Review of Sapphire Battersea by Aisha Ali

 This novel is by an author called Jacqueline Wilson. The storyline of this book continues from the book called "Hetty Feather" which is also written by this author.

The plot of this book is in an orphanage home where a young girl is determined to find someone she has been looking for her whole life. The genre of this book is adventure and I think that this book is suitable to be read by anybody who is above ten year old because it is very interesting. The storyline continues in a book called "Emerald Star" which is also about the same young girl who keeps on having different adventures to find somebody dear to her.

I like this book because you are always excited to know what is going to happen next and the story does not end with one book, there story continues from three books.

I would give it 5 stars. This is a funny book.

HUNGER GAMES REVIEW BY ALAMIN

 HUNGER GAMES REVIEW


The story is set in the future, after the destruction of North America. The country is called Panem. There are twelve poor districts governed by the rich Capital. There was a thirteenth district in the past but the Capitol destroyed them because they rebelled.  

The story is about Katniss Everdeen, a sixteen-year-old girl. Her father died and now she has to kill animals for her family to eat. Her younger sister, Prim, is chosen to be a tribute, but Katniss volunteers to go instead. The other “tribute” from District 12 is a boy named Peeta. -  

One night in 2003, Suzanne Collins was watching TV. It was at the time of the US invasion of Iraq. The only programmes she could find on TV were ‘reality’ programmes of young people competing to win a million of pounds  and news programmes about the war.  This gave her idea to do Hunger Games.

The witches by Roald Dahl

The witches is about a young orphan boy who lives with his grandmother, and they go on holiday and in the hotel as the young boy is having fun. The boy finds out that the hotel has some ordinary guests which get rid of every child forever.....

I think the witches is an amazing book because it keeps you occupied and you get really eager to keep on reading, I just can't put the book down!

I would give this book 5/5 because it really hooks the reader onto the book and you'll love it so much that you'll keep on reading it over and over again. 
I think this book is targeted at any age because no matter how old you are you would love this book.





Gifted Hands - The Ben Carson story

RBen Carson, an extrodinary man that gives dying children a second chance.

This tells the life of a man and how he went through all these struggles of rasicm, prejudice and bullying only finding help through God and a caring mother to become one the most renowned neurosurgeons in the world. 

Teenagers and adults alike will be emerged in this book and find them selfs reading for hours on end. It will test the reading skills of many confident readers so don't take this story half-heartedly.

I love this book because its as if your there with him through all those events in his life and you feel everything he feels he captures the moment perfectly and puts it into words. One moment your laughing and he next the next fearing for his life. He cleverly goes through his life story taking every step of the way. 

This book will tug on every heart string in your body and have you on the edge of your seat, his in inticif story telling and use of structure and use of words put this novel on the top of my to-read-list.

The boy in the stripped pyjamas

After a visit by Adolf Hitler his father is promoted to commander therefore he would have to move to out to a house with a concentration camp far behind the house however not to far but you could see it in the distance.
Bruno father never told him about the camp and Bruno was to young to realise so he decided to go and explore without anyone know.

Both boys then learn they share the same birthday. Very soon the become best friends, however Bruno still doesn't understand the situation...

This is a really good book and very emotional. I would rate this book a 5 stars as it has a really good moral and story. To enjoy the book you would need to understand it . I would suggest that this book is read by a person with the reading age of 13 or above.

The twits

 Mr and Mrs Twits are two old useless smelly people who are married and play practical jokes on each other having their monkey stand up side down after playing pranks on each other they pranked the monkeys and the birds. Luckily the roly poly bird was their to save the day and saved them by warning them about the tree and helped the Monkey. They turned the house upside down and used a special glue to trap them. The twits shrank and the monkey and bird were free.

I would recommend this book to young kids ages 7-11 as this is a comedy book that makes people laugh. I would recommend this book a 8/10 because it could make people laugh easily and make someone who is in a bad mood in a Good mood.
