Reckless
Name: Rosie Age 13
07 September 2010;Genre: Fantasy
I'd recommend this book because it is both fast-paced and extremely descriptive all in one. You travel into the mirror world with Jacob and feel his worry for his brother, his excitement at the world around him and the darkness of the mirror world. Clara is my personal favourite character because...

This book takes patience to really enjoy it. The story line is slow to start but once you get into it it is impossible to put down! The description is great and you can really get into Gem's mind so you always know exactly how she feels. You will be fascinated to experience life through her ey...

Give it a go and you won't regret it - a...

X-Isle would suit Young Adults, both male and female, but is 'grown up' enough to capture the attention of the adult fantasy world. It's fast-paced and thrilling, making it an easily enjoyable read.

Why the Whales Came
Name: Georgia Age 8
07 March 2010;Genre: Historical Fiction
I loved in this book and how, at the end, fabulous Michael Morpurgo only then explains about the whales. That's when you finally find out about the dying whales. This book is my best book yet and it gets five stars from me. Gracie was just like my character in real life. Always waiting for anoth...

I wouldn't really recomend this book as the events are static and all the events move along too slowly.
