Philippa Fisher's Fairy Godsister

This book is about a girl called Philippa and she has two embarrassing parents. They both are entertainers and can both do magic. When the new girl from school comes to Philippa, she is surprised to hear that the new girl (called Daisy) is a fairy. Daisy had been told to give Philippa three wish vouchers, but each wish seems to make things worse.

The first three famous five books



I find the famous five books adventurous and scary at the same time.
I have only read 3 of the books (we don't have no.4) but already I feel
that famous five books are so good that I could spend a whole day reading
them.
I recommend this series to children age 8+ and to children who really like
having adventures.
These books are all medium sized with around 250 pages.
Happy reading!

Horrible Geography Bloomin' Rainforests


I'm afraid to say that this book is quite boring.
Although it tells you a lot about rain forests, I don't find it very interesting.
I think it is the same with all horrible geography books, they are all quite boring but they have brilliant pictures, which is good.
This book is quite small with 125 pages.
I recommend this book to you if you find geography fascinating.

Harry Potter


Harry Potter books are the best. They are full of adventure and danger. Although the books are long, (one is even 766 pages) they make you want to read on and on. My favourite character in the stories is Harry because he has lots of adventures and is very brave. Some of his adventures include going in a flying car and competing in the tri wizard tournament. I also like Hermione because she likes studying but is also up for adventure. My favourite part of Harry Potter is in book 5. This is when Ron and Hermonie become prefects. All of the books are quite fat. I recommend this book to 8-14 year olds.

The fabulous girls book


Wow! What a super book, and perfect for Christmas presents too! I’m sure girls aged 7-12 years will love this fantastic girly book. It’s crammed with information and tips about how to be the coolest girl in the country and how to really stand out from the crowd.
From cooking scrumptious treats to making your hair curly, there is something for every girl in here! Tips include to wear your hair in a plait on an aeroplane because when you wear a ponytail your hair will go everywhere - it will be uncomfortable when you lean back in your seat. Another tip is examples of some things to put in your hand luggage such as lip balm and hand moisturiser.

Mystical Magic



This is a lovely book that tells you about the history of magic and how to do some tricks including how to make a ball go through a cup. It also tells you about famous magicans and their animals that they used for their tricks. It is medium sized with 157 pages.

I think children aged 6-10 will like this book.

The bullybusters joke book


Are bullies bullying you (or your children)? If they are, this is the book for you! It gives you funny jokes and tells you about ways to stop being being bullied. It also tells you that bullies are the coward, not you ( although they may make you think that you are). It is a thin book with 93 pages. Recommended to 5-8 year olds.

Diary Of a Wimpy Kid Dog Days


Just by reading this book I found out that American books rule!
This is another hilarious tale by Jeff Kinney which got me laughing out loud. I recommend this book to 6-11 year olds. It is quite fat and has 214 pages in it. It also has a bit of the Diary Of a Wimpy Kid Do-It-Yourself book at the end.

The Magic Finger


This book by Roald Dahl is a real winner.
It is suitable for readers that are too old for baby books and not yet ready for most Roald Dahl stories like The Twits.
I don't know where Roald Dahl gets his ideas from.
I wish I had the the same writing style as him.
This book is very thin and it has 56 pages
I recommend this book for 5-6 year olds, but I still liked it and I am 7!

The boy in the dress

This is an incredible book. It is different, funny, clever and sad. I don’t know how I ever lived without it.

The book is about a boy called Dennis. His Mum and his Dad have split up. During this story he gets expelled from his school for wearing a dress and pretending to be his friend Lisa’s French pen pal. Dennis is also the star striker in the school football team, but once he is expelled, he can’t play. What will happen next? Who can save the day? The only way for you to find out is to read it.
