My review for The IMAGINARY By A.F Harrold.

Wow, what a great book!

A brilliant story unlike anything I have read before.

I 'imagine' everyone (aged 9+) will enjoy this amazing adventure.

It is wonderfully illustrated, giving the 

characters even more depth.

Chillingly scary at times but also 

funny, especially when rudger is imagined 

as a girl! 

I didn't know what would happen next and 

this kept me reading. I was stuck to it like 

gum on hair!

Rudger is a boy bought to life by Amada's imagination.Together they 

play,having lots of imaginary adventures.Until one day they meet 

Mr. Bunting and a real adventure begins !

Mr.Bunting survives by eating imaginaries.He chases Rudger and

 Amanda through a car park and Amanda gets knocked down by a car.

They become separated when she is taken to hospital and 

without her Rudger begins to fade(he needs her to imagine 

him in order to exist).

The story is about Rudger trying to get back to Amanda 

before he fades completely,or before Mr. Bunting gets him.

If this book was a film I would be on the edge of my seat as it is so new 

and exciting.

"Crack your imaginations out for this one.......you are going to need it !"

I rate it 5/5

My review of The Borrowers By Mary Norton.

A great read for all of the family, young or old.I loved it!  

  I really enjoyed reading this book with my family. 

Although it is an old book.I am glad Puffin books are releasing some older stories again.

 It is about a tiny family called the Clocks .They live under the floorboards behind the kitchen clock in an old house.

Everything they need they get from the house above them .The story tells of their adventures as they struggle to survive.

My favourite character is Arrietty who is 12(like me)because even though she is small she has a big impact in the story and was funny too.
When she meets the boy, next to the cherry blossom tree ,she acts as if she is ten times bigger than him but he is the giant!

My review for The baking life of Amelie Day. By Vanessa Curtis.

A story about a young girl with cystic fibrosis , who loves to bake. She is thrilled to get invited to take part in the " best teen baker" competition in London , but is she too ill to travel ?

When Amelie is invited to London to take part in the " best teen baker " competition her mum says no , because Amelie has cystic fibrosis.Some days she is fine and some days she struggles to breathe.This worries her mum.
It's difficult for Amelie because she needs daily physio and has a lot of pills and medicines to take.

She sneaks to London on the train without her mum knowing!!!
My favourite character is Amelie because she is very determined and nothing will stop her getting where she wants.
I like the story because it is easy to read and very descriptive while dealing with a range of emotions.It has also given me an idea of what it is like to live with cystic fibrosis.
I liked the recipes throughout the book.
I agree that this will appeal to readers of 9+
