A Monster Calls - Patrick Ness - Original idea by Siobian Dowd

I was sucked into this the moment I read the first word. Literally, an outstanding novel which has won The Cilip Carnegie Medal, The Cilip Kate Greenaway Medal, The Galaxy National Book Awards, The Red House Children's Book Award, The Ukla Book Award- Did I mention The Cilip Carnegie Medal? Outstanding, simply outstanding. It doesn't deserve 10/10, not 11/10, nor 12/10- but over 100/10! One of the most Powerful and moving reads I have ever read. Magnificent.

10/10 Knock Knock...

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'
