Rating: I would rate this book 4 out of 5 stars. I really enjoyed this story, it was interesting and captivating. However, I found the ending was a bit disappointing, that is why I am only giving it 4 stars.

Target audience recommendation: I would recommend this book to girls aged 10-13. It is a great coming of age book about new love and understanding how the online world works.

The genre: romance, drama, pre-teen

Interesting facts: This book is a great read. It is the first book by Zoe Sugg who is a popular Youtube sensation known as Zoella. It is aimed towards young girls as this is her main audience.

Favourite part of the story: There are parts in the story where Penny is given some advice and there is some good information to help or improve your views. The story is quite romantic but sometimes quite dramatic. It gives you a taste of the life of a blogger and also how you could face online bullying.

Recommendations for other similar books: Girl Online is part of a series, the other books in the series are Going Solo and On Tour. Other book recommendations include Girl (in real life) by Tasmin Winter, The girls guide to growing up great by Sophie Elkan.]]> 2022-04-28 01:45:54 UTC https://padlet.com/MissLicari/1i3jhnha7b5w1lb5/wish/2161359808 Title: Fly-In Fly-Out https://padlet.com/MissLicari/1i3jhnha7b5w1lb5/wish/2163649220 Author: Sally Murphy

Rowley https://padlet.com/MissLicari/1i3jhnha7b5w1lb5/wish/2180412766 Summary: Harry Potter gets an invitation to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but what happens when the Dark Lord comes back looking for the Elixir of Life or better known as the Philosopher’s Stone?

Rating: I give it a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Out of ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Because it’s very interesting and exciting though parts made me really angry cause the Dursleys are so rude and Quirrel is creepy!

Audience: With this particular book I would say 10 - 13 because that’s around about the age the characters are, yet there are some older parts.

Genre: Mystery, Comedy, a bit of Horror

Interesting Facts: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone is the first of 7 books all done by J. K. Rowley.

Favourite Part: Probably the part where Harry Potter becomes Seeker in Quidditch and everyone’s so amazed because 1st years aren’t allowed to be in Quidditch.

Other Book Recommendations: Of course the rest of the Harry Potter books but also The Fantastic Beast and where to find them if you want more of a background to the story.

Summary
Snowfall didn't expect to be queen of the IceWings at such a young age, but now that she is, she's going to be the best queen ever. All she has to do is keep her tribe within IceWing territory, where it's safe — while keeping every other tribe out, where they belong.

It's a perfect and simple plan, backed up by the Ice Cliff Wall and every bit of IceWing magic Snowfall can gather. Perfect, that is, until a storm of unidentified dragons flies in from the ocean, looking for asylum.

The foreigners are completely strange and, Snowfall is certain, utterly untrustworthy. But as she escorts the miserable new tribes out of her kingdom, the young queen is forced to reconsider her plan. Maybe she can only keep her tribe safe … if she's willing to risk everything.

Audience
11-13
