Time Riders: Gates of Rome

Time Riders: Gates of Rome - Alex Scarrow

This series never stops getting better! This is the book in the middle or so in the series that unlocks a lot of secrets, leaving mystery and suspense in the air, this makes you really want to read the next books so that you can find out the secrets for yourself.. This means that there could be a lot more Time Riders novels published, hooray! Going back to this particular installment though: If you have ever heard of or read any of Simon Scarrow's books (Alex's Brother) then you're in for a surprise, as Simon's books are about ancient Rome, Gladiators etc. (NOTE: They are adult books but the Time Riders are Teen Fiction) Alex has included some of the characters! This makes the book quite interesting!

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'
