Barnaby Grimes: Curse Of The Werewolf - Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell

This was quite a good story, but to be critical of it, the one thing I thought about it, was that it spent a long time building up the story, building up the tension, getting ready for a grand finale: But then it ended literally, in a page of hurried writing. I wouldn't say it was unenjoyable, I wouldn't tell you not to read it. I'm just saying that it sadly didn't make the mark for me as it failed to meet my expectations. But on the good hand, it did have a fantastic starter. Although that might have been the books weakness, saying that the ending was so unsatisfactorily.

6/10 I wouldn't say its the worst I've read, but it wasn't the best...

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
