No.1 Title - C.H.I.X Author - Can't remember Date finished - 11/11/11 Rating - * * * *

This book is about 4 girls Charlie, Hannah, Izzie, Xa who are in a gang called "C.H.I.X." Which stands for the first letter in their names, Charlies place is where they all hang out, but when 4 boys in the gang "Priannahs" spy on them, when they are at Charlies house. They spill that they think that Charlies nana's hiding treasure, the boys want to have the treasure for themselves, so when the girls left they krept inside to find the treasure but what they didn't know was that the girls were spying on them and had a trap ready. SNAP! the net came over their head and they were traped. But when the boys explain and say they'll make it up to them they decide to let them free. They do, and help them clean up the big mess they made they all relize that just because they are different dose'nt mean the don't have to get along.

This book is really teen based and it's manly all about boys VS girls but they soon relize in the end that they that they're aloud to get alo ng. They are exatly like real people and the authour must have found it very differcult to wright this story (enless she/he has daughter/s) But I think the authour did a wounderful job on this book! This inspired me to try and get along with some people I don't normally hang out with.

No.2 Title - How to tame a bully Author - Nancy Wilcox Richards Date finished - 29/11/11 Rating - * *

Lauren is starting in grade 3, which she thinks will be the best year ever because, she's got the best teacher and her BFF is in her class. But she finds herselve sitting next to Bethany the worst bully at school, after the next couple of weeks bring misery and missing recess snacks but then Lauren decides to take a stand and tell Bethany how she really feels and after that things go up hill for Laren and Bethany. Even though they're not good friends they did learn something new about each other and bethany stops bullying once and for all.

I thought this book was average it wasn't very exciting and it ended very suddenly which I wasn't impressed at all ( I hate books like that ) other than that the book had a basic storyline and very predictable. What i liked was a few pictures here and there to explain difficult possions. This was a different way to set out a book than what i've normally read but it was good different. I deffenitly agree to the message "Don't BULLY" because I got bullied in primary and I hated it, but I stood strong and told her how I felt and now we're close friends. :)

No.3 Title - I am too absoulutely small for school <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Author - Lauren Child <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Date finished - 29/11/11 <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Rating - * *

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">This story book is about a girl called Lola who doesn't want to go to school but her parents want her to but shes making up all these reasons why she can't go to school ( including her amaginary friend Ben who's aparently scared to go to school ) But when she goes to school she finds it fun and she was saying that it was Ben who was scared not her.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">WOW! I have know idea why I read a story book (so not worth it) well the only up side was getting a reading log finished! I realy don't want to talk about this book cause I'd be wasting my breath. The only good thing I could say was how it was presented.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">WOW! This book surprized me quite abit, I found this book shows how much the father and Danny bond. This book stood out on the shelf and if it didn't I wouldn't have picked it and read, but I'm so glad I did. I would recommend this book to 7 - 13 year olds. I gave this book 3 stars because I't kept repeating itself over and over and anyway a good storys a short story.



<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">No.2 Title - Nanny Piggins and the Runaway Lion <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Author - R. A. Spratt <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Date finished - 23/07/11 <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Genre - Comedy <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Rating - * * * *

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">This book has lots of little stories about Nanny Piggins, Boris ( a bear ), Samantha, Derick, Michael and the hated Mr Green. My favourite story is about when Nanny Piggins is asked to join the neighbourhood watch and is given a torch and also has the need to wear a hot pink leotard while out and found the job quite boring after awhile and started spying on the neighbours. But then she leaves her torch at home and goes down the street and sees a burglar trying to steal someones belongings and it turns out it was the lady who ran the Neighbourhood Watch and the torch had a tracking divise so whatever street she was on the lady would go on a different street. In the end the lady ended up going to jail and the children, Boris and Nanny Piggins enjoyed the rest of their day eating lots and lots of chocolate cake!

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">I love most of R. A. Spratts books because she puts alot of thought into her books and I'm planing to read the other 3 of her books and I personally think that Nanny Piggins has a good sense of style and a lover for sweets, cake, chocolate basically everything sugary ( she gives the children a bowl full of sugar for breakfast. )



<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">No.3 Title - Fantastic Mr Fox <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Author - Roald Dahl <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Date finished - 06/08/11 <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Genre - Action <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Rating - * * * *

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">This book is about a family of foxes, mostly Mr Fox who goes out every night to steal ducks, turkeys and chickens from 3 rich farmers (Bunce, Bean and Boggis). After a while they find out he was taking their birds the stay by his hole with a gun each and when he came out they shot but missed and off comes Mr Foxes tail. After not succeeding they try to get them by digging with shovels but the foxes only dig deeper, so they had the idea of using bulldozers but fail. So the foxes decide to stay down in their hole because they know its not safe. After a few days of no food the go into the 3 B's store rooms and get some food to eat and after meeting a few animals along the way. Mr Fox comes up with a great plan: to build a city underground and the do and they live in peace. Even as your reading this Boggis, Bunce, Bean are still wating for them outside their hole!

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">I LOVE THIS BOOK! I find it quite amusing when Mr Fox gets his tail shot off, however it is quite violent (chickens get killed) and I would recommend this book to 8 - 12 year olds any younger and they could be quite scared. I give this book 4 stars because I had alittle trouble imagining some characters. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">But I really like the song they sing -

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Boggis, Bunce and Bean <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">One fat, one short, one lean <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">These horrible crooks <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">So different in looks <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Were nonetheless equally mean!



<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">No.4 Title - Matilda <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Author - Roald Dahl <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Date Finished - 18/08/11 <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Genre - ? <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Rating - * * * * *

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">5 year old Matilda Wormwood who has a mother and father who have absoutly no interest in their adobted daughter. But she has a amazing talent she taught her self to read at the age of 3 with magizines that are lying all over the house. But when Matilda starts going to school she sees the princeable (Miss Trunchbull) actually hates children and espesially Matilda, when she meets her teacher Miss Honey she likes going to school. After making the princeable go she discovers that she has an amazing talent ( she can move things with her eyes when she's angry. After a few ups and downs she relizes that she can be herself aroung Miss Honey and her "parents" decide to hand her over to Miss Honey to look after and they all live happily ever after.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">This book quite upsets me when Matilda's parents are being so cruel to her and I would do exactly what she did to them WA HA HA! The person I find most intresting in the story is her Mum because she loves her self completly and is a hair and makeup FREAK and i mean freak she also reminds me of someone I know! But other wise I think this book is great and I recommend this book to 6 - 13 year olds.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">This book is full of creative short stories but my favourite is called: Sucked in. There's a teacher and on her desk is a grey thing floating around in a jar and the teacher wants the students to make a story about it but they can't think of anything so the teacher makes up a story and it goes like this: Trevor sat the doctors waiting to get his apendix out and asks of he can have it in a jar to take home when he wakes up his apendix is sitting right next to him and he keeps saying to it "We must always be together". Trevor decides to take it to school and when ever he goes out of the room the apendix goes crazy and trys to get out of the jar and it does, when it goes down the street it meets a cat it went miaow, miaow, miaow and the apendix ate it and it kept saying it and it did the same when it met a dog and a rat. Finally Trevor found his apendix and the teacher said Trevor ended up eating his apendix but when a boy from the teachers class opens the jar the apendix says "we must always be togther, we must always be togther, we must always be togther"

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">AWESOME! This book is a funny combination of tricky stories and funny stories but I still love them and honestly I would never ever get my apendix put in a jar! I reccomend this book to 7 - 13 year olds (any younger than that and they might not understand.) In this book there were some stories that really got me thinking and sometimes even.



<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">No.6 Title - George's marvellous medicine <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Author - Roald Dalh <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Date finished -02/09/11 <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Genre - <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Rating - * * * *

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">George is a 8 year old boy who lives on a farm with his crabby Grandma, mother Mrs Kranky and his father Mr Kranky. George doesn't like how his grandma is treating him and sharing some of her nastly secrets, so he makes a medicine from nastly things around the house like animals pills and puts them in a pot and gives a spoonful to Grandma, just to find she's sticking out of the roof and is as skinny as a pole. When Mr and Mrs Kranky get home they see that Grandma is sticking out of the roof and they have to pull her out, but she's to tall to sleep in the house so she sleeps in the barn. The next morning Mr Kranky has an idea to make every animal huge so they could end world hunger, they try many different medicines but none of them work the way they want them to, the last one they make is a shrinking medicine and grandma mistaking the medicine for a cup of tea she drinks it and gets smaller and smaller untill she turns into thin air. For a second George had touched a magical world.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">This book tells me how much George hates his Grandma ( which always isn't a good thing ) and I think she deserved to get turned into thin air because the way she was treating a 8 year old which is unexceptable. This book got 4 stars because it felt like it was lacking abit of the story and ended abit to suddenly. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">My favourite character was Mum because she wasn't anything like her mother ( Grandma ) and she was very kind and caring towards George and his father.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">No.1 Title - Hocus Pocus verses the Stinky Pong <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Author - Laura Milligan <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Genre - Fantasy <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Date finished - 23.05.11 <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Rating - * * * *

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">This book is about a world with 12 animal shaped planets and a young witch called Luci who goes to her uncles school who all do sweet smelling wizzle pops (farts) except Luci's friend Joey and when there's a horrible stink Joey's blamed. Luci knows Joey didn't do it so they go on a mission to find out who's making this stink and they find one bad witch who looks horrible and she got teased and after some convincing she stops and she turns beautiful and it was all happy once again.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Once I finished the book I realized that true beauty comes from the inside not from the out! I love how the author told the reader how the characters get along, most of all I love the authors crazy imagination and how she describes this world and amazing people. I gave the book this much, because some people in the story were very hard to imagine and I couldn't follow the story very well.



<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">No.2 Title - The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Author - Stephenie Meyer <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Date finished - 28.04.11 <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Genre - Fantasy / horror / romance <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Rating - * * * * *

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">This crazy land full of vampires ( from the novella Eclipse ) is looking at a 15 year old newborn vampire Bree Tanner and she's in a gang of evil vampires trying to get revenge on the Cullens ( good vampires ) and the only reason she follows this mission is because, a: she'll get her head ripped off if she doesn't ( Literally ) and, b: because their leader says they've got a pet human and whoever gets to her first, that's their meal. Once she starts the mission she meets a boy named Diego and they instantly fall in love, but when Diego goes to talk to the leader he doesn't come back but the leader says he's waiting at the Cullens house. So when she gets there he's nowhere in sight ( he got killed ) and to make matters worse the vulturi came ( vampires who make sure no ones exposing themselves to humans ) come and they're scared that someone might have seen them and tell her that they will have to kill her.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">WOW! I love this book It's full of action and lots of killing and blood which I normally hate but some how I like this book. My favorite character would have to be Bree because she gives everything a go and is full of creativity. I love all of Stephenie Meyers books so far because there is so much action and because she has an amazing ability to use very descriptive vocabulary which make you feel like you are there.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">No.3 Title - Viola Vincent Reporting <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Author - Anna Kenna <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Date finished - 01.05.11 <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Genre - Action <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Rating - * * *

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Viola Vincent Reporting is about a girl called Catlin and she goes bike riding with her mum, up a hill and some bikers come the other way, and the next thing she sees is her mum doing a somersault through the air and lands on her back ...... a trip to hospital and back later her mum has seriously injured herself. Catlin thinks its the bikes fault but no one believes her so she teams up with a journalist to set the story straight and finds out her aunt is a famous journalist and pushes her to stand up for what she believes in. With a bit of help she finds out she was right all along.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">This book has a very valuable message - fight for what you believe in. The only reason I gave this book 3 stars is because I'm not interested in mystery / action and after a while I got a bit bored. I would recommend this book to people who don't mind waiting a long time to get to the best part and people who are very patient (not me). My favorite person in the book was Catlin's Mum because even though she had a very bad injury she still got out and did things and never complained but most of all she still looked after her 2 children in a wheelchair.



<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">No.4 Title - The Wind Singer <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Author - William Nicoholson <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Date finished - 01/07/11 <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Genre - Fantasy / action <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Rating - * * * * *

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">The wind singers all about the Hath family. Hanno Hath (dad), Kestrel Hath (daughter), Bowman Hath (son), Pinto (baby), and they live in a place called Aramanth in a district called Orange and there’s other districts like Maroon, Scarlet etc... White is the most wonderful place to live and Grey is the worst place to live and the Hath family live in between. Quite a lot of time they do exams and the first one starts when they’re 1 and if you do poorly you move down to Grey but if you do well you go to White. Kestrel and Bowman don’t like this and there’s a myth that if you got the Wing Singers Voice and that brings peace to the land. Together they set off with a boy called Mumpo (who goes to school with them) and have to avoid a few obstacles in their path but end up getting the Wing Singers Voice and once again bringing peace to the land.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">There are lots of different messages in this book but the one I quite like is Fight for your Freedom! And I would recommend this book to people who quite enjoy reading fantasy novels and are sometimes up for action. My favourite character is Bowman, I love how he deeply cares about and understands the feelings of others. He is a likeable ,caring person but is also a bit afraid of life like me.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">This is about a orphan girl named Sophie who gets taken out of her window by the BFG ( Big Friendly Giant ) and she thinks that he’s going to eat her but then he explains that he’s a good Giant and what he was doing outside her window ( blowing dreams into children’s windows and they dream that good dream he blows in ). It took a little while to explain this because it was quite impossible and in his own unique way of speaking he said "I is the only nice and jumbly Giant in Giant Country! I is THE BIG FRIENDLY GIANT! I is the BFG." And they go off to stop all the other Giants from gobbling up little kids and in the end they end up getting the Queen involved and lots of other people but in the end they still stop them.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">I gave this book four stars because sometimes the giant was a bit hard to understand with his funny language but otherwise I loved the authors descriptive writing and imagination. I don’t have a favourite character because I like them all and the way they look and you feel like your right there in the book with them.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">No.6 Title - Nanny Piggins and the Accidental Blast Off <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Author - R.A Spratt <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Date finished - 04/07/11 <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Genre - Comedy <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">Rating - * * * *

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">This book is about an amazing talking pig who used to be in the circus, but she took a job as a nanny for 3 children (Dirreck, Samantha and Michael) and has a passion for cakes and chocolate. This book has lots of different scences and different story line like bunjy jumping off the top off the roof into a pool with elastic from Mr Greens underpants, wrestles with a crocodile, catches a jewellery thief which turns out to be her twin sister and lots more. But my favourite one is where Nanny Piggins is asked to fix a NASA space rocket but ends up blasting it up into space.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">I recommend this book to people with a good sense of humour and around 9 - 13 years old, and people who like books where animals can talk. This book had alot of wacky ideas in the story and a lot of cake and chocolate invovled once I was finished the story. It left me laughing only because of the authors amazing ability to describe what Sarah's like (Nanny Piggins).
