    Genre: Friends and family

    I like this book because when omri gets the cupboard and puts the Indian figure inside he has no idea that it is magic and soon develops feelings for little bull (The Indian).

    Genre: Adventure

    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.

    Genre: Humour

    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...

    Genre: Personal Growth

    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...

  • The Adventures of the New Cut Gang

    Thunderbolt and the Waxwork

    Name: Jessica Age 11
    18 July 2013;

    Genre: Mystery & Detective

    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...

    Genre: Books set in the past

    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!

  • The Wall

    Genre: Representation & Inclusion

    I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, as although being emotionally charged and poignant at times, it has also many cryptic and hidden meanings and symbolism, which add depth to the characters and story. Through Sutcliffe's intense description, I have come to understand what life is like f...

    The Wall

    Name: Chelsea Age 14
    22 April 2013;

    Genre: Representation & Inclusion

    The Wall is a seat-gripping book full of anticipation and adventure, but it also captures many moral issues. It is based on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, and the political aspect may make this book sound incredibly boring, but only makes the book more interesting, as not only is Joshua on a...
