I liked it when at the beginning Gary Boon talks as if everything is a joke. When the talent show is 2 weeks away, he is told by his parents that if he can go through 2 weeks without telling a single joke then he will get another $100 and so he gets the 1st prize and goes without telling a joke...

I found that the story line was very dramatic and entertaining while at the same time grim and emotional. I truly felt sorry for Conor but I cant really say I can relate to him. The Monsters Stories are fairy tale-like, but unlike any fairy tale you have ever read! They are twisting ,deceptive...

A Monster Calls
Name: James Age 15
03 May 2012;Genre: Mental Health & Wellbeing
The plot is fairly fast paced and engaging because you are always intrigued as to the nature of the monster's next visit, and what he will further reveal about his purpose. Furthermore, the 13-year-old's eerily returning dream is shrouded in secrecy for the majority of the book, which, subsequ...

This book is very funny and has a big slug in it who burps and shoots sparks from his tentacles. Superfly is the hero but Midge does all the work.
