Our best reads! by https://padlet.com/cwan2/lzyp8ksn6fen Made with panache en-us 2017-12-19 19:05:04 UTC 2024-05-27 01:50:56 UTC hello@padlet.com Miss Wan is currently reading this book: cwan2 https://padlet.com/cwan2/lzyp8ksn6fen/wish/217347142 I have just started the novel below. 'Wonder' is told from the perspective of 10 year old Auggie. Auggie has a medical condition, which has forced him to have many surgeries. As a result of this, Auggie has been homeschooled by his mother. However, his mother believing that he needs to experience the real world enrols him to a new school. It is interesting to have the novel told from Auggie's point of view, as you are able to see how others in society treat him, as a result of his condition. I think Palacio is trying to get the reader to consider their reactions to individuals in society and to consider the beauty of diversity. ]]> 2017-12-19 19:06:34 UTC https://padlet.com/cwan2/lzyp8ksn6fen/wish/217347142 Tom Gates: A Tiny Bit Lucky https://padlet.com/cwan2/lzyp8ksn6fen/wish/217760348

Being quite cheeky, he is under the watchful eye of his classroom teacher. Mr. Fullerman - his teacher - gets angry when Tom draws. However, he can not stop as it is his passion. i would recommend this book to 8-12 year olds but of course anyone can read it. Liz Pichon is the author and is very good at drawing like Tom Gates. ]]> 2017-12-21 17:53:54 UTC https://padlet.com/cwan2/lzyp8ksn6fen/wish/217760348 Charlie and the chocolate factory https://padlet.com/cwan2/lzyp8ksn6fen/wish/217888674 By Florence Slack 
I thought Charlie and the chocolate factory was amazing! There is a good story line and it is very interesting. When all five people are in the chocolate factory, gradually things happen to the characters. 
I would definitely recommend this book for chlidren around the ages of 8-12 years old. 
The book was about a boy called Charlie who’s family is extremely poor. One day Willy Wonka the owners 
Of a famous chocolate factory plants 5 golden tickets in his chocolate bars. Charlie finds a golden ticket with the money he has found on the pavement while walking home from school. The other 4 people have now found their golden tickets and they all go for a tour around Willy Wonkas  chocolate factory. All the winners had all gradually done something through out the book that had made them either disappear or have to go down with the umpalumpas ( Willy  Wonkas  helpers ) had to take them down and help them come back to there normal self. As one by one went down Charlie stayed up and once they had all gone Charlie won the factory and That was the end of Charlie and the chocolate factory.

I have really enjoyed watching home alone because there
is a boy called Kevin and some burglars enter his home when his family are on holiday and forget to take him. There are 3 floors in there house and he sleep on the top floor also he forgot to wake up while everyone was getting ready to go to Paris. There were  2 burglars who were called Marv and Harry and they were spying  on there house for 2 day's to see what was happening. When Kevin saw then he started making lots of traps  2 defend himself from the 2 burglars. One day before he had made fake people andmade  them dance on string so it didn't look like Kevin was home alone

The midnight gang is an amazing book by David Walliams. It is about five children in Lord Funtington hospital the five children are George,Robin , Amber,Sally and Tom. These five mischievous children go out every night at midnight and go to a secret hideout whilst there they plan for each child on the ward to live out their dream before they leave the ward.In the process of this they get in a lot of trouble and often have to run away and hide. I would recommend this book for children aged 8-12 . This book is very good and will always leave you wanting to read more. ]]> 2017-12-29 14:03:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cwan2/lzyp8ksn6fen/wish/218150959 Diary of a wimpy kid the getaway https://padlet.com/cwan2/lzyp8ksn6fen/wish/218239782 By Elizabeth Thorpe
Diary of a wimpy kid is a good book written by Jeff Kinney. Greg is a middle school boy who's parents are planning to take the whole family (Rodrick older brother and Manny younger brother) to the paradise island where they had there honeymoon. It doesn't all go to plan! After trying to make this trip as special as their honey moon they come across many problems. Sun poisoning,stomach pains and venomous creatures all stop them from having their dream holiday.I would recommend this book for 8-12 year olds to read. This book is funny and you don't want to put it down.

I read this book and found it very interesting and it made me want to read more. Kid Normal is about a boy called Murph Cooper who"s mum and and brother (as a family) always move house. His mum wants to put Murph in a good school, but can't find any. One day Murph and his mum are walking and see the headmaster of a school locking the gates. When his mum asked the headteacher if her son could join the school, he was acting very quiet. Why? Well his school was for kids with super powers. Murph went for his first day at school not knowing that it's a school for superpowers has to go to the front of class and show them what he has got. Meanwhile, there is a villain called Nektar and he wants to take over the world and kill the superheroes. Murph and his friends save the day when Nektar and his assistants try and kill them. I would recommend this book for 9-15 year olds to read. The authors are Greg James and Chris Smith. The illustrator is Erica Salcedo. I think the author is trying to get across the fact that you can save the day without anything special.]]> 2018-01-01 14:10:40 UTC https://padlet.com/cwan2/lzyp8ksn6fen/wish/218247038 War horse https://padlet.com/cwan2/lzyp8ksn6fen/wish/218299175 By Eimear McManus
War horse is an amazing book. Michael Morpurgo is very clever and tells the story from the perspective of the horse and it makes the reader feel as though they are really there. It is an unforgettable book however, it is very emotional so I would recommend it for ages 9+. It has persuasive anti-war messages and it shows how war is full of loss whilst telling a story of everlasting loyalty. It’s about a horse’s experience in WW1. After being sold to the army, Joey (the horse) is thrust into the midst of the war on the western front. He witnesses the horror of the front line but his courage touches the soldiers around him. This moving book is not only for horse lovers but anyone who loves a great story that keeps you wanting to carry on reading. ]]> 2018-01-02 12:29:03 UTC https://padlet.com/cwan2/lzyp8ksn6fen/wish/218299175 Sofa So Good Me Life Story :By Scarlett Moffatt. aimeegallagher16 https://padlet.com/cwan2/lzyp8ksn6fen/wish/218302780 Review by Aimee Gallagher
The book is amazing because it is telling you how you can go from just  watching the TV to become someone famous. The book was interesting because it tells all different parts of her life with comedy and who inspires her.  There is some images from when she was little and pictures from her holidays.The first few chapters are about how people can be so horrible and also  there are some key images from her life like when she graduated. The book should be read by children aged 12 and over because some of the book swears in it.I think Scarlett is trying to tell the readers through the book that if you believe you can achieve anything like she did as she dreamt of being on "I`m A celebrity Get Me Out Of Here" and she went on it. This is probably the best life story book i have ever read and i keep reading it and reading it. ]]> 2018-01-02 12:53:02 UTC https://padlet.com/cwan2/lzyp8ksn6fen/wish/218302780 Grandpa’s great escape https://padlet.com/cwan2/lzyp8ksn6fen/wish/218340025 I have just finished reading the amazing, hilarious and interesting book written by David Williams (Grandpas great escape). The story mostly takes place in the old folks homes, twilight towers. In the book, grandpa is stook in the old folks homes left to only think and dream about being back at his old house with his beloved grandson Jack; as Jack and grandpa are so close, Jack know that his grandpa would love to be at home with him and therefore is very angry with his family for sending his grandpa there. But he won’t let that stop him and his grandpa from having fun together again....
Jack visits his grandpa a few days later and together they plan a great escape for grandpa. 
I would recommend this book for children (boys and girls) between 8-12 years old but of course anyone can read the book. David Williams is a great author and I have read all of his book.]]> 2018-01-02 15:47:20 UTC https://padlet.com/cwan2/lzyp8ksn6fen/wish/218340025 The boy in the dress https://padlet.com/cwan2/lzyp8ksn6fen/wish/218346802 By Anisah Hussain
I read the book the boy in the dress by David Walliams. It is about a twelve year old boy who's mum has left and he lives with his older brother and dad. He put on a dress because it reminded him of his mum. He loves football and goes to a school with a very strict headmaster. I would recommend this book to children aged 10-12 because they would find it interesting. ]]> 2018-01-02 16:16:49 UTC https://padlet.com/cwan2/lzyp8ksn6fen/wish/218346802 The Hobbit https://padlet.com/cwan2/lzyp8ksn6fen/wish/218466864 By Joel Naughton
I have not finished this book yet but for how much I have read it is an amazing book and I can't wait to finish it. The book is based on a small magical creature called Bilbo Baggins. In the land of middle earth hobbits are well known for being burglars. But that was in the past so they are now known as peaceful creatures that live under a hill quite happy. But one day an old wizard called Gandalf puts a magical mark on his door and Bilbo's peaceful life will be erupted by a magical, dangerous and life changing adventure/quest. I would suggest this book for reader from 10-14. This is a very good book and is part of a series. I can't way to finish it and I hope you read it to. The Illustrator is Jemima Catlin and the author is J.R.R. Tolkien. ]]> 2018-01-03 12:35:21 UTC https://padlet.com/cwan2/lzyp8ksn6fen/wish/218466864 Jamie vardy's autobiography from nowhere https://padlet.com/cwan2/lzyp8ksn6fen/wish/218610142 By william jenkinson
It talks about a lad from Sheffield who came from a small house near Hillsborough stadium, he thought his dream club Sheffield wednesday would make him a striker like his icon David Hirst. He disliked school, which led him on to get extremely bad gcses with his best being in maths, this was one of his preferred subjects due to his teacher. As he was growing up he stuck out from the other kids, he was a black mark on white sheets. He was mischievous and was blamed for vandalism on his previous school. His path for his career was torn to bits after his heart brake with Wednesday who released him due to his size. He suddenly had nothing he went from job to job but eventually worked at Sheffield steel works for several years. He was one to go out drinking with many of his mates and what was firstly just a few pints ended with it being a full session. He still loved playing football despite his heart brake and scored plenty of goals. He was known to police for his socalled criminal offences, he had a deaf friend who was getting the mick taken out of him so basically fought them and ended up having the tag. He had plenty other encounters with the coppers for example when he was glassed. He then moved up tiers in football and eventually had an agent. He was eventually picked up by Leicester City who at the time were a league 1 side. He eventually fitted in even though he could go out the night before and get drunk but played at his best in the 4 hour sleep he would get. He went on to break a record for the most goals scored in consecutive games,then that season they won the Premier league. I like this story because it gives me hope on for fulling my dream which was like his. His story line seems to be like mine, both playing for an academy and disliking school, but as it says you just get what your given. I also like it because i can relate to this in many ways ]]> 2018-01-03 19:03:06 UTC https://padlet.com/cwan2/lzyp8ksn6fen/wish/218610142 Faceless https://padlet.com/cwan2/lzyp8ksn6fen/wish/218905574 By Annie Robinson

After having her transplant she visits counselling sessions every week and meets a boy. People always tell her how lucky she is but she finds it hard to accept it. This book follows her love story, her recovery and it ends with Maisie realising what lucky really means. I found this book really interesting and would definitely read it again.

I have been reading the Alex Rider series since half term and this was the book that I have ended up reading during the Christmas holidays. I have been hooked to the book through the holidays and have since finished the book. Eagle Strike is a fast paced that will still leave you full of suspense right up until the book finishes. The book starts when Alex is in the middle of his holiday in a french town of Saint-Pierre on the Mediterranean coast. Alex spots one of his archenemies yachts and goes to investigate he slips his way through his henchmen. Once inside he goes down to the lower where he finds his archenemy.
After being captured, he is taken to the bull fight and he is trapped inside the ring with a bull and miraculously escapes. Furiously, running to get back to the villa before his eyes it explodes with his friends dad inside ( he went on holiday with his friend because his parents were dead) who was a journalist. Could these events be linked? and will his friends dad survive? I know do you what to, you will have to read the book to find out. I would recommend this book for people aged 11-14 years because it would make the reader feel the most empathy. ]]> 2018-01-06 12:38:40 UTC https://padlet.com/cwan2/lzyp8ksn6fen/wish/219074485 Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Getaway https://padlet.com/cwan2/lzyp8ksn6fen/wish/219075934 By Charlie Bolger
Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a book about a boy called Greg Heffley that always is involved with some sort of drama. Greg lives with his Mum,Dad and his 2 brothers Rodrick and Manny. In ''The Getaway'' the Heffley family spend christmas on holiday in Spain. The place they are staying at is described as a paradise, but when they get there they soon find out it's not like it's described. The book follows them trying to make there holiday fun. But just like any other Diary of a Wimpy Kid book, they fail. They are kicked out a day early and have to stay at the airport hotel. The trip had failed. Until... They sneek back into the resort and manage to end the trip on a high.

I think this is a great novel because the stories inside it are really engaging and I totally agree with the authors’ viewpoints. Lara is a young medical doctor, who was born and grew up in Nigeria, who finally has her dream of travelling into the UK fulfilled. At the start, she felt it was a better country than her own, and expected it to be a wonderful, rich luxurious place – “a land flowing with milk and honey” (as described in the book). However, life in the UK isn’t TOTALLY what she imagined it to be. During this book she encounters issues she had never thought she would be facing in the UK – academics, unemployment, finances and not to mention racial discrimination. She’s not just a regular human being doctor coming to work in the UK, no. She’s an “immigrant” doctor, meaning she is different and therefore life in the UK really ISN’T all that she dreamt it would be after all. This makes a PERFECT handbook for people like her - “immigrants” – who are coming into or have just arrived in the UK. It may not seem as such at the start, but this book is actually a really good read.

The philosophers stone is the first book in J.K Rowling Harry Potter series. They have made her one of the most successful authors of all time selling over 400 million copy’s world wide.


The book is about a young boy named Harry Potter who lives in a cupboard underneath the stairs of his aunts and uncles house. He lives there because his parents were killed in a car crash. He has always felt like the odd one out in the family as his cousin Dudley was spoilt rotten, and he couldn’t even get a second of attention. That is until an owl turns up with a letter changing his life forever! He travels to hogworts where he meets Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley. They up to all sorts of adventures while they are there including Harry finding out everything to do with the wizard world.

A large number of people can relate to Harry’s life, with his initial feelings of isolation and not belonging somewhere ; then being able to leave that old life Behind him to be able to truly find out who he is as a person.

The name of the book in America was renamed the sorcerer’s stone. They thought that a child wouldn’t ead a book with the word philosopher in it. 

I would recommend this book for people aged 11 and above as there is some advanced vocabulary in it. http://www2.sdfi.edu.cn/netclass/jiaoan/englit/download/Harry%20Potter%20and%20the%20Sorcerer's%20Stone.pdf

The book that I have recently read was called The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. It's target audience is primarily teenagers, but I believe that due to the action packed content and intriguing story line , it is suitable for anyone of this age and above. The adventure is set in a dystopian universe that consists of 12 poverty stricken district that are brutally controlled by the filthy rich Capital 
Our central character is a 16 year old girl named Katniss Everdean, who is braught to everyone's attention when she volunteers to take her younger sisters place in the notorious annual Hunger Games.
The Hunger Games is an annual event that the capital stages in order to remind the districts of the Capitals eternal and ultimate power.This consists of one boy an one girl from each district to be unwillingly chosen to compost against each other in a battle to the death.
Only one will survive.
Katniss and her fellow 'tribute' ,Peeta, rebel against this tradition wich leads them down the road to a dangerous and destructive journey. 
What I found most interesting about this story, in spite of the explosive story line , Katniss displays very human emotions. These are emotions that almost, everyone can identify and relate to, such as; her protective feelings for her younger sister-prim- ,and also her affection feelings towards Peeta, but also she felt conflicted and hatred which was aimed at President Snow and President Coin. All these elements made the book very interesting for me to read.
I would absolutely and most definitely recommend this book to anyone. I really hope that you read these incredible books and enjoy them as much as I have

When she goes to seek justice with her two companions (Sherlock and Watson) they find out that there people who stalk London’s fog consumed streets; a one legged man with revenge on his mind and another, who places no value on human life.

But it soon comes out that Joe's dad paid the girl to be  Joe's friend. I liked this book because it was funny and it helps you figure out who your real friends are.

It is about someone called Greg Heffley and what his life is like. There is a load of anecdotes in the series that are relatable to other people around his age. The book I read most recently "the getaway" is the newest book in the series and is about the struggles of going to a holiday resort with his parents and his brothers. What makes the series interesting is how random it is and the fact that you have no idea what is going to happen in any book.

The Fault In Our Stars is a book about a young teenage girl called Hazel who has been diagnosed with lung cancer and attends a cancer support group. Here she meets Augustus Waters a cancer survivor who helps her to gather strength as they deal with cancer and love.

It is a book that makes you think about the meaning of life but no mater how short it it is you can experience love, excitement and adventure.


It is an story of romance , anger , excitement,humour ,friendship and bravery. The book is well written and takes you through a rollercoaster of emotions and the book makes me feel like I know Augustus and Hazel.

At times this is a difficult book to read but I would definitely recommend it as the story hooks you from the very beginning . I would recommend this book age 12 + because it focuses on the difficult subject of cancer and contains mature language.

I read that computers which have Intel chips could have their passwords and other data stolen. Further more that there was no software update that could completely fix the spectre bug. I found this article very interesting and it  warned me to keep a close eye on my personal data within my phone and other electronics that i have .

Daz 4 Zoe is based on the year 2051 (How the writer thinks Britain will be in that year) where the country is divided into two parts subbies and chippies. 
Zoe ( a subbie ) lives in a suburbs where they work and get an education they also have nice houses but Daz ( a chippie) lives in crummy apartments and doesn't work for money and don't get much of an education(Also don't take showers).
Daz and Zoe fall in love but what gets in the way is the difference between their communities and armed, dangerous security forces.
(Basically Romeo and Juliette all over again), 
This book is good for people based around the age of 11-16. The Book is not in chapters but perspectives of Daz and Zoe which makes it more interesting and enjoyable.

Roald Dahl (the author) wrote this book based on real life as his granddaughter (Sophie) called him a ‘Big Friendly Giant’ which gave him an idea of what his next book was going to be about. The book is about Sophie being captured by The BFG and taken to an imagined land where she discovers other giants are eating children. Their mission is to stop them from doing this by informing the Queen. I enjoyed this book as it was written as if the writer was talking to the reader and wasn’t too formal. Dahl used a variety of punctualyion and interesting vocabulary to engage the reader such as using capital letters to emphasize the text. I would recommend this book to children as the storyline of the book is childlike and it is immature to some people.

This most likely didnt happen to her however it has happend to other people. as i mentioned at the start she did this to panic people who do smoke. Then she started to use statistics to prove her point on how it can ruin lives, she used some like one out of four smokers will die of heart disease and every cigarette cuts 5 minutes of life.

Other statistics are used to possible scare the reader;smokers are 15 times more at risk of getting cancer. The text is quite intersting as many statistics are used and the way they write the article. They slightly ridicule the reader to prevent smoking and also include youth smoking, talking about idols in which smoke

There is also his best friend who is a kid named Leo, and they’re all students at some sort of  Wilderness School which is actually just a boarding school for “troubled kids.” What he did to end up here, Jason has no idea whatsoever but he does a feeling that everything isn't as it seems.

If I were to rate it I would rate it five stars so far because it is funny and at the same time very interesting. I like how she loves shopping and can’t stop spending money. It’s hilarious! I like the parts where people get mad at her and I love the moral of the story! I also like the story because it kind of relates to myself even though I struggle to admit it. The story is suitable for 10+ I think which makes it perfect for me to read. What a great book! Even though it isn’t like a story it is more of a diary/ story. I am looking forward to reading the next chapters as I have only read chapters 1-7.

Two men in London were carrying buckets of acid when they came across a woman that they chose was their victim. Sadly, the acid hit her in face and she had critical burns on her face and she became blind because of this outrageous act. Nobody deserves this and soon after she was on Jeremy Kyle to create awareness of what could happen,

This was in a magazine to create awareness too. So this is what I am going to do! Be careful everywhere and especially in London. This caused a woman to be blind which nobody deserves no matter what they have done ]]> 2018-01-10 09:40:20 UTC https://padlet.com/cwan2/lzyp8ksn6fen/wish/220084682 Victorian diary entry https://padlet.com/cwan2/lzyp8ksn6fen/wish/220113125 2018-01-10 11:36:05 UTC https://padlet.com/cwan2/lzyp8ksn6fen/wish/220113125 Charlie and the chocolate factory https://padlet.com/cwan2/lzyp8ksn6fen/wish/220264673 Charlie and the chocolate factory is about 5 children who are battling to get a life time supply of chocolate, they get to go in the chocolate factory and have tour .T he tour is lead by Mister Willy Wonka , through out the story a couple of things go wrong to the other kids. At the end Charlie has won the challenge and the life time supply of chocolate he also got his family from home and had dinner with Mister Willy Wonka .

In Munich opinion i think that this book is something that a child under 11 would read.

I do not like this book because it is boring and I couldn’t read this all at once .

I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes action and fighting and that sort of thing. And the best thing is, you have no idea what might happen next. I would recommend to kids anywhere from the age of 10 to 15. ]]> 2018-01-12 07:01:28 UTC https://padlet.com/cwan2/lzyp8ksn6fen/wish/220864204
