Apology

Dear Fans,

I am sorry that I have not posted my book reviews for a few months. Life got busy you know how it is. From today I will be posting a review on every book I read. Or at least I'll try to :)

Just to catch you all up I will quickly list some of the books I've read and recommend. I have read a lot but these are my top picks. Happy reading!

Midnight

My rating ***

The book was about a girl called Violet who has a complicated life. She has a brother Will and a love for Casper Dream, an author who writes about fairies. She meets a new friend Jasmine who falls in love with Will and kisses him. Violet runs away and meets Casper Dream for real. She then goes home. To her surprise she finds out that Jasmine wanted to be her friend, not just because she liked Will. She also discovers that she had a real brother called William who had died as a tiny baby. Then her mum adopted Will to try and replace her missing son. Violet's grandma let the story loose  about Will being adopted.

I think this book is really a three sided story. One side is Violet's, one side is Casper Dream's and one side is Violet's family. My favourite character was Jasmine because she was rich but not a mean show-off like some other rich people. She also smells like jasmine flowers and I love jasmine scent.

One part I didn't like was when Will put Jasmine in an attic which had loads of weird bats in them

Third Year at Malory Towers

My rating ***

This book is the third book in the series. It was about Darrell who comes back to Malory Towers and meets the new girls. Their names are Bill, Zerelda and Mavis.

The book was exciting, funny and tragic because it had a lot of activities going on. The tragic bit was that Bill's horse Thunder had colic. Bill and Darrell were up really late trying to enable the horse to lie down so that it wouldn't die.

My favourite character was Bill because she was crazily in love with her horse. She never thought about anything else but him.

The Silver Brumby

My rating *** 1/2

This book is about a mare called Belbel and she had a foal called Thowra for the wind. Her best friend also had a foal on the same day called Storm. They had  journeyed away from the herd to have their foals and then had a long journey back with their young foals.

I liked the part where Thowra rescued Golden from the men. Golden is a golden mare who shines in the winter snow.

I really liked this book because of the way it was written. It was written in the way where sometimes it was from the horses' point of view and sometimes from the men's point of view. It was very interesting to read two sides of the same story.

Ronia, the Robber's Daughter

My rating: ****

This book is orginally in Swedish and it has been translated into English. It is a very daring and brave book.
It is about a girl called Ronia and she loves going into the forest. One day she meets a boy called Birk. My favourite part of this book was when the "rumpenisse" started talking to Ronia and kept saying "why?".
I have watched this movie in Swedish, and I really liked reading the book.

The School Story

My rating: ***** (and a half if possible!)

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I couldn't stop reading. I read it all in one day.
My favourite character was Natalie because she was a good listener, reader and best friend. I also liked Zoe because she always talked people into doing what she wanted done.
In this book a sixth grader wrote a book and it got published secretly. The girl who wrote the book was Natalie and her agent was Zoe Reisman.

Stargirl

My rating: **

My favourite character was Stargirl of course because she was independent and fearless. A part I liked was when she played the ukelele. A character that I disliked was David because he was really mean. A part that made me feel sorry for Stargirl was when everybody left without her.

ASOUEBLS ~ Book the First ~ The Bad Beginning

My rating ****1/2

The main characters are Sunny, Klaus and Violet Baudelaire. Violet is the oldest, then Klaus, then Sunny. My favourite was Sunny because she was the smallest and the cutest. She was also very brave. Sunny at one point was in a cage dangling from 100m height.
Violet, Klaus and Sunny's parents died at the beginning of the story, so they have to go and live with their great uncle.

Second Form at Malory Towers

My rating: *****

My favourite character in the second book of the series was Ellen because she was worried about not doing well in her tests. A part that made me scared was when Mary-Lou was holding on to life on the edge of a cliff. Luckily Daphne rescued her. A part that I liked was when Darrel thought she foind her purse but she found a rat instead.

First Term at Malory Towers

My rating: *****

My favourite character was Darrel because shewas brave and independent. In this book Darrel is new to Malory Towers and gets into a lot of trouble. Darrel is not the only new girl, there is Gwendoline and Mary-Lou. Mary-Lou is shy and helpful. Gwendoline is mean and selfish.
