Trixie's and Honey’s friend Jim has run away. He didn’t like
his stepfather, and has also just become
the heir to a fortune.They go driving around in a caravan (trailer) to find
him. They come across a red trailer, where the family is acting weird (sad). The
daughter Joanne later goes missing too. They go to a boys camp to find Jim but
he appears to be one step ahead all the time... he is not there. They meet a lady who owns a farmhouse and other characters along the way to find Jim and Joanne. Do they find out where Joanne and Jim are?
"There are other books in the Trixie Belden series. I love how
the story is mysterious... you know something is going to happen. It is
purposeful."
Rated: 5/5 books
Andrew's dad is mad about flies. He swats them all the
time. He is also mad about table manners. Mr Spinks comes over for tea one
night. Mum agrees with dad not to say
anything about table manners. They have soup and Andrew’s slurping gets
louder and louder... their next meal is chicken... he says "I’ve got a chicken’s
bottom! and then there is baked apple with custard." Its funny when he starts
licking the fly swat, but he is only pretending there are flies on it as he bought a
new fly swat and some currants and licorice.
"This is a funny story from the 'Unbearable' short story
collection. It is not as good as the last one I read called “Lucky lips” from the 'Unreal'
collection of short stories."
Rated: 5/5 flies
In this book, Percy the demigod, now 16 years old, leads
his friends to defend Mount Olympus which is under attack by the EVIL
Kronos (who is really evil, even beyond evil!). The story is about how Percy
defends - I won’t say anymore except he
even gives away the idea of immortality!
"Percy Jackson is my favourite book. It keeps you on the edge
of your seat. I like the way it is written in the first person - Percy telling the
story - it is more involving!" This is the final book in the series as Percy has
aged from 12 through to 16.
Rated: 5/5 riptides (which is the pen in the story
that turns into a sword. Cool!)

house in the distance with mini sheds and a man shouting at people with striped
pyjamas. He hears his dad talking to soldiers and them saying 'heil Hitler'.

interesting,especially to read about what it was like during World War 2 and
the concentration camps."
Rated: 5/5
