This is Melina's first attempt at fantasy fiction and I just loved
it! If you like magic and kingdoms and good against evil you'll love this
book! A kingdom is trapped in a dark spell for a decade and Finnikin and
his companions must find a way to break the spell. 8/10 |

The Red Cardigan is a mysterious, somewhat eccentric novel. Its
celestial nature intrigues readers from the very beginning. It is a
fantastic book, as is its sequel, Nine Letters Long. I would recommend
this novel to anyone over 11. |

Crack in the line had a really interesting plot that was much more
creative than most other books I have read. The idea of the book was
unique with two kids in seperate realities, one a boy, the other a girl.
It was exciting and I'm going to finish the series. |

James Bond's school is Eton. Mark Goodenough, James's friend,
family disappers at sea. James find a secret society at Eton. Their symbol
is a 'M' on each hand. In a place called Sardinia a man called Ugo builds
himself a fortress. James Bond goes on an action-packed and dangerous
journey. This book has 372 pages...I finished it in like three days....I
could have finished it less time if I had more time. I rate this book
10/10!!! I can't wait till I get to read Double or Die and Hurricane Gold.
A book for older readers...such as 12 +....if you have a good reading
ability you might be able to understand this ... Blood Fever is the second
in the Young Bond series. |

Brigands MC is the latest installment in the CHERUB series. It is
fast paced and is full of action. It is easily the best book in the series
so far. I thoroughly reccomend this book to others. |

This is the third book in a series. I would only recommend it to
12 + as it has some gory details and some very tragic bits. As I LOVE
READING and am very good at it (at a teenage level, assessed by a Brighton
librarian.) I love the book and I am a little bit past half way in the
fourth and last book of the series. There is a prequel though. The book is
very complex. If you think you can handle these kinds of books, get up go to
your library and borrow it now! |

This is the best book i have ever read in my whole life anyone
from year 7 and up will love this maybe not as much as me but you won't
hate it. I recomend it as a book to read. I also like it because it is a
true story. There is also i sequel called Chinese Cinderella and the
secret dragon society. |

It was a really good and interesting book. It is recommended to
readers that like realistic fiction and people that like to read about
girls that are dealing with their ordinary life. Its really good! I read
it in 1 hour and a half because I couldn't get away from it! |

Faking Sweet is an emotional novel, directed at teenage girls. The
characters are easy to relate to, as is the plot. Faking Sweet is a great
novel, and i would recommend it to girls aged 12 and over. |

I like horse stories and this one is about a boy. It sounds like
a real story and not the usual "horsey" book. It is also about being
yourself and having a dream that you want to do. |

The Fall of Reach is a dramatic story of how the home world of the
Master Chief was destroyed by an enormous covenant fleet. It also tells
the story of when the Master Chief trained with the other 200 Spartans
when the UNSC initiated the Spartan 2 project. I would recommend this to
any Halo fan because it shows untold stories of the Halo trilogy. Plus its
jammed packed with excitement, action and captures you till the end. |

This war must have been really horrible. This book tells it like
it was and what it must be like to be a sniper. From a street-fighter to a
crackshot sniper. But war is not glorious. |

Cheney is 17 and has lived his life on a spaceship looking for a
new planet where they can live in peace. When the ship collides with
something in space, they are now inside a living thing. Under attack from
the machines that have become cells and antibodies of the ship, Cheney and
his friends have nowhere to hide and no hope of survival unless they can
outwit the ship's massive system. This is a real thriller, not just for
Sci Fi fans. |

Children who murder other children make big news headlines, but
what happens to them after they are released? What I liked was that this
is a story about bravery and seeing things from an unusual perspective as
the main character has to go on the run again. |

Northern Lights starts off with a bang and continues all the way
till the end. There are so many twists and turns and just as you think the
book has finally reached an ending another problem pops up. The first
chapter introduces the main character "Lyra." Lyra and her daemon
(pronounced like the english word "demon". Daemon is an animal that EVERY
HUMAN has)Lyra walks into the retiring room where she is not allowed to go
and spys the Master putting posion in one of the guests, Lord Asriel's
drink, which also happened to be Lyra's uncle. Lyra warn Lord Asriel while
the Master had gone. She spys in the wardrobe while Lord Asriel explains
to the Scholars about his expedition. Then a rumour starts to go on that
"Gobblers" were taking away children which was true. A beautiful woman
with a golden monkey as her daemon captures them and sends them away to
the North. Lyra's friend, Roger is taken away. The woman's name is Mrs.
Coulter. Lyra goes and lives with Mrs Coulter and when she finds out she
is one of the gobblers she runs away. Before Lyra went, the Master gave
her a golden compass which always tells the truth. Lyra is then taken in
with a gyptains. The book is so long, I can't explain it all. The things I
have explained is only the beginning!!!! Read it. A well deserved 10/10

It is a great book about a boy and the relationship he has with
his father. It shows that even in tough times you can still pull through
with the encouragement and love from your family and friends living around
you. I think it is a great and fascinating read. |

A good book for teens, rather than kids. It is a book about a
made-up country named San Sombrero, and acts as a guide to the country.
Very funny, although it has a lot of crude humour. (13 years up) |

This book really lets me know what life was like for convict
girls. She is sent to prison in London and then sent on a convist ship to
Australia. Just as well she is a strong girl. The trip is really awful -
the boats stink and they are treated badly. She is a real heroine. |

Tom has narcoleptic attacks and sleep is his enemy. But can he
trust his mind. His whole life has been a lie..and what about the
medication. It is a sleeper conspiracy. An exciting book with action
and problems like Alex Ryder. This is book 1 of a trilogy too. |

I absolutely loved Sold. It was a sad story about the horrible
parts of this world. It shows that through courage, determination and a
little hope can change a nightmare into almost something too good to be
true. I couldn’t put it down. |

Starfish Sisters is an inspriational novel. It deals with issues
that real girls face - not just fictional ones. Starfish Sisters is a
fantastic book, as is its sequel, Ocean Pearl. I would reccomend this book
to anyone, especially girls, over 12 years old. |

Normally i don't really enjoy reading. My mum tries to make me
read, but i refuse. So she said if i manage to read a book in a week she'd
pay me. I thought it would be impossible, but i really got taken by this
book and read it in 5 days! My favourite book I've read so far. (which is
quite a few believe it or not...) |

Gunno(The main character)is a 'criminal'. Whenever he gets some

credit card, wallet or a book he wants to read it may lead him to a
misterious death......... A great book for teenagers, loving a thrill. |

The story is set in a future world which has been disturbed by an
earthquake event known as "The Big Shake". The only place where people can
apparently live happily is called Eden, but only the Genetically Improved
(known as "Proovs") are permitted to live there. The story begins with
Spaz discussing his adventures with an old man called Ryter, a young boy
called Little Face, and a young Proov girl named Lanaya, whom Spaz met in
a trading market. |

The media's adage "Never let the truth get in the way of a good story" is tested throughout this novel.Emma's story is interesting albeit at times infuriating.
Emma, aged 17, spends many months hiding out in her University Professor's house and embarks upon a relationship with him.Her story is told in interviews with a male journalist.
Suitable for ages 15+ |

any super model and are eerie, queer; aleinlike. She is facinated by

Alice, tall, graceful Rosealie and then - (drumroll please) comes EDWARD
CULLEN AHHH SCREAM! he is sooooooooo gorgeous! She cannot understand what
they are, so determined to uncover Edward's dark past, soon finds out he

stake .... Please please please read this! Edward is kind of scary, but
BEAUTIFUL! (I love him!!! He's mine so there! Hee Hee hee hee Haaaa!) You
must read the whole seris i am guranteed you will love it!

~~^^ Great book! for older readers as there are some "dirty"
scenes and "coarse language". The book revolves around Emma, a nanny to a
rich man's daughter, from there it evolves into a world of magic,fantasy
and gods. Sounds pretty boring...who needs gods?....its the best book i've
ever read! 10/10 KYLIE!! |
