Door to Secrets by Mouahmed

When I read it I liked it a lot, it made sense all the way through. My favorite bit was the middle because the person who was in the story went to the jungle and the pirate island.

This book was about a girl that worked a lot in a house. She wanted to go to a ball.

James and the Giant Peach review by Tyson

Author: Roald Dahl
Illustrator: Quentin Blake



This book is about a kid who lives with his Aunties. He went to this giant peach and he found bugs in there like a ladybettle. They had adventures like the peach being eaten by a shark!

My favorite part of the book was when the sharks were eating the giant peach because the birds helped them get away.

It was funny that the bugs could talk. It was an interesting book I give it a 10 out of 10!


You should read this book cause it has a good cover,  it is clever and good and the bugs are funny.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid, by Will, Turlough, Curtis and Abe

Author: Jeff Kinney



The story is about a wimpy kid bored by his brother Rodrick. It is a diary, journal entry. It is about a boy that is picked on all the time, he is the main character his name is Greg Heffely.

My favorite part of the book is when Greg gets the 'cheese touch'. The 'cheese touch' is a touch that goes around, it's like a gross cheese. Will's favorite part is when Greg goes to the ice-skating rink and gets a girlfriend. It is also funny when he goes into the ladies toilets because he thinks it;s the boys toilets. He's gets trapped and so the old ladies try to kick him out. They eventually get in and then he gets out through the bottom of the toilets and escapes.

I like this book because he goes through a lot of different stories in the book. There are a lot of different tasks they go through. WiIl: I like this book because connect with Rowley because I sort of do the same things as him, such as going to friends' houses and I'm sometimes naughty.


People should read this book because it's funny, good and you can collect them. You might learn something, such as not to be silly.

The Naughtiest Girl in School by Phoebe

Author: Enid Blyton

This is book is about a girl named Elizabeth who doesn't want to go to school but was sent to school. Her parents can't look after her anymore because they had to go to another place. She is sent to a boarding school. It's a place where the kids have to sleep, have dinner and learn. She thought it was horrid at the start then she makes a friend and she becomes happy.

My favorite part of the book was when she became nice as she was naughty before, this makes another person happy, a girl called Joan. Joan was always sad. Everybody called her names, like a Mouse and they said 'Where do you keep your cheese?' She bought Joan some stamps and helped her send letters to her parents. Elizabeth talked to Joan and asked her to be her friend. Joan was not a naughty character, Elizabeth was naughty because her parents spoilt her. Joan always tried to help Elizabeth not be mad at others. They were both sad at first because they didn't have any friends, they were similar to each other and this helped them connect.

I like the book because it was funny because Elizabeth uses funny language when she's angry, such as 'poo'. We use words like 'drats', ' shot' and I think it's funny because of the words in the book. It might be  a true story, like my Mum's Dad went to boarding school, that's a true story.

I think people should read this book because it's a true story and it's very interesting.
