I am lucky enough to live by the sea and this book describes everything perfectly. The book deals with bullying and the fact that it can be overcome, friends are important, and adults can do the right thing. 5 out of 5 stars.

Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer

I think Artemis Fowl is a book that requires a lot of concentration to read. The plot is a little more complicated then most children's books. The authors development of the characters is fantastic that leads to a book that is very difficult to put down. A book that can be a little difficult to read in places but definitely worth 4 out of 5 stars.

Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer

I much prefer Artemis Fowl to Harry Potter the characters are developed using the authors fantastic sense of humour. The characters are so imaginative, the main ones being Artemis who is a child genius and an arch villain. Artemis Fowls bodyguard Butler who is devoted to his young charge and will do anything to keep him safe. Add this to Artemis Fowls enemies who include the fairy police and you have a mad roller coaster of a book that is worth more than 5 out of 5.

This book is a must have for Jacqueline Wilson. It is the story of her life, from her childhood in the 1950s. Holidays in Bournemouth and the hours spent making dolls clothing.

Sleep-over's by Jacqueline Wilson

I borrowed this book off my 10 year old sister, so I thought it might be a bit young for me. Firstly, I must say how much I enjoyed this book. The Alphabet club are having a birthday sleep over. Daisy is worrying about what the other girls will think about her older sister who as special needs. The characters in this book are true to life, Chloe who is a nice girl when adults are around, but turns into a right witch when the girls are on their own. An excellent book for 5 to 10 year old's, maybe a little young for me, but I still enjoyed it. My younger sister says this should have 5 out of 5 stars. I think it is definitely worth 4 out of 5 stars. Amanda aged 13.
