October Reviews from Albert Park

In this book the boys (Andy and Terry) are making a movie. Bur Mr Big Shot kicks them out of the movie and gets a monkey called Mel Gibbon to act instead.
Andy decides to write and autobiography but it doesn’t have anything about Terry in it because he has a new best friend. Andy gives up writing the book because it is too hard.
There are also cows spying on their movie to steal some of their ideas.
And in their treehouse there is an area called Andy land which has lots of awesome Andy’s in it (not like the real Andy).

Rated: 5/5 Reallys "It’s very funny but also a little bit easy and hard at the same time to read. I think it’s very funny!"

The Circus by Olivia Levez, Review by Emma.

This book is about a girl named Willow who runs away from home to join the circus. She wants to join because her mum used to be in the circus but then her mum left the family. Her dad is a multi-millionaire and has a new young family and doesn’t feel wanted by him.
Willow learns to walk the tightrope and juggle at the same time by a homeless girl who has also joined the circus.

Rated: 4/5 Reallys "The only reason I didn’t give it 5 is because it is a little predictable; in that she is from a wealthy family but doesn’t get the love from her dad and then runs away to join the circus. But it is exciting."
