This book is a wonderful fantasy story and I think everyone who enjoyed 'Whispers in the Graveyard' should read it! 

Two orphaned children are on the run, hiding among the crumbling canals and misty alleyways of the city of Venice.

Befriended by a gang of street children and their mysterious leader, the Thief Lord, they shelter in an old, disused cinema. On their trail is a bungling detective, obsessed with disguises and the health of his pet tortoises. But a greater threat to the boys' new-found freedom is something from a forgotten past – a beautiful magical treasure with the power to spin time itself.

I am obsessed with this funny and clever love story. It's not just a love story, though. It's really about the way that people judge others and the restrictions on people's freedom. Mr Darcy is a royally miffed off character who has fallen in love with someone he considers far beneath him/not good enough. The novel tells us about the importance of following your heart and not being a coward in the face of prejudice and societal expectations. ]]> 2021-02-17 09:30:53 UTC https://padlet.com/cmorrison47/ntqwoflt643x7ot0/wish/1210370064 Flowers in the attic book review 26agow https://padlet.com/cmorrison47/ntqwoflt643x7ot0/wish/1210400286 Andrew G.

i really enjoy reading this adventure novel. its all adventure its about the modern world but the greek gods still excist and its about. when the gods have kids with a mortal it makes a demigod.

The story is about the son of poisiden who has water poweres. and has to try save olympus from kronos and his team of monsters and demigods. it tells the story that you can do anything when you are young and you dont have to wait until your older.]]> 2021-02-17 09:40:06 UTC https://padlet.com/cmorrison47/ntqwoflt643x7ot0/wish/1210400373 Where the forest meets the stars - Glendy Vanderah 26rfleming https://padlet.com/cmorrison47/ntqwoflt643x7ot0/wish/1210400670 Robyn F

I loved this book because it's about a mystarious child [come from a rough background] who teaches two strangers how to love and trust again. 

After the loss of her mother and her own fight with breast cancer, Joanna Teale  is desperate to get back to her graduate research and show that she has not been defeated by cancer. She gets back in her strict routine of working long hard days in rural Illinois, studying nesting birds. 
One night, Joanna finds a girl covered in bruises and deprived of shoes. She calls herself Ursa and thinks she is from another galaxy. Jo doesn't no what to do othe than take Ursa under her wing and makes sure she finds a way home. 
Along the way Jo meets a farmer/eggseller and called Gabe and catches feelings. They tell eachother everything and they have so much trust, so much so that when they are in a dangerous situation, they would give their lives for eachother.

I think this book is great for people who are trying to find their place in the world.]]> 2021-02-17 09:40:12 UTC https://padlet.com/cmorrison47/ntqwoflt643x7ot0/wish/1210400670 The Mountain of Adventure by Enid Blyton https://padlet.com/cmorrison47/ntqwoflt643x7ot0/wish/1210400713 Honor G

I really enjoyed reading this book I thought it was really fun and had lots of good twists, and was a really good adventure story. I like all the characters.

This book is about four children, two boys ( Jack and Phillip ) and two girls ( Dinah and Lucy Anne ). It starts when they all go on a holiday to whales with there mum and their friend Bill ( who they met in one of the other books in the series ).  They stay with a nice couple in the mountains. Then one day the four kids go on a donkey ride with a friend of the couple, but David ( the friend ) gets scared and runs away. The children don't know what had scared him off and are lost. They meet some mysterious people one of them gets taken away. They go on an adventure which leads them to all being capture but then maybe all getting saved, and lots of mysterious people, inventions and passage ways along the way. Will they get saved ?

I Would definitely read this book it is an amazing story with lots of adventure. This book though is the 5th  in the series of 8 books i would definitely recommend reading them from the beginning they are all so good. I thing anybody would enjoy this book but I would especially recommend this book for people that like adventure.

This book is all about a middle school student (Gregg Heffley) who lives in Massachusetts, America and is very small and skinny. 
The book is very funny every page and I would believe that the genre is comedy.
He finds it hard to find friends in school and he thinks that his only friend Rowley, embarrasses him inside and outside of school. Whether it's Halloween, Christmas and sometimes even his birthday.
So basically they are the least popular in the class.
At home he also doesn't like because of his nasty brother Rodrick, because of the despicable pranks he does each day to his own little brother. He is around 17 and still acts like he is 6. Also he is a very Heavy Metal person.

I think people that love to have a laugh and are very humorous would enjoy this book a lot.

Cookie is a girl who has her hart set on a kitten but er parents will not buy for her, (which i think we can all relate to).the reason i love this book is because Kookie is a lot like me i think.The next book in the series came out on the 4 of feb and I’m so exited to read it. I would like to recommend this book to anyone who likes the diary of a wimpy kid.

This is amazing. It has everything you would expect from a fantasy book: Great duels, great feats of magic, monsters and a hero. 

You follow the adventures of Geralt of Rivia, a powerful Witcher that protects the people and slays and cures monsters.
You read about his feats of glory, past and present, and read in delight  at his skills and smarts.

He has traveled the world and made friends with many people, but with those friends come powerful enemies, but he stills travels the world and slays monsters. But not all monsters are evil, and not everything fair is good.

It was written by an amazing author called Katherine Rundell. It was a survival tale of four brave youngsters who are stranded in the amazon jungle after a plane crash. I read this book a year ago and it was the only thing I could think about It gripped on to me I could even go as far to say that I was addicted to that book. It was educating as well, it taught me all 
kinds of things. If you are into survival, nature and being thrilled then this is your book. there are some twist and turns if you like that as well. To sum up every thing I have just said. THIS IS A GREAT BOOK AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT, YOU MUST READ IT!!!   ]]> 2021-02-17 09:41:02 UTC https://padlet.com/cmorrison47/ntqwoflt643x7ot0/wish/1210403045 The Wizard in my Shed https://padlet.com/cmorrison47/ntqwoflt643x7ot0/wish/1210403251 Cora 

I love this book. it makes me laugh and it really is a good book. i think it is really engaging and i like that. it has a few action parts and it has MAGIC!! It has loads of plot twists and i think all of the plot twists are so funny and make the story.

I love how she or he family isn't perfect (i love that message because nobody is perfect) and that she meets this very weird and strange person who is a wizard for the Dark Ages and  he has been banished to the wrong place! he is stuck in the 21 th century and  he is looking to get back home. its really funny because Rose is trying to get him to suit in for the mean time but things don't go to plan!

Rose is also having a hard time because he dad past away and her mum hasn't fully recovered for it and he brother oh boy! she is getting bullied and her dream it to be a famous singer..! on the other hand Merdyn the Wild is needing to get home but first he will need to get his staff and then find the spell book to take him home. one thing he has to do is defeat his enemy.

i would definitely recommend this book. i would say it is for 10-13 age group but i think loads of people would like it. i think people who like adventure, magic,action and humour.

I really like this book because it is quite creative and has so many random twists and turns which makes it quite funny. There are a lot of different parts from different books in that one book which might mean it is all over the place but that is what makes the book good.

The story is about a boy who moves away to a new town and starts writing letters to his friend from his old town. Then he has all these weird things happen to him (like his friends getting super powers) so he starts to write about them.

Artemis fowl is criminally good, with well fleshed out characters and a new spin on the idea of fairies and and other mythical creatures like centaurs. There is a bit of comedy but with enough serious bits to make it suitable for young adults.

Micheal Morpurgo's  award winning novel is a amazing book! The novel is thrilling and exciting but can be quite sad in parts. The book is set in the time of WW1 and is about two brothers one called tom and the other called charlie who are first send to a boarding school  and one brother (tom) has a horrible experience there, not long after the war breaks out and charlie who is the eldest has been enrolled in the army with conscription. So Charlie is at war and Tom is at home with his mum and likes to poach pheasants  illegally but he keeps getting caught by a not a very nice man called The colonel. Soon after tom has volunteered to go to war and try see his brother. But sadly in the end Charlie dies  but before he dies  tom returns home with  charlie and charlie was awarded a special medal for his service on the battlefield.

I would definitely  read this book it is Amazing! if you like thrilling books this is the book for you. Michael morpurgo also has lots of other great book i.e War Horse. This book is a rollercoaster of emotions, there is also movie which i have yet to watch.

The Secret of the Night Train is an adventure/comedy fiction novel which I really enjoyed. I recommend this book to people who like reading about adventure, thieves and mystery. I would say it is not a hard read so i would say ages 9-12 but a wide rage of people would like it.

The story is about a young girl called Max who lives in Paris but has been sent away to Istanbul to stay with her Great Aunt-Elodie, on her journey she is not alone she is accompanied by a nun called sister Marguerite. and on the four trains she catches to get there Max must solve the mystery of a smuggled diamond. Through smugglers, detectives, police and more she must catch the thief before they all do and all in time of her arrival to Istanbul!

The book is about a boy called James Adams, who works for a organization called Cherub. Cherub  is a secret organization of children who go undercover, when they are on missions no one suspects that they are trained professionals because they are kids. In this book, which is the second in the series, James goes undercover to bring down Europe's most powerful 🤬 dealer. 

I really like this book because it is suspenseful, funny at some points and it is exciting. 

The other books in the series are about other missions and are all as good end exciting as this one. James has a younger sister called Lauren, who also works for Cherub. Cherub is for orphans who get recruited by other members. Lauren and James go on all sorts of missions, and adventures all around the world!

I would recommend the book series to people who like adventure books because there is so many great missions that they go on, twists and things that go wrong on the missions. ]]> 2021-02-17 09:45:03 UTC https://padlet.com/cmorrison47/ntqwoflt643x7ot0/wish/1210415009 Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon https://padlet.com/cmorrison47/ntqwoflt643x7ot0/wish/1210416749 Maria

The Diary of a Wimpy Kid' books are all about a kid called Greg who fills in his journal (not a diary!!) of all the misadventures in his life.

Everything Greg seems to do has hilarious consequences and his family are very funny. In this book it is summer vacation and even though it is nice and hot Greg insists on staying inside hooked up to his video games with the blinds drawn. His mother is tired of Greg being lazy and decides that this summer should be fun and packed with family activities.

This book was very good. My favourite character has to be Greg as he can be horrible but the audience always roots for him anyway! I really like the part when Greg's mum is forgotten by the whole family at a petrol station in the middle of nowhere - it is hilarious.

I recommend this book to readers around 10-13 who enjoy reading as it is quite easy to read, but it has some challenging words as well.

The faraway tree is a great book! It is a fiction novel about adventure. The three children, Jo, Beth and Frannie, move house next door to a mysterious woods! They soon meet all of the wonderful creatures that live up the faraway tree! 
I think this book is a great read because it’s full of adventure, mysteries and a bunch of  odd, but funny characters that you meet along the way! The book if filled with twists and some unexpected journeys, witch makes it exciting to read because you never know what’s going to happen next! It is quite an old book, it was published in 1943, but there are some newer versions of the book!I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves mysteries, fairytales and adventure! ]]> 2021-02-17 09:52:47 UTC https://padlet.com/cmorrison47/ntqwoflt643x7ot0/wish/1210436956 gone by josh https://padlet.com/cmorrison47/ntqwoflt643x7ot0/wish/1210474289 the gone series is a series of books where everyone over the age of 15 dissapears and goes into a seperate dimension but nobody knows.

I recommend this book to people who love fanstay  books and have watched the movies and want to see the original story.
