If there is anyone who is interested in football then I highly recommend this book. There is always something going on whether it’s winning the champions league, losing the World Cup final to Germany, or simply winning a game of football with his cousin against his older cousin and his two older brothers.

I loved it! It is so good and I recommend to 9 to 12 year olds! You will have a blast reading it. It's all about this girl called Aurora, and she secretly had super powers passed down from generations! It's soooo, cool! There are other books too but I advice start from the start to understand!
And the drawings are marvellous! Really! This book is especially for girls, WHY? Because it is all from a girls perspective. But! Boys can read it too! It's for everyone! 💜😃. It kinda reminds me of someone going through changes like puberty or growing up and maturing. It's a great help, and I thank Alessia for making it, also read Star Switch it's fab!

Time travelling with a hamster is one of the best books I have ever read. Al’s dad died when he was young but Al has a chance to prevent his dads life but to do so he must travel back to the 1984. But in doing so he just makes things worse. I definitely recommend this book to everyone who wants to read it.

I'd recommend this book to children who like mystery. It's about a girl named Wilde who moves to a new village called Witch Point with her sister Mae, but everything is not what it seems when Wilde starts waking up in strange places such as the roof and when her best friend Dorcas says Wilde has been flying in the middle of the night! Soon after, she realises something unexpected about herself while also uncovering the truth about a famous witch who was said to have haunted the village years ago...

Review From:
Tipperary
The Young Sherlock series is a series that has been out there for a while now. It is an ok series. Night break is the last book of the series. There are eight books in the series. The other books are Death cloud, Red leech, Black ice, Fire storm, Snake bite, Knife edge and Stone cold. As you might have already guessed are about a boy named Sherlock.
The story starts with Sherlock’s brother, Mycroft coming over to report the bad news that their mother died. They hopped in a cart a rode a long way to the old manor that Mycroft lived in. A few days later which I will not talk about because they are more adapting to where they are than anything else Sherlock was talking to his sister and she said that every night she sees faceless men outside her window. The night after, Sherlock found out that she was not seeing things the reason he thought this was because she was in a very fragile mental state and half the time she was in a world of her own. The men broke into their house but stole nothing. The day after that (they got away) Sherlock and his brother went to talk to his sister’s love. He got trapped by his decorators. They were the same people who broke into Mycroft’s manor. They were after a letter. That letter told them about some people who were trying to sabotage the making of the Suez Canal. Sherlock went there and stopped them he had to stop a supply of oil from lighten by Greek fire. He had to sword fight against a man named Rufus Stone. Sherlock knew him since he was born. They were best friends. He needed help to beat him so he called in the person who taught him sword fighting. It turned out that Mycroft was one of the people trying to sabotage the canal.

Young Knights of The Round Table

Review From:
Tipperary
Young Knights of the Round Table is a tale that doesn’t match the title that much but would match the next book a bit more. I have not read the next book in the series yet but it tells you what the next book is about. This report will not tell you about the other book in the series.
This story starts in a magic school named Dark Lore at the dimension named Avalon. Rick and all the other changelings. Changeling is the name given to abandoned children rescue the centuries.
They were combat training when some type of magic destroyed the place. That started a quest to destroy the new round table. At Dark Lore they were taught that humans were the enemy. While at Earth they find out that humans are not the enemy. They also found out that the Fey (the Fey are the magic people who live in Avalon) had been stealing them from their parents. They keep it a secret from the Fey because the king would burn him with a dragon.
They go to a human school while at Earth. They found the person who was destroying Avalon. By this time they wanted to overthrow the king. He was trying to take over Earth to overthrow the king. They thought they wanted to join him until they found out that. He was going to send nine armies into the human world. They stopped him at the last second.
I have to say that this book kept on making me feel like something bad is going to happen but they find a way out. I loved this book probably more than the other books I did a report on. FIVE STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One Dog And His Boy

Review From:
Tipperary
One dog and his boy is a book about a boy named Hal who has always wanted a dog. His parents would not let him have a dog because they were too messy.

It was Hal’s birthday; he had a party and stuff. At night when his dad woke him up he told him they were getting a dog but that was only the half-truth. They were only getting the dog for the weekend.
He enjoyed the time being but when the dog which was named Fleck left he was extremely sad. One night he stole Fleck but the keeper’s sister felt bad for so she let them go too.
They had to go a long way to Hal’s grandparents. They went to Hal’s grandparents because as I said earlier his parents wouldn’t let him have a dog. They were chased by tracker dogs and stuff like that. But they made it safely to his grandparents.
I loved that book and recommend you read it!!!FIVE STARS TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
