My haunted house (bk. 1 - Araminta Spook series) by Angie Sage - reviewed by Jo
This book is a little bit funny. There are different bedrooms for different days of the week. There is a key in Sir Horace's left foot (which is Araminta's Coat of Arms). Araminta Spook finds the secret door and goes on an adventure, lets loose her Uncle Drac's bats and gets up to mischief.
Rated: 3 - "I have read better books than this one!"

Careful what you wish for by Maureen McCarthy - reviewed by Emma
Ruth receives a talking rat from her aunty, called Rodney. She then loses the rat and her life gets worse, but she does make friends with a boy that most people think is weird. A year later she finds her talking rat and he grants her 3 wishes, but it comes with a warning not to linger on her wishes for too long. I have to read it for school bookclub but I like it even though I thought it wouldn't be that interesting. It's for Grade 5 and up.
Rated: 4.5
It is a long adventure book. I picked the book because he is the same author that wrote the Percy Jackson series which I liked. The main characters are Carter and Sadie, whose father is an Egyptologist. When their father accidently blows up an Egyptian museum he unleashes 5 gods onto the world. The evil god plans to destroy the world, and the good and bad guys are all after Carter and Sadie.
Definitely rated 5! - "I love this sort of book because it's full of action and adventure. I read 39 Clues by the same author so I wanted to read more!"
Dog by Daniel Pennac - reviewed by Alex
A dog is looking for an owner. He finds out that people aren't as easy to understand as he thought. It is told from Dog's (his real name) point of view.
I got it for my birthday and so far it is interesting and I will keep reading it.
Rated: 4
This series follows generations of the Cat Clans. The stories mostly are about how the cats survive in the forest and fend off other Cat Clans. In this book they also reunite with a lost branch of their clan.
Rated: 4.9 - "I like the series because the cats are civilised!"
Neighbours (The Floods series) by Colin Thompson - reviewed by Jade
The Floods are a strange family. The parents are Nerlin and Mordonna and their seven children. When their neighbours The Rents steal from them, The Floods use all their magical power to show them that they better not mess with a family of wizards and witches.
Rated: 5 - "Very funny!"
