ANIMAL FARM

ANIMAL FARM by George Orwell 144 pp. Penguin Group. £8.99. (Ages 13 and up) ISBN 9780141182704 Rating: ? Stars     This book is set in a future when animals are much cleverer than now. And because of their cleverness, the pigs started a revolution against the humans. Pigs could speak fluently in English unlike the other animals, and that gave them the power to be leaders. But, the story that follows only happened a few years after that...     Their first leader, Old Major, was kind and fair who knew animals should be equal. But when Napoleon became the leader it was very unpleasant. He made a rule that allowed the pigs to have better food and that forced all of the other animals to work crazily hard every day and night. That wasn’t enough, Napoleon wanted more power.     He decided to kill his brother, Snowball, so that he would be the only leader. Snowball was admired because he came up with a clever idea to build windmill. Sn...

VIKINGS (BBC FACT FINDER)

VIKINGS (BBC FACT FINDER) By Peter Chrisp. 48 pp. BBC Books. Out-of-print. (Ages 8 and up) ISBN 9780563352600 Rating: 4 Stars I read this book to learn about Vikings for school. The Vikings came from Denmark, Norway and Sweden. We sometimes call the Vikings "sea raiders". There once was a King called Cnut, who had a long war with England, Then they decided they would have peace. After England's king died Cnut was made King of England. He was a lot like an English king because he was Catholic. I also happened to watch a BBC movie on Vikings. However the movie was wrong because it said the Vikings were the second Europeans to go to North America when they were the first.

THE IMPROBABLE CAT

THE IMPROBABLE CAT By Allan Ahlberg. 128 pp. Puffin. £5.99. (Ages 8 and up) ISBN 9780141314907 Rating: 3.5 Stars This is quite a good book, because it haunts you a bit.       It's about a boy, who's family one day see a limping grey kitten on there doorstep so they took it in put it on the couch then started to stroke it like anyone would do to a kitten. However, the cat was hypnotizing them and in a week it was twice it's size.       I think that if you really like cat's that you should not read this book because the cat is bad.       I would only recommend it if you have another book with you or are only reading for a short time. If I put this book out of five I'd definitely say 3 1/2 .

ISLAND OF THE BLUE DOLPHINS

ISLAND OF THE BLUE DOLPHINS By Scott O'Dell. 192 pp. Houghton Mifflin. $6.99 (Ages 8 and up) ISBN 9780547328614 Rating: 5 Stars This book is about a girl named Karana. Karana lives on a small island, called Island of the Blue Dolphins, her Father is the Chief. The mane thing to know is that she gets left behind on the island. I really liked this book because it is sad and because she has animal friends. I like that she has animal friends because I wish I had animal friends. This is one of my favorite books; actually it's very close to being my favorite. Even though this book looks thin when you are reading it it seems as though it is as fat as my table because so many unforgettable things happen. An interesting thing to know is that the Aleuts came to hunt sea otter. My favorite part is when Karana and her dog are in a cave and suddenly sea a giant devil fish outside on the sea, it is actually twice as big as there canoe. If I put this book out of five I would definitely sa...

GRACE

GRACE By Morris Gleitzman 192 pp. Puffin. £6.99. (Ages 12 and up) ISBN 9780141336039 Rating: ? Stars We borrowed this book twice from the library but the first time I didn’t read it because I was busy reading other books. You may think that I finally started reading this book because it had a really cool cover or because the name sounded exciting. If you did think one these things then you are completely wrong because the front cover was only a picture of a girl and the name of the book was the name of the girl, Grace. The reason I read this book was actually because I had been to the Red House Book Awards and he was one of the people that might have won the award, so I thought it must be a good book then and decided to read the book. You are probably wondering what the book is about. It is about a girl called Grace who starts doing what she calls ‘sins’. In her church the dad always gets the blame. Because of this her dad gets expelled, which means he has to go away and never gets...
