Darren Shan Slawter |
 |

It may be very gory but this is my favourite Darren Shan book I have read
so far!! There is lots of action as Grubbs Grady and his uncle try 2
fight the demon master Lord Loss and his minions. It is written as if
Grubbs was writing the entry as he is fighting and that makes me feel as
if I was there. I would recommend this 2 all teens that love gore. A fantastic horror book. Ryan, Cromer

This book is about Alex Rider, a reluctant teenage spy. It is book five I
believe of a series of books. It's really well written and the detail
that the author has put into it is amazing. It's action packed and a fab
read. Recomened for 8 - 12 year olds but don't let that put you off. I'm
15 and I love them and I know a 23 year old who loves them too. if you
like books which are action packed and rediculusly unbalieveable then
this is the book for you! It would be best to read them in order but
they can be read on their own but they do occasionaly refer to things
that will have happened in other books. They make you laugh, they make
you feel for Alex and they'll have you on the edge of your seat
wondering if he'll survive. Abi, Costessey |

When Kenny, Sim & Blake's best friend is killed they feel his funeral
doesn't reflect the boy they knew, so they steal his ashes and embark
on a journey to give him the send-off they feel befits him. They take
their friend from their home in Cleethorpes to the tiny hamlet that
bears his name - Ross in Scotland and on the way find out a lot about
the friendship between the three of them as the impact that Ross had on
them all - and still does. It's a wonderful story both funny and sad and
most notably about what friendship really means Dorne |

3 boy's steal their friends ash's and take them on a journey to a proper
funeral. very funny book. It was really interesting to show how 3 friends would cope with taking their friends remains and how they would feel and that their understanding of their friend is not as clear as they thought. All together, it was a very intersting and different adventure. Aidan, Oriel High This book is about friendship, death, relationships, family, love etc. 3 friends Sim, Kenny & Blake angrered at the death of their 'best friend'. Create havoc by stealing their urn and ashes of 'Ross' and out out to Ross in scotland As they travel- new adventures & set backs (losing Kenny's rucksack) set them on a Journey of Self discovery & also a dawning that their mate did take his own life- as was suggested at the beginning. The meeting of different people give the boys an insight into themselves. Meeting of the gals & staying in the cottage "Tramps Hotel". They find out the Police are after them- appeared on t.v. They escape on scooters from a farm (one of the gals) They fall off and split up- Major Rows as it slowly dawns on each other that they added stress 2 their mates headstate & feel guilty.Blake then carries on alone 2 Ross with Ross. Sim disapperas & Kenny finally meets up again. Then Ross dad arrives. The 3 boys understand that they have been Ostriches & buried their heads in the sand about their mates feelings & their own. (maybe all Connected with Ross sister mum & dad- feel it 2) Enjoyable moving stooty with humour weaved into an action packed Emotional Adventure. Fiona, Oriel High |

Neil Gaiman The Graveyard Book |
 |
|
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman tells the story of Bod (Nobody Owens)
who is saved from certain death by a group of graveyard ghosts. The
ghosts decide to raise Bod themselves but the evil that wiped out his
family has not gone away and remains a threat to his survival. bod's
adventures with the living and the dead make great reading. The book is
beautifully illustrated by Chris Riddell. A wonderfully quirky book. Dorne |

Patrick NessThe Knife of Letting Go
|
 |
|
the story is quite bland, but it gradually gets better along the way. It's
written in a unique way. Christopher, Oriel High This book was a fantastic novel. Patrick Ness has really created a masterpiece here and should be proud. The world inside this book is dark and emotional and always provides a twist to keep the reader entertained and entranced. I would recommend this book to everyone I know and I think Patrick Ness is a great author. Aidan, Oriel High

This book I found hard to get into at first as it started about
football and Dylan being the only boy in Manod. But then I got
into it and page by page I finished it. Its quite a good book I
think its aimed at boys more than girls. It’s probably for boys
aged 7-15 I’d recommend it to other people.

I really enjoyed this book i thought it was very realistic and
easy to read. i loved the fact that the two main characters were such opposites yet they managed to sustain such an amazing friendship. id recommend this book for 12+ yrs and to people who don’t mind sad endings. Deanna |

John BerkeleyThe palace of laughter |
|

This book was very unusual and i liked the idea but i found some
bits very tedious and boring. It was hard to understand what was
going on. The beginning of the book was very good and drew me into
the story but the middle was so dull i actually gave up reading
it. I would recommend this book to someone who likes adventure and other worldly stories but not to someone who gets bored easily and wants other things to happen. It's suitable for anyone over the age 10. Amber |

Kevin BrooksLucasPlayaway Audio Book |
|
|
Lucas is a strange book full of mystery and questions. A young
girl is telling of how she met him and her feelings toward him.
Also she is facing the struggle of growing up and trying new
things.
About it being audio: Personally I prefer to read my own books than having them read to me but if you like having books read to you instead then that’s great. If you cant stand reading or cant read the reasons could be endless then its perfect for you Age: I don’t think this book should be issued to under 12s, as there are parts that are unsuitable for young kids. Gender: It’s definitely more of a girl’s book. Deanna |

i enjoyed certain parts of this book but found it a little bit
boring in some places, The story line was a good idea but i dont
normally like books like this so it was hard to get into. i didnt think the portrayal of foster kids in the book was very realistic it might be for some people but i dont think im anything like him. this book made me thinks twice about buying a crocodile i never knew they couldn't chew. the book was slightly gross. id recommened it for 13 yrs plus becuase its got lots of swearing in and is very graphic in the eating of the dead pigs and animals. i think boys might like it better than girls.

The start of this book sets your mind racing asking questions
about what is written on the open page. However the mystery
unravels in front of your very eyes and turns out to make perfect
sense. It’s an amazing book, which is a great teen read. I think
it would be best suited to a girl although boys could read it if
they say chose to widen their range. Its an amazing book and is
worth reading. I think this book is suitable for teenagers.

read in a LONG time!! It's about a girl who's Dad goes in Hospital
and she thinks it her fault. Every week, she cant wait for her Art
Lesson because of the Teacher. She ends up baby-sitting his kids
more and more. A definate read for everyone who likes Teenage
Books. (Recommend it for a girl though!!). I give this book 5 / 5

This book was Anthony Horrowitz's latest one , in the Alex Rider series. I chose this one , as it has the most detail, the best story line. I think this one is my Favourite. Its about Chinese Triads and how they plan to take the world. No more to be said. Felix |

Jacqueline WilsonGirls out late |
|
|
It is about three girls who are planning on going out for the night but have to be back by a certain time anyway one of girls meet a boy that she likes and she stays out later than she is meant to. The reason I like this book is because it is an interesting and it tells you the story of a typical teenage girl. Leanne, Dereham |

Malorie BlackmanNoughts & crosses |
|
|
I really like this book. It is the first in the trilogy. It is set in a world were Crosses rule and Noughts are just left out. You follow the lives of Sephy(Daughter of the Deputy Prime Minister) and Callum(a Nought) as they fall in love and try to live in a world demonated by class. I would recommend this book to girls 10+ and boys 9+. It is quite a challenging book as it is 478 pages long. Ruby |
