Horrible Histories

Reviewed by Alex.

Horrible Histories is a book of histories. Its motto is 'History with the nasty bits left in'. There's Smashing Saxons, Woeful 2nd World War and lots more, so if you watch the series, read the books!

Kings were thrown out and the people ruled themselves-that's called a 'republic. But the Romans decided one strong leader was better for smashing other people, a fact from Ruthless Romans!

Lily Alone by Jacqueline Wilson

Reviewed by Caitlyn.

Lily Alone is a super and fantastic book... This is a vital book if you enjoy adventures. Also how everything happens at once is just intriguing. Sometimes it repeats itself, however theres always a TWIST. If I were to rate it stars out of 5, I personally would give it 4.8... An absolutely amazing stunning book.

If seen in a library I highly recommend to book it out before anyone can get their fingerprints on it!
