    This book is just great, ideal for any young historian! I almost wish I was back in Primary School myself; a project on the Ancient Romans using a book like this would be easy.

    Genre: Animals

    What a lovely book! The first thing that struck me were the illustrations in green and yellow, with their echoes of Dr Seuss. Seuss-like too was the way the story meandered and rambled through various unlikely scenarios, and yet it somehow still had one paw in reality. As I am used to reading bo...

    When a princess - who doesn't want to be a princess - swaps places with another girl at her school, it starts a lot of dramas. There are lots of things happening and the girls get into trouble A LOT. I'd love to read another book in this series!!!

  • Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow Book 1

    Nevermoor

    Name: Azra Age 9
    15 January 2018;

    Genre: Adventure

    I liked this book because it's a mixture of all the things I like in books like fantasy, mystery and magic and adventure. It's a bit like a jigsaw puzzle, you have to find all the missing bits as you read and then it all makes sense at the end.
