Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets by JK Rowling

Review by Ben Hallett

The story is about our main character, Harry,  suffering from the dreaded summer holidays with the Dursleys when he arrives at Hogwarts. The heir of Slytherin, Tom Riddle tries to kill him. Read the book to find out if he survives! And to find out who Tom Riddle really is...

I really enjoyed this book because it was exciting to read and I felt nervous all the way through. My favourite character is Harry because he learns how to be a wizard. My favourite part was when Harry ventures into the Chamber Of Secrets.

For ages 9-13.

Charlotte's Web by EB White

Reviewer: Olivia-Grace Richardson

This is a story of a little girl named Fern who loves a little pig named Wilbur. Wilbur's best friend is a large, grey spider that lives in the corner of the barn where Wilbur lives. The spiders name is Charlotte and she is a very clever and wise spider. Charlotte makes Wilbur very famous.


The reason why Fern has Wilbur is because her father was going to kill him because the mother pig could not give milk to Wilbur. His mother did not want him either. Wilbur lived a pretty good life and was treated with care, love, affection and respect.

This book is brilliant and you have to read it. The cover might not look enticing, however once you start reading you can't stop!

1001 Cool Freaky Facts by Glen SIngleton

Reviewed by Olivia Grace Richardson

The truth is often stranger than fiction. Need proof? In England, in the 1880's, pants was considered a dirty word. Statistically, you are more likely to be attacked by a cow than a shark. They are just a few of the weird and wonderest of the 1001 cool freaky facts!

This book is very interesting for any kid! You might look at the front cover and say this looks boring, however once you start to read you'll find out is was definitely right to buy this book

The Clumsies by Sorrel Anderson

Reviewer: Olivia Grace Richardson

When Howard Armitage finds talking mice under his desk, his life, his belonging and, most of all, his biscuit  packets are turned upside down. The Clumsies do mean well, of course. But although they went to help Howard get out of trouble with his nasty boss, they're only really good for one thing.........and that is MAKING A MESS!

The two mice, which are called Mickey Thompson and Purvis, are the main characters as they get Howard into trouble with his mean boss, Mr Bullerton, and are always causing mischief!

I would rate this book 8 out of 10 stars because I really enjoyed it and it made me laugh a lot! I would definitely recommend this book to everyone who has a good sense of humour!
