDEMORT.

Harry was taken to his only muggle family who are very, very mean. One day, letters started to fly in his house .His uncle was furious, so they went to this awful shack on a tiny island. A giant called Hagrid broke in and took him on his flying motor bike.They went to Hogwarts school of Witch Craft and Wizardry and that's just the start.    

Each chapter is amazing.  My personal favourite chapter is when Harry gets the Philosopher Stone.
It is an exciting book with a new adventure on every page.

 So if you like this what has been written about this book so far, you can get it in the library today. There are many other books about Harry Potter and him going on meany others adventures and quests.

Come-on it isn't going to borrow itself!

"My friend is sad", is one of the great books by Mo Willems. Read this book and you will crack up laughing it's so funny.This is one out of 7 that I read and I think it is the best.

Gerald the elephant and Piggie the pig are best friends.They play games and they do jokes and play pranks.
they are  so funny it is ridiculous .

Gerald sometimes smiles and Piggie always smiles.Nothing makes them sad when they are together.

They dress up and they don't know who it is."My Friend Is Sad" does not make you sad it makes you smile so my rating is 99/100.

There are lots of good drawings and you can tell who is talking because of the speech bubbles.

You need to read this" My friend is sad".

ISBN: 9781742116747

Pages: 313

Ages:(10-16)Highly Recommended

Why I chose this book:I chose this book because of the dragon on the cover and just because I flicked through the book and saw how well the pictures looked.

"The Dragon Diary" is mostly about dragons and it is a adventure novel.Its the second book in the series of "The Dragonology Chronicles".

"The Dragon Diary" is about a boy who is named Daniel, Beatrice his sister, Dr Drake his teacher,Weasel and Jamal are dragons that live in the area and the other class mates.Their enemy Ignatius Cook is also in the book.In "The Dragon Diary" the boy and sister had been sent to the school because there parents were meant to meet them there.


"The Dragon Diary" is about Daniel and Beatrice hatching a new born dragon that doesn't like Daniel because he had to dip the dragon in the bath water and dragons don't like that and don't forget it.

"The Dragon Diary" would be a  really good book for a person who really likes dragons and adventure books.

"The Dragon Diary" was a great adventure and fantasy book I couldn't stop reading it but at first I thought to put the book down but then I read the next page and I got so engaged in the book I just wanted to read at night.The Dragon Diary was great and I loved it and I hope you will read it and enjoy it. :)

Mr Stink By Ashlee

Mr Stink

ISBN-1540 08258 4

Author: David Walliams

Illustrator: Quentin Blake

(Ages: 8+) Highly Recommended

If you don't know who David Walliams is, many reviews say, he is the new Roald Dahl. He's very good at writing stories for kids. He has written other books.

Mr Stink is about a little girl called Chloe who loves to make up stories but doesn't have any friends, until she meets Mr Stink. Mr Stink is the local tramp (a homeless person) and Chloe's family has lots of money. When her mother runs for Prime Minister, she wants the local tramps thrown off the streets and Mr Stink needs a place to stay. Chloe decides to hide him in her shed. All seems well. But will the secret be kept safe? And who knows what other secrets are waiting to be told...

The last two or three chapters are very heartwarming, the others are a mix of emotions.  Mr Stink is very lovely book to read any day of the week. It has 272 pages which is not that long. There are a couple of hard words but other than that, it's easy to read.

I highly recommend Mr Stink. It's very good for Roald Dahl fans and for kids who just love to read. This book is so good, it was made into a movie!  This book should be on every library shelf.

Fred Stays with Me by Jessica P

                                                           

   FRED STAYS WITH ME !

   By Nancy Coffelt

   Illustrated by Tricia Tusa

  ( ISBN ) 978-0-86461-690-6 

 (Ages 5-9 ) 

Fred Stays With Me is a picture book for young kids. It is great for kids that love dogs. The pictures are really simple but really great and effective. Nancy Coffelt has written a lot of books. Some are Dogs In Space and I'm Sleeping. Tricia Tusa has  pictures in picture books for all different people. This book is very easy book to read if you are not the best reader. 

Fred Stays With Me is a book about a dog that that misbehaves. But no mater what his owner (the little girl) loves him. Fred (the dog) goes everywhere with the little girl and they love each other. 

Fred stays with the little girl when she goes to her dads and mums. At mums, the dog (Fred)loves to bark at the new little puppy dog next door . At dads, the dog is a bit cheeky and likes to eat all of the dad's socks.

To stop Fred form barking at mums, they take Fred on a car ride to the park. At dads to stop Fred from eating all the socks, they take Fred to the lake to run around.

Does this stop Fred from barking or from eating all the socks.  You will need to read this exciting book to find out.

Dandelion fire : By Ava K

 

Dandelion Fire
By N.D Wilson
ISBN: 978-1-74166-421-8
Age 11-16 highly recommended

Dandelion fire is a very inspirational book . This is because the author actually wrote this after he had a house fire at the age of twelve, so he had to spend nearly a year living in his grand parents attic. He expressed in this story what the attic was like. He was curious to see what was behind the walls in the attic and if the attic walls had cupboards in them so that is why the worlds are through cupboards. Nowadays N.D Wilson still checks behind walls for hidden doors!

Whilst I was reading this, I noticed there were happy and sad moments that are very touching . This book is about an adventurous boy named Henry York who discovers many portals to many unusual worlds. Some are very calm and some are an enormous terrifying adventure but Henry can't leave them because he is on a mission. The reason is because he doesn't know where he came from or who his parents are, so this is a mission to find out. I felt this was most touching because I think the worst thing that could happen to any body is their parents not being there for them. This book leaves you hanging after each chapter so it makes you very intrigued.

This book is part of a series about 100 cupboards. It has 28 chapters and was published in 2009

I truly believe this is an inspirational story.

Beast Quest The Acid Dart By Riley J

Book: Beast Quest The Acid Dart

Author: Adam Blade

ISBN 978-1-40831-520-0

Ages (8-14) Highly Recommended

Pages 121

Beast Quest is back again with it's 10th series out of eleven and this book is the 57th book in the series. Adam Blade has not stopped writing books and he has wrote 69 books. This is only one of the awesome books out of 69. I recommend that this is one of the hardest and craziest  journey yet and one of the monsters.

Something horrible lurks in the yellow marshes! It's Lustor, can Tom save the day again, this giant beast can shoot out acid. Can Tom and Ellana beat Lustor. Tom has to give it his best shot to defeat the acid dart. This book will make you feel like you are Tom or Ellana fighting the beast or going on this magical journey.

Find out how his journey went and check out how scary it becomes. Tom faced many fears and it took him quite a lot of days to find the acid dart. It's quit a mystery meeting these strange creatures and animals trying to destroy Tom. Monsters are always attacking him, it's like they're attracted to him.  If any one else trys to defeat Lustor or any other monster they will get destroyed. The king makes Tom go on the mission because Tom has the best chance of defeating the monsters.

This is a awesome choice when your're going on holiday or a drive through the jungle because all of those places are adventure places and this book and many other Beast Quest books are adventure books. This book would be an awesome choice, once you've finished it try not going on an other Beast Quest books. Every book is awesome.
