The Book of Dead Days - Marcus Sedgewick

The thought I had inside my head when I had read the first chapter was: wow! Marcus Sedgwick is an amazing author and no book of his will ever be the same as another. This is a rare but fabulous quality of an author. This book is aimed at secondary school children but children aged 10+ should be able to manage it fairly easily. The sequel to this book is the dark flight down, other books by Marcus Sedgewick are 'my swordhand is singing' and 'Midwinter blood'. You can see his whole collection of books at:

9/10, Fabulous!

The Blood Stone - Jamila Gavin

This was a great read! A bit confusing at times as it slides from past to present tense regularly. But other than that it is fairly easy to get through. I enjoyed this book because of the adventure and mystery it has in it. 8/10 This was an intriguing read.

The graveyard book - Neil Gaiman

Like ghosts, spirits. Graveyards? Well read the book! Winner of the Carnegie medal 2010 this book is full of mystery. Can young Bod, who has been raised in the graveyard escape the man Jack, who has already killed his family? An irresistible book, deserves to become a modern classic. 7/10 A masterpiece.
