This is the first book in the series 'The books of beginning’. Michael, Kate and Emma are taken from their parents by a strange skinny man. Kate the oldest has a locket her mum has given her with their names on it. They are sent to 14 orphanages, the final one being the mysterious Cambridge Falls. It's run by Stanislaus Pym. The children discover a book called 'The book of life' in his office and they go on different adventures.
Rated: 5/5 - "I really want the author to write the third book in the series because it's so good!"
'Pink bow tie' is one of the stories in the book. It’s about a boy who is in detention after only his second day at school. He’s there because he made fun of someone wearing a pink bow tie who turns out to be the principal. While there he tells the principal a story about how he dyed his hair, he met a boy while on a train who was smoking, he tells the boy off for smoking (says he’s too young), but the boy has a machine that can make people younger or older. It’s very funny.
Rated: 5/5 - "Really funny."
Someone tries to kill Alex’s girlfriend’s father. When they try to find out who it was they end up going after someone called Damien Cray. Damien Cray has invented a game console where you can actually ‘feel’ the person dying when you kill them on the screen. He also has classified information which can set off 12 American missiles… I’ll give the story away if I tell the rest!
Rated: 5/5 - "Super awesome!"
Geronimo gets a message from the Golden Dragon to save a princess who is being held in Paradise. They have to somehow get a map of Paradise and the only way is to steal it from an ogre’s treasure chest.
Rated: 5/5 - "Very interesting, fun to read because it has font in different styles, colours and sizes. It's also easy to read."
Rachel and Kirsty go to Fairyland (they do this by twirling) and meet Izzy the fairy. In Fairyland there’s a candy castle, monster gingerbread men, elves and lots of lollies and ice-cream. There are naughty goblins who try to get Izzy but she escapes.
Rated: 5/5 - "I like books about fairies."
Pippi’s mother died when she was very young and thinks her mum is looking down at her from a hole in the sky. Her dad was a sea captain and went missing on a boat but she thinks he has become a king of the ‘natives’ somewhere faraway.
She lives alone with her pet monkey and horse in a big house that was bought by her father before he went missing. She is very strong, she can lift her horse up with one hand. She likes playing tricks too and she is a thing-searcher, she looks for anything and collects them. She bakes cookies on the floor (which I think is very unhygienic). She does lots of things.
Rated: 5/5 - "A really good story."
