HP 7

My rating: *****

I could not stop reading this book because it was so exciting. It was a bit scary because Voldemort tried to find and destroy Harry Potter. It was the most thrilling book I have ever read. Does Voldemort die or Harry? Read on to find out...

HP 6

My rating: ****

My mum finally finished all the HP books and has let me start reading the last two books.

A part that made me upset was when Dumbledore died. I was surprised because I thought Dumbledore could not be defeated by a death eater. I was also surprised to find out that Severus Snape was the half-blood prince.

When You Reach Me

My rating: *****

I read this book very quickly because it is quite short. I really enjoyed this book, especially the part where it mentions A Wrinkle in Time, which I read before.

The Magician's Nephew

My rating: ***

My favourite character is Polly because she is trying to make her sister believe in Narnia. Unfortunately they don't but Polly does not give up. She is kind and caring.

Heroes of Olympus

My Rating: *****

My favourite character was Piper because she was a duaghter of Aphrodites (goddess of love). My least favourite character was Khione because she acted nice but she was actually on the bad side.

Something I would like to know after reading this book is did they ever find Percy Jackson?

I felt scared when a cyclops called Phobion came alive and was 60 feet tall. A part that made me laugh was when Piper ate a tofu burger and found out the tofu was uncooked.

In this book, the prophecy was "childre of lightning, beware the Earth, The giants' revenge the seven shall birth, The forge and dive shall break the cage, And death through Hera's rage". I really like this prophecy. I can't wait to go to the library tomorrow to get another book out.

A Wrinkle in Time

My Rating : ****

This book is written by Madeleine L'Engle. My favourite character was Meg because she was a kind and courageous character. She saved her brother, Charles Wallace, from a fearsome, ugly, red pond dragon.

The author wrote about three characters whose names made me laugh. They were Mrs Who, Mrs Whatsit and Mrs Which.

Meg might look ugly but she was a lovely kindhearted character and she was a sweet person.

I read this book while on holiday in Sri Lanka.

The Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davies

My Rating: ***1/2

I got an Amazon Kindle for my birthday on Thursday. My mum downloaded 5 books on it for me. This is the first book I chose to read.

My favourite character was not one of the main characters (Jessie and Evan) because they were mean to each other. Instead my favourite was Megan because she was kind and she had a lovely personality. The book is about Jessie and Evan both wanting to have lemonade stands so they make a bet. On Sunday they will count their money and whoever has the most gets to take the losers money.

The most interesting part of the book was how Jessie and Evan tried to cheat and make each other lose. In the end they decided to make it a draw because there was only 89c between them. They also gave the money to an animal shelter. I liked this part because at my birthday party I didn't want presents but donations to QAWS, the local animal shelter.

The Lottie Project

My rating: **** I'm now back to reading some Jacqueline Wilson books. This one is about a girl called Charlotte who is studying about the Victorians and has to do a school project about them. She decides to write diary entries as if she was a Victorian. Every experience she has she relates to Lottie, her fictional Victorian character. For example, when Charlotte's mum started dating a man, she wrote in her diary that Lottie thought her mother could be dating a new man. She wrote that Lottie became a maid in a Victorian house. Lottie would travel by carriage and wear old-fashioned clothes. I thought this book was interesting because I don't know so much about the Victorians.

The Demigod Files

My rating: **** So, I found this in the library. I was hoping that this would be a whole other adventure with Percy Jackson. It was just three chapters and facts about Percy. It also had his summer report. I learned a few new things about Percy. For example, I found out he was rubbish at archery, he only got a C, compared to sword fighting where he got an A+. I also read that Percy, Thalia, and Nico were the only three demigods who the biggest prophecy could be about. This is because they were all born after the big three (Poseidon, Hades, and Zeus) decided that they would have no more children. Whichever child turned sixteen first, is the one who the prophecy would be about. It was not about Thalia because she turned immortal, nor was it about Nico because the demigods worked out that he was actually born before the rule was made. He was put in a hotel where time passed but he did not age. So, it was all about Percy Jackson. The prophecy was a decision that would either kill the gods or make the gods more powerful.
