Shadow Sun Survival by Dave Willmarth, Review by Aarav

In this book the world turns into a game, where the players get one year before the aliens invade. There are dungeons, weapons and bosses to fight. The main character is 13 and he has a pet bear called Fuzzy. It ends on a cliff hanger..the dragon eggs are hatching!

Rated: 5/5 Reallys "It's really good. It catches and keeps your attention right to the end"

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, Review by  Phil

The main character is Katniss Everdeen. She lives in District twelve of Panam, once North America. There used to be 13 districts until 13 was destroyed because of civil unrest. The Capitol hold a game to remember the bloodshed during the rebellion. Each district is represented by two contestants, who must all fight each other to the death until one victor remains. This was the first book in the series, but now there is a prequel as well. My favourite chapter is the last one. Definitely see the films too!

Rated: 5/5 Reallys "It's a really good book, very suspenseful"

Blood Fever by Charlie Higson, Review by Jaxon

The main character is James Bond except he is still a student at Eton. One of his teachers says let's go to this really hot place, when they arrive he sees some mysterious people who are talking in Latin. Then his teacher gives him a pill and he wakes to find himself tied up in a swamp, surrounded by malaria infested mosquitoes...

Rated: 5/5 Reallys "It's a little out of touch, so much body armor"

Slime by David Walliams, Review by Jasmine

Ned has a horrible sister Jemima who likes to collects slimy things like boogers. She prepares a Bath of Doom for Ned, which looks like a bubbly bath but is actually filled with gross, slimy things. When Ned tries to get back at her, he ends up creating Slime -and it's alive! My favourite character is the world's most lazy piano teacher.

Rated: 5/5 Reallys "Such a good book!"
