If your football fan and a horrid boy, this is the book for you!

Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz

Reviewed by Olivia.

This book is highly interesting, although is slightly over the top with adjectives. It might suit you though!

The Spooks Stories: Witches by Joseph Delaney

Reviewed by Caitlyn.

A very good book with witches and pits. If you like this kind of theme this book is the one for you.

Back to school

Welcome back. I hope you all had an enjoyable and relaxing summer holiday. Here is your chance to tell us what books you think we should all be reading this year. Are there any new authors that you think everyone should hear about? Is there a book that you have loved that you know other people will love too? We want to know, we need to know...

At the moment, my Top Ten essential books to read in Year Six are:

1. Dragon Keeper- Carole Wilkinson (it will make you cry!)

2. The Spook's Apprentice- Joseph Delaney

3. Mortlock- Jon Mayhew

4. Foul Play- Tom Palmer (there is a series of five of these!)

5. Hacker- Malorie Blackman

6. Out Of The Depths- Cathy Macphail (very spooky!)

7. The Brilliant World Of Tom Gates- Liz Pichon

OK, that seems to be only a top seven. Can you think of three more I could add to the list?

Could someone be incredibly clever and write a Top Ten books for Years Three, Four and Five?? It would be great to put it on the site for everyone to see.

Book reviewers needed

Do you love reading? Do you read books by a variety of authors? Are you in Year Five or Six (or maybe even a bit older)? Would you be happy to share your thoughts and feelings about books with other people?

New people are needed to write reviews of the books they have been reading, and then publish them on the internet. You will be given your own password so you can log in to the site and write your reviews. You will also be taught how to add photos and pictures, and you will be given as much help as you need.

If you are interested or want to find out more, please let me know. Thanks!!

Over the last few weeks I have finished several books- the fourth Alex Rider book, the second book in the Michael Grant 'Gone' series and another book by Cathy MacPhail called Out Of The Depths (which  I absolutely loved). I have just started the first of the Young Bond books by Charlie Higson, which are about the adventures of James Bond as a boy. I really enjoy of the Bond books written by Ian Fleming, so I am looking forward to reading this series.

Enjoy the rest of the holidays.
