The Worry Website

My rating: *****
After reading this book I would like to
know what Greg's worry was. In
the book each chapter was a child's worry and how they solved their problem. My favourite character was Samantha because she has the same name as my mum. My least favourite character was William because he was mean to Natasha because she could not talk or walk. This book made me think of my worry and my worry is that one day my dog will die and I am not looking forward to that day because one of my other dogs died. Her name was Bonita.

PS. I am still working through HP 5. Not long now.

Best Friends

In between two sleepovers, I read another Jacqueline Wilson book. It is called Best Friends. My rating: ***

Alice and Gemma are best friends. I didn't like the story because they had to separate from each other because Alice moved to Scotland to live. Gemma was so scared of losing her best friend because Alice told her about a new girl she met called Flora. When Gemma went to meet Alice, Flora was really mean to her. Flora said she was going to cut Alice & Gemma's birthday cake so Gemma got angry and threw the cake in Flora's face. Gemma got sent home for being naughty.

This book made me feel a bit sad because my best friend moved to Australia just like Alice.

NEXT: I've just started HP5.

HP 4


I finished reading Book 4 of the Harry Potter series today. My favourite character in this book was Fleur Delacour. She was the champion from Beauxbatons, which is a school in France for wizards and witches. She struggled a bit in the second challenge when she got caught by the grindylows. Harry Potter kindly rescued Fleur's sister for her when she was unable to do it herself.
I didn't enjoy the part where Lord Voldemort returned to his old self because the author made it sound really disgusting and he was white and had no eyes.
I enjoyed the part where Harry and Ron found out Viktor Krum was dating Hermione because Ron had never spoken to Viktor and he was a big fan and wanted his autograph. Ron was really jealous of Hermione and the author made it really funny when Harry and Ron found out.
I am looking forward to reading book 5, which is called Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

HP 3

I finished reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban today.
My rating: ****
My favourite character was Buckbeak because he was only angry when somebody said something bad about him. He is a hippogriff, which is a magical creature that is half horse and half eagle. A question I would like to ask the author is "Did you come up with the combination of the hippogriff?"
The prisoner of Azkaban is Sirus Black, and the people who guard the prison are called Dementors. They are creatures with only a slit for a mouth and they suck the happiness out of the air. In the end, Sirus Black was not the one who told Voldemort to kill Harry's parents. It was actually Peter Pettigrew, who was one of Harry's father's best friends. So, Sirus Black was going to have his soul sucked out by the Dementors, but Harry and Hermione went back in time three hours and rescued him on the hippogriff.
Out of the first three Harry Potter books, this one was not as good as the second one. I am going to start the next book tomorrow, on the first day of the new year. I can't wait to find out what Harry has to do.
