Summary from Wheelers Books: "When Stanley Yelnats is sent to Camp Green Lake detention centre for a crime he did not commit, life becomes much more of a challenge. First of all he has to dig a hole a day - as deep as a man - in the baking Texas heat, looking for who knows what. Then he has to avoid the cruel Mr Sir and the menacing warden. Will Stanley survive in this hostile environment? This is a wonderful, heartwarming, funny and life-affirming novel that is both genuinely original and brilliantly written." My review: Holes is a great book. It is about a boy called Stanley Yelnats who is always in the wrong place at the wrong time. This time he got caught holding Clyde Livingston's shoes. Now he has to choose between Camp Green Lake or jail, but is Camp Green Lake the place he thought it would be? My favourite passage is when Miss Katherine Barlow has heaps of problems. So Sam the onion boy keeps saying "I can fix that" but then they kiss because Miss Katherine doesn't have anymore problems so she's upset that she won't see him anymore. I would recommend this book for Year 5 and up, and give it a rating of 5/5 because it has heaps of drama! Tess xo:):):) Check out my cool poster on the NiBs wall ...I've just taken home Lily Alone by Jacqueline Wilson, my favourite author. Here is the book trailer for you to watch while I read the book. Stay here and watch out for my review!!! Tess [: This is your new blog post. Click here and start typing, or drag in elements from the top bar. ABOUT: This is the second book in the fantastic Kane Chronicles. Join Carter and Sadie Kane as they embark on a journey no reawaken Ra, Sun God- King of all gods, from his sleeping retirement. HOOK: The hook is this book is great. The second line of the book is. "Look I don't have time for long introductions, I need to tell this story quickly or we all are going to die." I just couldn't put the book down! LINE: The fantastic adventures in this book include: A terrifying boat trip on the river of night, A break-in, setting brooklyn of fire, a underwater dive and a EPIC battle against Apophis. SINKER: Wow what a ending! I am truly satisfied with the ending. It left me waiting for the 3rd book! It was a truly great book and I enjoyed reading it. Be sure to read the 1st book: The Red Pyramid. FINAL REVIEW: I rate this book 9/10 and I recommend it for Year6+ If you have a interest in Rick Riordan's previous series including Percy Jackson. Ginnie Department 19 is an incredible story about Jamie Carpenter. The summary from Wheelers says: "In a secret supernatural battle that's been raging for over a century, the stakes have just been raised -- and they're not wooden anymore. In a secret supernatural battle that's been raging for over a century, the stakes have just been raised -- and they're not wooden anymore. When Jamie Carpenter's mother is kidnapped by strange creatures, he finds himself dragged into Department 19, the government's most secret agency. Fortunately for Jamie, Department 19 can provide the tools he needs to find his mother, and to kill the vampires who want him dead. But unfortunately for everyone, something much older is stirring, something even Department 19 can't stand up against!" What I thought: I loved it even though it got scary during some parts yet would happily review another one like it! Will Hill made it easy to picture what was going on and what the characters looked like. I rated this 9/10 Rhianna =P Guys Read is quite funny, many famous authors have contibuted to this book, but my favourite story is by Jeff Kinney who also writes Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Well, the story is about two brothers who are usually found having a fight about something unimportant anyway they have invented a new game called 'last licks'. What you need: 1 dog, 1 old manky dog toy (soft only) and 2 brothers How to play: they will throw the toy at each other who ever threw it at the other person and hits them gets 'last licks' and get to tease the other person that they have 'last licks'. BUT, player 2 can throw it back and gain 'last licks' Also the dog gets excited that his/her toy is getting thrown about so he/she will run away with it which means the player who doesn't have last licks will have to wrestle the dog to get it back. winner is the person who has 'last licks' when dad wakes up!! I rate this book 5/5 and just because it says guys read doesn't mean its just for guys. Alice B. Can you guys tell me what book has made your heart thump???
Mine is Goosebumps they are insanely scary ... try 'Go eat worms' by R.L. Stine or any of the others! Alice B. |
