Mrs Pepperpot Stories by Alf Proysen 

Review by Sarra-Lina (3JO)

This book consists of a character called Mrs Pepperpot who can shrink to a size of a pepper pot at the most inconvenient times. She does not even need to say a magic word such as: ‘Abracadabra’. Mrs. Pepperpot enjoys adventures. One of those interesting moments was when she shrank and travelled on the cat’s back to a hay barn and discovered a few kittens by noticing the jewels of their eyes. She could even understand cat language!

I enjoyed this book ever so much because you never know what is going to happen next.

I would recommend to people who enjoy comedy.

 

The Secret Diary of Thomas Snoop: Tudor Boy Spy by Philip Ardagh

Review by Matilda (4SM)

This book is about a boy called Thomas Snoop. He is in training to become a spy and he has got a mission by his mysterious boss. There has been a Spanish king planning a murder and treason.

I loved all of the illustrations. It had all the detail that it needed.

I would recommend this to people 6+ because there is a picture of a murder so some kids might get scared.

 

Nora and the Map of Mayhem by Joseph Elliot

Review by Austin (5VF)

This story is about an old lady who is a great-grandmother who has great-grandchildren. One is called Atticus, who is a boy, and the other is a girl called Autumn. Atticus is ten, always on his phone and Autumn is three, always needing help wiping her bum. The old lady is called Nora and she loves drinking pina coladas. She is a monster hunter and has an Infinity Bag with all the items she needs to go monster hunting. An Infinity Bag is a bag and when you put loads of stuff in it, it never gets full. 

My favourite character is Atticus because I can relate to him in many ways, like he is always on his device like me and he is a similar age to me. The main character is Nora.

I would rate this book 10/10 and I would recommend this book to people who like adventure, comedy and scary stories. 6+ if you are reading with a adult and 7+ if you are reading on your own.

 

Tell Me No Lies by Malorie Blackman

Review by Lana (6EF)

Gemma feels all alone and has no one to talk to. Her parents are divorced and her dad and brother are always fighting. Gemma wishes that she could just block out the entire world sometimes. Mike is new in town. Gemma has an opportunity to make herself less invisible. Will she take it even if it means hurting someone else? The spinning web of lies continues. 

I really enjoyed the tense scenes and the suspenseful parts in the book. 

I would recommend it to anyone who loves a good thriller. This is one of my favourite books ever!
