    The second in the trilogy about Tom Gates, a very funny, lively, and engaging young lad, is as equally good as its prequel.

  • Forgive My Fins

    Forgive My Fins

    Name: Jess Age 13
    06 May 2011;

    Genre: Friends and family

    It isn't the normal book that is about at the minute (there is no mention of vampires or werewolf's). You get really stuck in the book quite easily, after you want to know what is going on in the Lily-Quince-Brody, love triangle. I found it really good, quite addictive in the end!!!
