Boring! This book is boring because It has to much information. This book is like a dumb kid writing a book about stupid things. 6 step must never be in a book because 1. It may make your reader bored 2. It may cause a headache. So never choose six step.

My favourite book is garden of the purple dragon. My favourite part is when the dragon says"fatso" there was also a bad guy and he the newsmanser. But he was always caught by the guards.

The book garden of the purple dragon is amazing. The part when the newsmanser tried to kill the dragon scared me but Ping summon the Qi power. It was great.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a great book that everyone should know and read. Charlie was an unlucky boy due to poverty but that was soon to change. Luck could be as easy as opening a bar of chocolate. The amazing author Roald Dahl wrote this book, along with some other very well known books too. Read this book and join Charlie on his weird and wonderful journey through a magical place. This book is so delicious you would want to eat it. If you start reading the book you wouldn't miss it for the world!

Lord of the flies shows you what happens when boys are left alone (parent advice). This book is called lord of the flies (duh) and this masterpiece is writen by William Golden.

Lord of the flies is about how these young boys are stranded on an island with nothing but there wit and there will to survive. The kids start out normal but overtime they turn into savages.

I love this book, the storyline is so interesting and it's kinda scary. In my opinion the book suggest that boys can get crazy without adults. The book left me astonished and I would suggest to read it because most high schools use this as a book report topic.

"Get into gear , Stilton !"


Are you ready for a cheezy story ?The excellent creator of this book is Geronimo Stilton.He has written a ton of fantastic books,these books are all fiction.Including this wonderful book.

As we all know,there are antagonists,but unfortunately this has none.It might seem kind of boring to you.....But you are mistaken,this is a story about a silly mouse who gets in trouble 'coz he's tardy,easily distracted and definitely clumsy.Speaking of those ...... Oh yeah! This This is why I love this book.But the favourite part of mine is when Geronimo (main character) is crossing the road when he noticed his shoelaces were untied he bowed down to tie it but suddenly the lights went green.He was hit by a car and went flying off.How's that for a book?

"Get into gear , Stilton " is very entertaining book.This is also very fascinating , it explores science and other stuff.This kind of reminds me of my old friend who is as clumsy as Geronimo is .

Are you into mysterys? Do you like ghost? If you said yes, then this is the perfect review for you! If you said no, then go away! No just keep on reading! The book is..... Rania! By Randa-Abdel-fattah! This this is a fun fiction book and a chapter book! I hope you enjoy this review!

I really love when Rania and her friends make cupcakes for school captain! I also love how Rania gets lots of purple stuff. Like earrings, necklaces, clothes and so much more! Ok, enough jiba jaba! Now let's take a look at the characters! There is Rania of course! Jodie, Deyanna, Charlotte, Mum, Dad, Uncle, Aunty, Betty the ghost girl, Aundraya, Charlottes minions and jamal. Wait! There's more characters! But if you read this book, you can find out the rest.

This book is a really fun entertaining book. Why? Because it's fun trying to figure out what Betty the ghost girl was trying to say in the book of you. Rania gives you possibilities of when of what to do for school captain. This book has affected me by giving me lots and lots of ideas. In some parts it left me wondering. But I just had to turn the page and find out!

This is an amazing book. I love it and if you read this book, you will probably think the same! I definitely recomend this for a friend which is a girl who likes ghost. Rania is an awesome, amazing, fun person who is very creative! I give this book a 10/10 and 6 stars! If you like ghost. This is the perfect book for you to read!

Sophie and the shadow woods

Sophie and the shadow woods is a series of books. These series of
books of fiction books are written by Linda Chapman. Linda has also wriiten my secret unicorn, stardust, not quite a mermaid, unicorn school, genie and lots more. It was Sophie and her brothers 10th birthday. They live with their grandpa in a small town. There is a forbidde forest behind there house. In Sophies family someone becomes a gateway guardian. It is usually a boys 10th birthday when they are granted the guardian of the forest gateway. It was either Sophie or her brother Anthony. I felt the book was very interesting because you dont know what was going to happen next. My favourite is when they discover who the guardian is. Sophies grandpa thought it was Anthony but it could be sophie.

I was so interested in this book. The author of this fabulous book is Jeff Kiney. Jeff Kiney has wrote numerous diary of a wimpy kid books. This fiction book is highly engaging and humerus. I highly recommend this book for readers.

Crawling through the drain pipes to avoid Fregley, writing New Years resolutions for his family and trying to find a new best friend are only some of my favourite parts of Diary of a wimpy kid. Greg tries to avoid embarrassing moments with his parents gets in trouble because his relatated to Rodrick and is blamed for doings of his three year old brother.

Diary of a wimpy kid is an addictive book that many people can relate to. Knowing the awkward positions Greg gets into makes want to laugh an keep on reading. The entire collection of diary of a wimpy kid have many complications you just have to read.

This book is called goosebumps birthday party of no return. I think this is the best book i read so far infact it is! It's a chapter book.The aurthor is R.L. Stine.

The main character is Lee, the other characters are Corey, Lauren and miss Anderson. They're at school and in a birthday party. Lee is trying to get the scholarship, But there was a birthday party so he went to the birthday party of no return.

The book is really intresting because lee has a vulture claw that gives him goodluck and the claw is actually alive. He was trying to find out how to get out of the birthday party

This book is a excellent book to read. so go to the library an find this really great book.

Read this,yea i'm talking to you!
Don't look now, is the title of this spectacular fiction book written by the marvoules paul jennings, paul jennings made Don't look now a series book, there is four Don't look now books. He also made alot of other quirky books

Don't Look Now is about a boy named Rickey and he can fly, but he only can fly sometimes. He trys to fly infront of people so he can become famous, but he always ends up making a fool of himself. he lives in a normal house near his rival, Mandy Chow.

Don't look Now has alot of humor in it. It is interesting to read about Rickeys quest to become famous.I think paul jennings is trying to say don't give up on anything you belive you can do and belive in yourself. After i finished the books, i started jumping around trying to fly, but i failed.

I would recommend the book one hunderd cuboards only for the people who are intrested in horror and mystery.I think it's similar to Harry Potter because both of their parents died and both of them are a mystery.Very rarley I get scared of horror movies and books. The book one hundred cuboards is a chapter book with over 200 pages and this book Is obviously fake! Henry suddenly needs to go to the bathroom and there's an oldman with a purple robe brushing his teeth how strange he thought Henry,enry is a good guy in this book he lives in a strange book i was deveasated how Henry's parents have like always been dead imagine if your cuboards were really doorways

Do you want to learn some new spells? If you do read Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. The author of this book is J.K.Rowling. She has also written all the Harry Potter series, Quidditch through the ages,Fantastic beasts and where to find them and the tales of Beedle the Bard. This book is a fiction book and it has 22 chapters. I recomend this book for children 8 and over.

Harry Potter learns that sirius black isn't the bad guy. the bad guy is actually Wormtail. Wormtail can turn into a rat, so he escapes Harry very easily. Learn new spells. Such as defensive, illegal and helpful spells.

This book is very entertaining and high quality. I think this because Harry escapes dying about five times and well, lets face the facts everyone likes abit of action. The main theme Is to be coragous. This is the main point because as I stated in the second sentence of this paragraph Harry narrowly escapes death about 5 times. You have to be couragous to have done that. Don't you? The book affected me by making me want to be able to do magic. I think being able to do magic would be awesome. The book made me realise that everyone is coragous in their own way.

"it was now or never","they started firing","use whatever force is necisery".Do you know what all of these quotes have in common. They all come form the same book. The Death Cure. The author of this amazing book is James Dashner.James Dashner has written many more books like The Maze Runner,The Scorch Trials,The Fever Code and many more. This book is also a fiction and chapter book.

So the story is based in WICKED or WCKD for short.The end of The Scorch Trials both groups were captured and are in WCKD.WCKD is now trying to restore their memories but something goes teribly wrong.They find them on the run and have to sacrafice things on the way.

The Death Cure is very intresting and exciting,mainly because after each chapter it ends really good,but you don't want it to end. When James Dashner wrote The Maze Runner i don't think he intended it to go worldwide.His books have had a very big effect on my life and i wouldn't change a thing about that.

Do you want to read a funny but stupid book? Well I'll tell you one! The title of the book I'm reading is Captain Underpants. The person who wrote this book is Dav Pilkey. He has made other books as well. For example, well... it's actually just more Captain Underpants books.This book is a fiction book with chapters, if you were wondering.

The main characters of this book are two boys named George and Harold. Harold and George make comic books about a superhero named Captain Underpants. George bought a hipmotise ring and hipmotised their school principal Mr Krupp, into thinking he was Captain Underpants. Also now since George bought the ring and hipmotised their principal, he becomes a main character. The good guys are the people who I just talked about and the bad guys are, ok there are just heaps of bad guys and I don't want to say their names. It always begins at Harold and Georges school. The time is at anytime of the day oh and also night.

I think this book is a super interesting book, even know it's dumb. I don't know why I like it but I like it. Its funny as well. Well this is it for my book review. Ba-Bye!

'Diary of a Wimpy Kid : Long Haul"

Are you tired of reading boring books?Well if you are this book is the one for you.It's a very funny book.Diary of a Wimpy Kid:Long Haul is created by Jeff Kinney.He has written a lot of Diary of a Wimpy Kid series wich are very hilarious.These books are all chapter books.

Many of us know that the main charachters are Greg Heffley and his friend Rowley.My favorite part was when they stayed at a hotel and he slept on his brother's socks and he keeps saing to himself that what was smelling so much not knowing he slept on his brother's stinky socks.

This is a hilarious and instructive at the same time.It's like a dister going over and over again so that's why I like this book.

Girls do yo like girl action books? Well this book could be the book for you. EJ12 is a series of books on adventures and challenges. These books are written by Susannah McFarlane. These are fiction books and she has also written Little Mates and EJ12 spy school.

My favourite book out of the series is EJ12 Time to shine. It's my favourite book because Emma jacks doesn't think she is smart enough for an exam at school but she is. She works for shine agency and tries to defeat shadow the bad guys.

I find EJ12 interesting because what's the "bad guys" shadow going to do to stop shine getting in their way of there plan. This book series made me think is there actuall kids who are spies.

You wanna know about aliens ? If yes, well why don't you read geronimo stilton's book ice planet adventure. It was created by geronimo stilton(maybe,maybe not). He created more than 100 of books. It's a fiction, and a chapter book.

There were no bad guy in the story.The aliens just wanted trazillium.My favorite part is when they went to Astral park. It was pretty cool.

The book was interesting because they were discribing the character and htey hook me in alot. Their were a few problem. It was that the aliens wanted trazillium and proffesservon fur was missing.

Have you ever felt like prancing someone who has pranked you? Roald Dahl's, The Twits is a wonderful read which is perfect for those Roald Dahl readers since he has written other books like Charlie and the chocolate factory and the BFG.

The Twits is about two characters who are Mr Twit and Mrs Twit who both are rude and ugly people. The play pranks on each other day and night without stopping because they are no good rotten TWITS!... Anyway these twits have a family of monkeys who is forced to be upside down all the time and do tricks because Mr Twit thinks he gonna be famous because of being the first upside circus. The monkeys don't like doing this and on top of that they have to watch poor unsuspecting birds stuck to a tree with hug tight glue because mrs and mr twit have bird pie every Wednesday. The monkeys try to warn them but they don't speak English so they still die. Then one day a rocky poly bird who understands english and the monkey talk come and changes the playing field.

This book was cleverly written making it a book to remember which is possibly raises the question. Should we be allow to eat birds wild or not? And if not should we give them right?

An inescapable town, stupid rules, you die if you break those rules, these are the few of the things in this book. This book is called Pines the first book in the Wayward Pines trilogy and its writin by Blake Crounch. This chapter book will leave you hanging after every chapter.

This book is about a man name Ethan Burke who was in a car accedent, now he's trapped inside a town and he can't contact his family. No escape except one way, death.

I thought the book was very mysterious. It always left me hanging to read more and I like when I don't know that much (Chris quote). All the answers will be revealed in the next book (I think).

Dragons, dragons and yet even more dragons. You just can't have enough dragons in this book. The second last book of the Deltora Quest series is a novel full of action . It is officially called Isle of the Dead and is written by Emily Rodda (aka Jennifer Roe).

Deltora is finally free from the Shadowlord, however he has left seeds of destruction , the 4 sisters. Due to their sorcery Deltora is not alloed to grow vegeation and is slowly becoming a barron wasteland.Lief, Barda and Jasmine are on a perelious quest to destroy the 4 sisters. So far 2 sisters have been destroyed and they are approuching the Isle of the dead can they survive? It seems impossible...

Iwas sencerily enterteined by this book. As the other Deltora Quest books anything was possible from a giant chicken with a killer insinct to a ressurection. I couldn't stop till I got to the end which is when I realised I must get the last book the sister of the south

Kooks in the cafeteria

why read anything else. this book is by .... Timothy Roland he has not made any other books this book is a fiction, chapter book.

When Guy falls asleep in math class he was sent to the principals office the principal sends him to the kitchen but cooking for 500 people is harder then he thought but as he makes a new friend Molly they make to threw together.

This book is entertaining so if you need a laugh you know were to look, it gives you funny jokes little wriggles and pretty good comics.The only issues that there not a lot of descriptive words .
This book can relate to global issues such as falling asleep in maths class using mash-potato as a excuse and cooking for 500 people.
