Little Darlings



My rating: *****


My favourite characters are Destiny and Sunset because they are sisters who are totally different from each other. They also don't live together. If I had to choose, Sunset would be my favourite because she was faced with more of a struggle.


In this book, the two girls are trying to get their families together since they are half-sisters. The ending is very sweet.

The Dragonfly Pool



My rating: **


This book was not so exciting. It is based on the second world war.


My favourite character was Matteo because he was brave and independent. A part that made me puzzled was when Tally tripped over but didn't fall. Another favourite character was Julie because she was a kind and courageous person.

The Time Twister



My rating: ****


This is the second book in the Red King series with Charlie Bone.


A part that made me laugh was when Charlie was sneaking about and he heard a noise that scared him but it was just his own footsteps. My favourite character was Emma Tolly because she was very useful.


Near the end of the book, Charlie was at the end of his dangerous and exciting quest. By the end of the book my favourite character was Fidelio because he could play eleven different musical instruments.

Midnight for Charlie Bone



My rating: ****


After Harry Potter, I wanted to find another series that was recommended. My teacher Mrs Stewart told me about this series.


I thoroughly enjoyed this book because something exciting happened very early. My favourite character was Olivia because she was independent and one of Charlie's best friends.

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.
