The Spiderwick Choronicles - Tony Diterlizzi and Holly Black

Just like the Harry Potters this review has to be done as a series. Faeries, magic, mystery. This series has it all. Now the Spiderwick Chronicles has been made into a film and I suggest you read the books before you see it. This series has a number of other books along with it: Beyond the Spiderwick Chronicles (Three books about after the Spiderwick Chronicles) and Arthur Spiderwick's guide to the fantastical world around you. This is a fabulous series and every book is as good as the next.

9/10

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.

The Hobbit - J.R.R Tolkien

The Hobbit is a great prequel to the Lord of the rings trilogy. The new movie is to be released soon after being postponed for ages. The Hobbit will delight many and is an ageless modern classic. If you've not read the Hobbit your missing great works! Although some readers may find it a little confusing at first it's still a great read! With a new movie soon to be released, The Hobbit is now more popular than ever! 8/10 fantastic!
