    Name: Valerie Christie
    29 December 2011;

    Genre: Adventure

    On first glance at the front cover of this book I was reminded of the Enid Blyton 'Adventure Series', much enjoyed in my youth.

    Skulduggery Pleasant

    Name: Alan Age 13
    29 November 2011;

    Genre: Adventure

    This series of books, despite their length, are very enjoyable. It appeals to my quirky sense of humour, and Mr. Landy describes everything very well. The few twists they have in the plot make for an interesting read, and I thought that the part about him (Skulduggery, the Skeletal mage who was...

    Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Ugly Truth

    Name: Sam Age 12

    The Great Storm of 1987, (the famous one that Michael Fish said was not going to happen), caused huge damage and created a lot of debris, but for one young lad, Asa Brown, it resulted in much more than damaged roofs or fallen trees. Whilst exploring his garden the day after the storm hits, Asa...

    Name: Natalie J.
    06 November 2011;

    Genre: Adventure

    The second in the trilogy about Tom Gates, a very funny, lively, and engaging young lad, is as equally good as its prequel. Picking up directly where the first finishes, this volume has Tom telling us about his band Dog Zombies' first gig, his weird grandparents who he calls The Fossils, his tea...
