Black Beauty is an autobiography of a horse set in the late 1800s. It is a coming of age story and the book takes the reader through the horse's life. It is interesting to read because it helps teach people about animal cruelty and the way people should take care of animals.

This book is about a girl named Sophie documenting her experiences in World War Two.

This one is quite dark! I wouldn’t say it was a read for anybody under the age of fourteen or fifteen (unless they have the obvious maturity to be able to deal with it) because of the dark romantic themes in it. It was also a great read, and a excellent insight into what the lives of some people daily is like - essentially, its about a girl who is reflecting on her memories with a boy who painted her blue - in more ways than one.

These were musings from a narrator who had little wishes for the person they loved. It was beautifully written, which was why I immediately felt attached to it - it was more about the quality of the writing than the actual physical content. It was a gorgeous story, and I think it can be related to by basically everybody whose ever felt unrequited love. I would recommend it to anybody whose a teenager to gain full understanding of the novel.

Another short! I seem to have an affinity with them. This one is rather profound, so I wouldn’t recommend it to anybody who wasn’t a teenager. It’s vague, but there are mentions of mental health related topics which can be triggering to some audiences. I connected with it personally, which is why I enjoyed it so much, but it may not be everybody else’s cup of tea! It can be read by anybody whose a teenager, but I wouldn’t recommend it to anybody who doesn’t have a =n active interest in reading about things like that.

A rather cute, fluffy short about two lovers who never got the chance to love together. It ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, but nevertheless it was enjoyable and I loved seeing the vivid descriptions provided. There isn’t any content which shouldn’t be made available to anyone of any age, so I would recommend maybe fifth grade and up (IF they know how to handle a romance theme).

In this book, many famous fairytales which include women as the female characters, are changed. They are changed so that the woman are not always the damsels in distress, but their own people who can make their own choices. This book is extremely poetic, and can be hard to understand at some points, but is worth it because of the deep understanding it gives its readers about the past and the history of how women have need treated over the years. I definitely recommend it to people who like fairytales and poetry.

Blood Brothers (Audiobook Version) by Willy Russell

# data[].attributes.subject
Blood Brothers (Audiobook Version) by Willy Russell

# data[].attributes.body
Blood Brothers was written by Willy Russell and in more recent times, the book has also developed into a West End musical production. Set in 1960's Liverpudlian England, the book tells the story of Mrs. Johnstone, a lower-class single mother of 8, struggling for survival and pregnant with a set of twins. In desperate need of money, she cleans for upper-class Mrs. Lyons, a woman with a strong desire for having children, although unable due to her infertility. Fast-forward into the book Mrs. Johnstone gives one of her twins to Mrs. Lyons to be raised by her, and so the twins are separated at birth. Many years later the two children intersect, playing together although not permitted by Mrs. Lyons, scared that they would discover the truth. Many years later, Mrs. Lyons twin (Edward) becomes a very successful councilman, while Mrs. Johnstone's twin (Mickey) becomes redundant from his factory job and faces homicide charges after an unsuccessful burglary. The book ends in an extremely dramatic manner in which the two boys discover the ugly truth, just too late!

This was an amazing book, one of my personal favourites and I really look forward to watching the musical as well. It shows the effect of education and class on two different sides of the spectrum. The ending is my favourite part of the entire book, lacking no dramatism and really leaving a mark on the reader. I would recommend this book to musical/play enthusiasts but definitely to a Grade 8 and above audience, due to some inappropriate language and connotations.

No One Is Too Small To Make A Difference (Audiobook Version) by Greta Thunberg

# data[].attributes.body
No One Is Too Small To Make A Difference is a book written by teenage Swedish activist Greta Thunberg including a handful (11) of collected speeches made by Greta in Global Climate Meetings hosted by World Leaders. All of her speeches involve the grave threat climate change poses to the Earth. She warns of the potential consequences of climate change and works to inspire change in humans across the world to help stop climate change. The book is a rallying cry for why we must all wake up and fight to protect the living planet, no matter how powerless we feel. Our future depends upon it.

I listened to this book on my way to and from school everyday for a week, and gave me an unexpected motivation to change. At times I did feel Greta's expressions caused some anxiety but for good reason too. I would recommend this book to people who are interested in Greta's story, but you must be quite strong mentally to be able to take some of the phrases and statistics mentioned in the book.

Moonwalk is the official autobiography of Michael Jackson, detailing his short-lived buzzing life in his own words. Michael talks about his memories as a child and recalls his earliest successes with The Jackson 5. He talks about his life from a young age living in a small home in Gary, Indiana with his 11 siblings, performing all kinds of pranks, to being signed by Motown and performing in their first tonight shows. Moonwalk gives an inside look into Michael's life both on and off stage as seen from his perspective, also including a mini photo-album from his most cherished life-moments.

This book was amazing and sometimes, due to Michael's storytelling, a real page-turner. I was astonished to realise how 'normal' the King of Pop truly was and this book offered a testimony of his true character, offering a new viewpoint for me. I would recommend this book to Michael Jackson enthusiasts and people generally interested in autobiographies.

Every Falling Star was written by Sungju Lee and details the true story of how Sungju (the main character) survives and escapes from North Korea. Sungju Lee was a normal 12 year old boy, living in Pyongyang with his high-ranking military parents, and dreaming of one-day becoming a general in the North Korean Army. One day, Sungju's father hurriedly came home and announced that they will be going on a 'permanent vacation' in another area in North Korea. They were sent to an impoverished area, lacking facilities, and with no source of income. Sungju's father and mother left to find food and money and never returned. This book presents Sungju's survival living on the streets, stealing and fighting alongside his gang, whom he called 'brothers'.

I very much enjoyed this book, as it gave me a deeper insight into life in the mystery that is North Korea. The stories were so captivating and its amazing to be given these memoirs from someone who actually experienced life in North Korea, instead of the stereotypical Western media. I would recommend this book to a teenage audience or simply someone who is interested in finding out more about North Korea.

A sad romantic short story with undertones of deep topics like mental health and growing up/recovering from the loss of a loved one. Eric and Justin - the main protagonists - embody the feeling of loving and losing perfectly, and the narration by Justin makes it that much more heartbreaking.

The ending was such a plot twist! It follows the story of a lottery that happens annually in a town of a mere 300 people, and the prize was not at all what one would expect. It has a  backbone of morality, but it makes you weigh the true definition of what’s fair, what’s considered good luck, and what’s considered bad luck - and whether those meanings we’ve defined for ourselves should change. I would recommend it for the whole of secondary school - sixth grade and above. It really is compelling, though some may find it boring, because of the slow tension build throughout the course of it. All in all, though, quite compelling!

TLNOFTW isn’t a conventional book in the sense that it challenges you to think about things if you were put in the situation. The plot is about a married couple who have two children, who find out that the world is ending that night. They have a discussion about what they would do the last night of the world, and come to some very profound truths about it that still apply today (it was written in the 50s). It makes you think about what you would consider important if you knew you only had one more night - and how that reflects on you as a person. I recommend it for anybody looking for some food for thought - but maybe nobody below fifth grade.

Signs and Symbols is quite a captivating read! I personally enjoyed it quite a bit, though the narration could get rather slow at times. It was written in the 40s, so some language might be a bit too formal for younger readers, and some content might be a bit too mature (a theme in the book is mental health, and another is misfortune). I would recommend it to anybody who feels they have the capacity to understand it, but not to a primary student - I’d say the minimum age would be ten or eleven. To summarise without giving away anything, its about parents who have a son who has referential mania . . .  heavy, but so compelling!

This book was written by Darren Charlton. It follows the perspective of Peter, who grew up in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombies. He lives in a community of survivors on a series of small islands in a large lake up  North. This location is great during summer, as the "restless dead" cannot cross the water. However, each winter the lake freezes over, allowing them to cross into the safe zone. During the book, Peter tries to help prepare for winter and prove his worth to the community (with the help of the village golden boy Cooper). But the safety of Wranglestone is not what it seems.

Think and Grow Rich was written by successful businessman Napoleon Hill during the 1930's, after interviewing 500 of the most influential people of the time. It presents 13 key principles to creating and living an enjoyable, purposeful, and successful life. The book explains the stories of people such as Thomas Edison, Henry Ford and Andrew Carnegie, displaying the qualities and habits that led them towards their successes.

I very much enjoyed this book, and have now listened to it twice. The book offers many take-aways and life-lessons, which aids in the development of each individual and achieving their goals. I would recommend this book to an older audience of young-adults, looking to form life-long habits and a persevering ambition to succeed.

The Book of Longings is the newest book from my favourite author - Sue Monk Kidd!

This is a fictitious story which follows the life of a bold young woman Anna, who defies social conventions of Israel 2000 years ago by learning to read and write - GASP!

She becomes a gifted writer, shunned by her wealthy family when she refuses to marry an old, wealthy man that they have chosen for her, and who insists she give up writing.

She faces a lot of hardship in her life story as she becomes the wife of Jesus Christ, supports his ministry and watches his persecution and crucifixion.

It is imaginative and bold in its approach,  viewing Biblical events through the eyes of a woman and a fantastic story!

This book was one of my favourite books as it told the stories of 3 men one fighting on land, one on water and one in the air during world war 2. I cried multiple times during this book which is one of the reasons I love it unlike a lot of other books I’ve read. this one was truly sad as they had to watch as the people they loved around died around them they suffered a lot but managed to make it back in one piece physically but shattered mentally.

I would really recommend it as it was easily my favourite ‘non fiction’ book and one of my favourite books ever. There is a lot of gore, pain and loss in this book so I would recommend it to anyone around 11 and over.

The straw hat crew find them selves on a island with 11 other pirates. They explore the ‘island of trees’ saboady and have to find and rescue their friend camie the mermaid from being sold off in a human auction. They must save their friend, fight the marines, and escape.

This is the saboady arc from the one piece manga I am currently really enjoying this series and would recommend it to anyone around 10 and up.

I adore the hilariously funny Aisling series by Sarah Breen & Emer McLysaght. This is the third book in the series and our protagonist, Aisling, leaves her home town in rural Ireland to work for a cosmopolitan party planner in NYC. Hilarious from start to finish!

In Lang and lit grade 7 have been reading a this over, the book really interests me as the character Scrooge grows into his character, he stars off as a mean stubborn man, that only cared about money, throughout the book Scrooge slowly grows morals and goes form being a monster to becoming an actual person. In the book Scrooge is visited by 3 ghosts to try and change him to become better.

Nought Forever is a short story which is part of the Noughts and Crosses series by Malorie Blackman. I found it interesting, though (no spoilers) it can get rather sad, as it mentions heavy topics like drug usage, etc. I would recommend it for anybody with the maturity of an eighth grader, but the plot itself is simple - a young boy shows up shot at the doorstep of a woman who lost her child. Does the woman take him in, or does she turn him in instead?

The book tells the story of 4 high school kids, framed for the murder of a classmate. The story brings the audience on a roller coaster of events, mentioning the different ways that the characters have been impacted by this tragedy.

I enjoyed the suspense this page turner created, as the mystery of the murder slowly unfolds as you read on.

I would recommend this book to anyone in the secondary school.

It’s a short novella we’re studying in class, but I’ve also looked up the full version online! It’s terrifyingly intense, but I would recommend it to anybody in eighth grade or higher to gain full understanding of the story. Not to spoil it, but the vulture eye sees all . . .

Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me by Mariko Tamaki

Freddy Riley and Laura are the main characters in this graphic novel. Evident by the title, this story is about the relationship between the characters Laura and Freddy. Similarly to the Heartstopper series, it is about an LGBTQ relationship, although the storyline differs quite a lot to Heartstopper. I enjoyed reading this graphic novel as not only was the storyline interesting, but the illustrations in it were really beautiful! The story talks a lot about feelings relating to relationships, so it's interesting to learn about the main character's (Freddy's) perspective.
I would recommend this graphic novel to grades 9-12 as the storyline is quite serious, but would recommend it to those who enjoy reading about romance or social problems/issues?

Three cheers, secret seven is a great book and I really enjoyed reading it. It was a bit slow at times, but the mystery was amazing and there were a lot of plot twists including one at the end. I really like the fact that is portrays that kids can solve complex mysteries. Overall, I really enjoyed this book.

No memory of his friends, no memory of his parents. Nothing, nothing except his name, Jason. Chaos erupts in the world of demigods as a new evil is on the brink of awaking (literally). We see familiar and not so familiar faces. I'd rate this book a 4/5 as it's very interesting to see all the characters work together. I recommend this book for kids who like long books because this book has a LOT of pages but it is all worth it.

The time has come. Percy's birthday edges closer and closer. Preparing for the final stand stands Percy, his friends, and campers from Camp Half-Blood! Every mistake could have grave consequences. Losing can't be an option in this situation. This book is filled with heart-wrenching moments.

This book is filled with so many twists and unexpected moments. All I'll say is, it's a book made to make you doubt every decision Percy makes. This book is a 4.5/5, absolutely phenomenal! I recommend this book for people who love a good adventure!

Every second that passes the Titan's army grows stronger and stronger. With the pressure continuously landing on Percy's shoulders he has to prepare himself for destiny. The camp's safety is at risk when they discover the Titan's army planning to attack and invade Camp half-blood. In this book we see Percy stepping into the role of full-on hero. I enjoyed this book because you can see the relationships Percy has made evolve and become stronger. One mistake could end it all.  I rate this book a 4/5 because it is really exciting and you live the story. I'd recommend this book to children over 10 or 11 because it does include some scary or frightening scenes. To those who like adventure books, this is a series just for you!
