Do YOU, yes YOU, Wanna be the master at chess!? Do you wanna conquer them all? Well... You can learn how to do all of those things in "Chess: be the master"

This book was published by Ray Stone
Other books I'm not sure about
Type of book is a chapter book and a E-book

My most favourite parts about this book is that it teaches you strategies for beating people, combos and how to play & use combos and moves that Chess Grandmasters use.

This book is very interesting to people who are interested in playing Chess, as it is very important for people who are just starting, because they can even learn what all of the different chess pieces names and how they work or attack.

My issues with this book aren't much. The only problem I have with it is that Ray Stone could've explained deeper into some facts, like combos and strategies.

This book has changed my mind about chess. I used to never like chess at never even tried it, but after reading this book I changed my mind and started to play chess.

Have you ever travelled back in time in a wheelie bin?Have you ever met your descendants?mIn the 65-storey treehouse Andy and Terry do, along with inspector bubble wrap. This book was published in 2015 it is a fiction book and the author is Andy Griffiths has written the 13,26,39,52 and 65-storey treehouse and other books.
Andy and Terry need a permit for their treehouse and unfortunately they don't have one, so they try go back in time to get a building permit, however inspector bubble wrap accidentally goes with them.
I think the book was entertaining because sometimes there were funny parts, like when Terry nearly gets killed by Andy but always gets interrupted.🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄

Do you like witches or do you not, tell me you do and i'll give you whatever you want. Just joking i'm not a witch only girls can be witches, the book i'm reading is called the witches and the authors name is Roald Dahl. This book is a fiction book and this author has written other books like The Fantastic Fox and The Magic Finger my favourite part of this book is when the grandma is smoking a cigar telling the boy about five kids who went missing or appearing and turning into different things. The main character is a boy and the setting of where the grandma is telling the stories is in the living room. I think you should read this book because it's interesting how it is funny and scary at the same time.

Have you ever had a foreign person stay at your place?
Eric is written by Shaun Tan and was first published April 1st 2010 by Allen & Unwin. Shaun tan has written various other books all which are fiction.

Eric is a little foreigner that prefers to live in a pantry then a guest room, when Eric chooses to say his goodbyes, he leaves a gift inside the pantry for all the other guest to see.

This book is memorable because of how unique and odd the book is.

Have you ever felt a time when you feel like you are lost, not knowing what is happening and you forgot your memory? Well meet Thomas. He has all of this feelings. The author is James Dasher. And it is a fiction book.

The main character is Thomas. It took place somewhere in the world in a maze. A related book is the fever code.

I think this book is interesting because it has tons and tons of problems which wants me to continue the story and solve it. There were problem like they're stuck In a maze that no one has ever solved it in 2 years. There are bigger problem like Thomas, ably, Minho were trapped in the maze and they were about to be attacked by the Grievers.

This book has lots and lots of Descriptive languages makes me want to read

Imagine going all the way from Germany to England in a suitcase then a year later the nazis come and bomb England, so you have to get on a boat and come all the way to Australia and keep your true identity a secret. Pennies for Hitler is a book by Jackie French, published in 2012. She has written over 140 books, such as 'a waltz for Matilda', 'Nanberry', 'Tom Appleby Convict boy', and so many more. This fiction book has 42 chapters and is 311 pages long.

Georg loves Germany, and after finding out that has the "perfect" head he loves it even more. Georg goes from one country to the next leaving more and more behind. Finally he reaches Australia, where he meets his foster parents, they're son is in the war. He meets a girl who calls herself mud, who just happens to be the niece of his foster parents (her brothers are in the war too), so they meet up a lot. He goes to school like a normal child, but he doesn't feel normal. will he ever find his parents or will he just keep running further away from them.

This is an amazing book. When I read it, I felt like it was happening right then and there. I really enjoyed the book and I would read it again and again. The best thing about this book is that Jackie French describes everything in detail so it is easier to imagine. Pennies for Hitler is a Phenomenal book, I liked and I think you would too.

Nikki wants to help her friend Brandon to pet sit a puppy. Only one puppy have one really huge responsibility.
"my parents said I can't keep a one puppy" Nikki said
she said that a brand new carpet she can't keep one puppy. then the puppy can go to Brandon's house and Nikki is puppy free now.

this book is a funny book. when I read at the first time it fell my happiness grown up but she a teenager. until now this is my favorite book and also I can try to draw the characters. I read it every time when I am a bad mood. I really like it and I hope the girls at year 6 would like it

Figgy In The World
Figgy has two problems one is her name.Nobody in the whole country has that name.The other us her grandma Ama is ill and needs special medicine.She can't do much about her name but she can do something for grandma ama.She will go to america and bring back the medicine,and Kwame,her special goat,will go with her.

“Figgy in the world” is a wonderful and emotional book written by Tamsin Janu was published in June 2014.While it's a chapter book it is also a fictional one.The author has also written”Figgy and the president”etc;

I think the message across this book is trying to say that “Even if you fail it's okay,because you will always make more errors”and figgy us courageous though she lives in a small Ghanaian village,has an ill grandma Ama,friends and cousins who are only 8-10,while still a child with no experience with the outside world she wants change!”Figgy in the world sort of relates to the hunger games because everyone is fighting for something and so is Figgy.

This book has a few hooks i guess,but it's not really meant to be a humorous thing to rear as it is a fictional book,but what really Got my attention was how the information,texts,key points and words all come together so well and smoothly though at the end what surprised me the most is that Tamsin Janu made it very intense full And it was so motivational to just read on and on.The most important things that stood out is that was mainly the point which was most likely to be “too many people are dreaming but not living or believing.We need to be more positive and supportive.And surely the main message is to never be afraid to just have a go and try,like people say the world is your shell and you're the pearl!
