Wolven
Book Cover:
Author:
D. I. Toft
What was your favourite part of this book? Why?:
Woody is the last of his kind - a Wolven, Nat takes him home and the adventure begins. My favourite bit had to be when Nat and Woody were running through the forest, getting chased by Angelo and Vincent Spaghetti (were- wolves) because the detail of the spine chilling howls and the terrifying undergrowth was amazing.
What there anything you didn't like about this book? Why?:
I had nothing I didn't like because it’s a really exiting book to read from start to finish and I was so engrossed in it that I couldn't put it down.
Would you recommend this book?:
Yes I would because its a fantastic book for 9 and ups and it is exhilarating to read and therefore it would be the perfect book for the library or at home. Keeps you interested from start to finish with thrills and spills along the way.

Fly Cherokee Fly
Book Cover:
Author:
Chris d'Lacey
What was your favourite part of this book? Why?:
It had to be when Dazza told the bully that he could no longer hold him by blackmail because the story made me feel better and the whole story felt as if it came alive.
What there anything you didn't like about this book? Why?:
The thing that I didn't like was when Danny started to get bullied because it made the whole story feel sad at that point and that was the dilemma and it wasn't really something bad it just made me feel sad.
Would you recommend this book?:
Yes because it gave you emotional ups and downs and when the story was sad the next day I felt sad. I would give this book to years 4 and up because younger children wouldn't get the story line

Case of the Missing Honey
Book Cover:
Claire Freedman
What was your favourite part of this book? Why?:
There are many funny characters in this book including Inspector Clue-less, Tricky Dicky, Sneak the Beak and Mr Squid - each character has a funny name and picture in the book. My favourite character was Nabbit the Rabbit because his name is really weird! My favourite part was when Fingers the Frog went to a frog hopping contest! My younger sister also enjoyed it and said it was very funny. The characters give a lot of details about themselves which tells you what kind of person they are and the names add to this.
What there anything you didn't like about this book? Why?:
There wasn't a lot of description in this book, but it is for quite little ones in KS1 so that is probably why.
Would you recommend this book?:
I would but only for children in Key Stage 1.

Book Cover:
Author:
The Beastly Boys
What was your favourite part of this book? Why?:
The part when Ulff finally turns into a werewolf - it is exciting and intriguing.
What there anything you didn't like about this book? Why?:
It was a bit easy however I am in year 5, so I would say Year 3 and up. Sometimes I wanted to see a different illustration in the book, to show where the other characters were because the description was minimal at times.
Would you recommend this book?:
Yes it was quite exciting but the description and detail of the plots could be better.

Tail-End Charlie
Book Cover:
Author:
Mick Manning and Brita Granstrom
What was your favourite part of this book? Why?:
I enjoyed all of the book but the best thing about it was when Charlie was eating the frozen chocolate whilst having a dog fight (A dog fight is where two pilots are shooting bombs at each other, one is a German pilot and the other is a British pilot.)

I didn't like it when Charlie got bombed and I thought he was going to die, but the twist was that he didn't die he only fractured a rib.That was a bit yucky!

The Red Pyramid - Playaway
Book Cover:
Author:
Rick Riordan
What was your favourite part of this book? Why?:
The end because it turned a different way that I never thought about and the description was amazing at this point. WARNING - there are lots of Egyptian monsters in this book!
What there anything you didn't like about this book? Why?:
There wasn't a point in the book that I disliked but sometimes the chapters were too long. Also when I pressed pause (this was an MP3 playaway book), you lost a couple of seconds of story.
Would you recommend this book?:
Thought you'd never ask yes its completely full of action and adventure and mystery. Boys would like this more because there is loads and loads of fighting
