The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane

The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane is about a china rabbit called Edward Tulane who belongs to a ten yeard old girl called Abilene. Edward is a very vain rabbit who is very up himself. He has a whole wardrobe of silk clothes and gold pocket watches. When the Tulane family are leaving their home and moving Abilene's grandmother reads them a story about a princess who never loved just like Edward. When the Tulane family is on board the boat two boys take Edward and throw him overboard. While Edward was sinking to the bottom of the sea he has time to think about what sort of life he has lived, and that he has never loved anyone. Through Edward's journey he learns to love and hate and meets a variety of people including; a sailors wife, a hobo, and he has a variety of different jobs including; puppet scarecrow and many others. During his journey of around seven years he learnt one important lesson it is better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at all. Edward Tulane is a wonderful book about love and loss and out of all I would rate it a seven out of ten.

The Boy Who Lost His Face - book review


The Boy Who Lost His Face is written by Louis Sachar. This book is about David Ballinger's life. It starts off when David is trying to impress the cool kids by helping to steal an old woman’s cane. when the boys took the cane David flipped the old lady off and she put a curse on him "Your Doppelganger will regurgitate on your soul!” David first thought this was nothing but when he was going through his everyday life everything that the boys did to the old lady started happening to him. When David asks for her too take the curse off him she demands her cane back. If you want too know what happened in the rest of the book you have too read the book. Overall I would rate this book a six out of ten. It wasn't as good as previous Louis Sachar books I've read but I would recommend it for people who like reading chapter books that aren't to long.

Extreme adventures: "Man Eater" book review


The extreme adventures book "Man Eater" Was a book written by Justin D'ath.It is a very extreme and full on book. It has events constantly on and off. This book is about a kid called Sam Fox that goes and explores the jungle but something terrible happens.Fire ants invade his boat so he gets forced overboard and into the dangerous creek! Sam Fox gets trapped in the jungle with a giant Anaconda in the river, and a giant Man eating beast! Will he escape? Well you're going to have to read the book to find out. Poachers, Anacondas, tribes, and of course...The man eater. This is a very interesting book and trust me, you will NOT get bored of it! This book can be read by any old average reader. Recommended for intermediate students. I personally Rate this book a high 9/10.

Skullduggery Pleasant - book review


Skulduggery Pleasant is a great book written by Derek Landy. It is the first in the series. While you are reading the book you follow the story of Stephanie Edgley as she learns that there is another world inside her own. The story begins when Stephanie's uncle Gordon dies just after finishing one of his novels. Stephanie learns soon after about this strange new world when she is attacked by a mysterious creature looking for the key. While this creature is trying to kill Stephanie the doors of the house blow off and in comes Skulduggery Pleasant. Stephanie finds out about Skulduggery the dead Skeleton detective and becomes his partner to held find the sceptre of the ancients and stop Skulduggery's arch enemy Nefarian Serpine and save her world from the magical gods the Faceless Ones. Skulduggery Pleasant is a funny, horror, Sci - Fi. Abook that just wants you to keep reading. I suggest this book for advanced readers who enjoy a good book. I would rate it a seven out of ten and say I can't wait to read the next one.
