I put this book in my special reading box for the children when they have the time to do some independent reading in my Year 3 class. I found that the boys were very against picking up a book that was so 'pink' and 'girly', however the young girls in my class enjoyed following the adventures of E...

I thought that the beginning wasn't as good as the end. If it hadn't of been the class reader and I had just picked it up and read it on my own after about 10 pages I would of put it back down. If it hadn't of been for the ending it wouldn't have got the 2 stars I gave it. At the end, surprise...

I like the part when the queen eventually finds out her son is made of clockwork and she goes mental. It is very scary at some points, like when the bartender Gretel was nearly killed.

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 liked this book because it is quite emotional and you keep wondering what is going to happen next. I would rate this 5/5 stars because it is interesting and wants to make you read more. I would recommend this book to 11-15 year olds since it would not be suitable for ages under 10 because it...

I like the fact that when they find out that the sniper (someone who is making false coins) is in their town and they want to find out who it is. Everybody thinks that Thunder Bolt's dad is the sniper because he is working on an invention that nobody is allowed to know about and he is good with...

I liked the amazing descriptions, the quirky characters and the shocking discoveries. There's nothing I don't like - except this brilliant book should be longer!
