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

Gone - Michael Grant

As thrilling as the Hunger games I'd say! This is an electrifying read! For older children, the gone books in order are: Gone, Hunger, Lies, Plague and Fear. You won't want to put it down, I didn't anyway! Michael Grant is a seriously good author and he also has a new book called bzrk. I rate this fabulous novel 10/10 A fantastic read!

Journey To Jo'burg - Beverley Naidoo

This was a novella My class read in school, and to be perfectly honest; for a fiction book it was very dry and just far too 'non-fiction' for a fiction book. So for me, this book was sadly a no. It had a lot in it for a novella, and I can see why we read it in class, especially for English. But unfortunately it just didn't have that 'humph' if you get what I'm talking about. 3/10 For me this wasn't a fiction it was a non-fiction, despite what the cover says...

Clockwork Angel - Cassandra Clare

This is the best book I've read in a while and I must say I'm quite impressed. I was gripped to the story during the first minute of reading. An amazing plot. An amazing style of writing, I just loved this amazing book! 10/10 I can't wait to read the sequel 'Clockwork Prince'
