A book-eating monster named Nibbles, is nibbling his way through other people's stories!!!and is taking over their stories to. First he went into goldilocks and the three bears story, and next he went into little red riding hood's story and at last in Jack and the beans talks story.

So now do you see that Nibbles is th most crime making mischief and mess making monster in other people's stories. SO LOOK OUT FOR A BOOK-EATING MONSTER NAMED NIBBLES!!!!!!

This is an very eye catching and interactive story because Emma Yarlett who wrote the story, put tiny books that Nibbles went into some pages and I really enjoyed this story and hope there is more in this kind. 🙂🙂🙂🙂

Under the Hawthorn Tree
Book Author:
Marita Conlon - McKenna
Age Group For This Book:
Age 10-12
Review From:
Roscommon
Based on real events, this is an historical novel that fleshes out the grim circumstances of Famine times in Ireland. Full of accurate detail, it is populated with realistic characters. This story would tug at any heartstrings as we learn about Eily, Michael and Peggy and their quest to find their grand aunts, thereby avoiding being sent to the workhouse after their mother, father and baby sister die.As the parish priest is sick they have to bury the baby themselves under the hawthorn tree. Following the river, they encounter fever, emptiness and the full force of the weather. This book is perfect for readers with adventure in their hearts and a lovely way to make history come alive. The worst thing about this novel is that .......it ended! To complete the trilogy, I also enjoyed Wildflower Girl and Fields of Home.

Review From:

Rain reign is one of the best books I have read this year. It's about this girl named Rose (who is autistic) and obsessed with homophones. Her only friend in the world is her dog whom she names rain, a word with two homophones. But then rain goes missing and Rose goes to find her. Rose is one of the bravest characters out there. Definitely read this book!

Percy Jackson and the lighting thief, is the first in the Percy Jackson series. It's full of Greek gods and monsters. I would recommend it to anyone who likes Harry potter and Keeper of the lost cities. It's also good if you like books with learning disabled characters.

A Tale of Magic
Book Author:

Review From:
Dublin
'A tale of magic' was the best book I have read in a long time. My favourite character was 'Madame Weatherberry'. I liked 'Madame Weatherberry' because she was funny, kind and the one who started the main event of the story. I like the end of the story because there is so much going on. The end of the story is happy, but also kind of sad. This book is for all ages. There are four kingdoms in this book. The kingdoms are called 'The Northern Kingdom', 'The Eastern Kingdom', 'The Southern Kingdom' and the 'Western Kingdom'. There is one bad-guy in the story. She is called 'The Snow Queen'. Most people that are mentioned in the book are magical. 'Brystal' is the main character in the story. She gets sentenced to death, but after that she is fine. . .
This is a truly magical story. . .

My name is Keela and really enjoyed reading my book. My favorite part was when they left Rodrick in the middle of the sea when they went snorkeling and when they went back to get him he was as red as a tomato.I also liked when they rode a banana in water and I thought that was really funny.
