Judy Moody, girl detective by Megan McDonald - reviewed by Jo
Judy Moody has read all the Nancy Drew books and now she wants to be a detective and solve a mystery. When a puppy form her school goes missing she decides to solve it. It isn’t the best book I’ve read – not that exciting, but still a little bit of fun.
I recommend this book for 7-9 year olds.
Rated: 3/5
This book is about kids that live in a small town. The town is divided into rich, middle and poor. The kids have a lot of adventures and also try to avoid the school bully. They also wag school and get caught in a fire. This book is AWESOME! I love adventure stories and the outdoors. It is written well I can imagine what it would be like to live in that town.
Recommended for those 12+
Rated: 3/5
Diggery and Polly, and Diggery’s Uncle Andrew go to a very old secret world called Charn. They wake up the Empress of Charn who turns out to be the wicked witch of Narnia. In this book Narnia is a young world and is just starting to form. The animals in Narnia can talk. They plant a silver apple which turns into a silver tree. Anyone who steals an apple from this tree is cursed. There is a lot of adventure and fantasy and the author has created a good picture of the other world.
Rated: 5/5
The blue lotus : the adventures of Tintin by Herge - reviewed by Che
Tintin is listening to the radio when he comes across an unknown radio station. A secret code comes through and Tintin wants to find out what it means. Tintin is warned that someone wants to kill him (the person has yellow skin, black hair and glasses). He makes his way to Shanghai where he is almost killed. I like comics and if it is in colour that’s even better! Some bits are boring because they are unnecessary and would not have made a difference to the story.
I recommend this book for around 9+.
Rated: 4.5/5

Bill Harris is a nerd who decides to frizz his hair. After he does this he is mistaken for a famous cool person called Benny Spinx. Bill is paid to impersonate Benny Spinx in an ad. But someone is after them and they both get kidnapped.It is a really, really good book. It’s well written and funny in parts. The characters aren’t boring and there is lots of information about them as well.

The shifting sands (Deltora Quest) by Emily Rodda - reviewed by Alex W.
This is a great book and series. Kids are on a quest to save Deltora. They hide in an apple farm owned by an old woman, when they steal apples because they are hungry she releases angry bees to chase them. They enter a town called Rithmere and hear about some games that are on. They decide to enter the games but it turns out to be a trap. They are kidnapped but escape. They go to the Shifting Sands and find the lapis lazuli. I liked this book a lot and the characters in it.
Rated: 4/5
