    My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece

    Name: Rosie Age 13
    26 October 2010;

    Genre: Friends and family

    I loved this book because it is one of the few books that have made me cry. Yet it still has an uplifting theme of hope which carries you through the sad moments. I couldn't put this book down but not because it is action packed, not because it is frightening and not because its exciting just bec...

    Name: Cameron Age 14

    It is the best book in the world :) and it has a gripping plot. The characters are unique and they also have their own individual backgrounds. This book is ideal for teenagers for both genders. The language is relatively simple. There is a lot of action in it to make you not want to put the bo...

  • Pretty Bad Things

    Pretty Bad Things

    Name: Rosie Age 13
    14 October 2010;

    Genre: Real life

    I personally loved this book. Whilst it is quite grown up with lots of sexual references and a swear word on nearly every page it has a lot of character and you cannot put it down. The story is constantly gripping and you can really feel everything beau and paisley are portrayed to be feeling. I...

  • Reckless

    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...

  • Stolen

    Stolen

    Name: Rosie Age 13
    15 August 2010;

    Genre: Young fiction

    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...

  • Fallen Grace

    Fallen Grace

    Name: Iffath Age 13
    29 July 2010;

    Genre: Books set in the past

    Poor Grace has been through so much, having to sell watercress on the streets to survive, as well as looking after Lily, who's not capable of looking after herself. She was smart, admirable, and quite fierce at times. Lily was a sweet girl, the fact that she relied on Grace (a lot) made her sound...

  • Jane Eyre: Introduced by Celia Rees

    Jane Eyre

    Name: Rosie Age 13
    25 June 2010;

    Genre: Books set in the past

    I loved this book because it is nothing like I've ever read before. It's almost an entirely new language so it requires quite a lot of deciphering but once you get into the swing of the language you can really enjoy the thrilling and gripping story line!!! Give it a go and you won't regret it - a...

  • Where I Belong

    Where I Belong

    Name: Joy Court
    05 May 2010;

    Genre: Real life

    This is an outstanding book from a multi-award winning author, that perfectly captures the interconnectedness of modern life. It is dealing with the big issues of poverty and justice but in an entirely non-patronising or sermonising way. Khadija may be an illegal, economic refugee from war torn a...
