My Name is Mina is about, of course, a girl called Mina. Mina is different, she doesn't think like other children and always ask why. She sits in her tree in her garden, and either writes thought down in her journal or stares at the wonderful creation of nature, especially...

The Invisible Hero is NOT just about Philip. It is NOT written in just Philip's point of view, but it is written as journal entries from everyone in the class. The blurb is very misleading, don't be fooled. The Invisible Hero is though about Philip and his...

Torn is about Alice King and her best friend Cass who take a trip out into the Scottish wilderness. This trip of a lifetime, changes their lives forever, but not in a good way. A practical joke for revenge much needed goes terribly wrong, and destroys the lives who in...

The Strange Case of Finley Jayne is a great introduction into the world that the main character of The Girl in the Steel Corset lives in. I read this book before I started the main title, and felt that it was pretty awesome. I was really confused when they talked...

I think that this was great fun to read. I enjoyed reading this book, it wasn't really sad and depressing as some books try to be, but it makes you laugh and is just amazing. The misunderstanding with the shoes, and with Stanley ending up in a juvenile detention centre...

Timeriders begins with the 'death' of the three main characters, Liam, Maddie and Sal. Sal was saved from a collapsing building in slow, dying future, Maddie from a plane spinning out of control, and Liam from the bowels of the sinking Titanic. These people are saved by a man from...

Out of all the history books that I have ever read about this point of time, this one shines above them all. It has the facts, the details and the tactical errors, but it also has that little bit more. I have searched through tonnes of World...

I had chosen to read this book for my English class, where we will have to do activities based around the characters. The theme was meant to be fantasy, and I had so many fantasy books just sitting on my shelves. I thought that it was maybe time to try...

A Wizard of Earthsea is about a young magician from the Archipelago. The name his mother gave hims was Duny, but his true name is Ged. A Wizard of Earthsea is all about his journey from when he learnt his first magic trick, when he got his wizard name Sparrowhawk,...

This book is different. Different to all the other books that I have ever read. Firstly, it is narrated by Death itself. That's something I have never ever seen before, and I was done in the most perfect of ways. Secondly, this book...

I have not read that many World War Two books yet, the ones I have are mainly about the Jewish and what Hitler did to them, but I haven't really read that much about Russia and the countries surrounding it. All I really know about Russia in WWII was that...

When I started reading this book, I thought the names and the style of life that these people led seemed similar of that of some vikings. The names of the characters: Halli, Aud, Arnkel and Snorri, looked impossible to pronounce. I guess this worked in the author's favour: ...

I would like to say that this book was amazing, but the characters didn't connect with me, not that it was bad, and the plot just didn't grab and pull me in. My friends were all in love with this book, but I do not really see the reason behind...

I thought that this book had a great plot, with the idea of some excellent characters. But the writing style destroyed these amazing thoughts, so they could not be appreciated to their full extent. The words that were used seemed so genuine and complicated that in...
