My book review - The Nothing To see Here Hotel by Steven Butler

This is an amazing book that I really enjoyed reading with my sister Arrietty. It has excellent characters that make you laugh. It's a book about Frankie and his parents running a hotel. It's a fictional story and the drawings are really cool and awesome. I loved the funny bits.


I would give this a 7/10

My book review on - Gargantis (The Legends of Eerie-on-sea) by Thomas Taylor

If you have read Malamander you will love Gargantis, as this is the second book in the series.
This book is about a boy called Herbie and a girl called Violet and what life is like for them.
This is a Fictional story full of plot twists. I loved the characters and I especially loved the cliff hangers, without spoiling it further.




I have given this book a 8/10 because I really enjoyed it and if you loved Malamander the first book as much as I did, you will really enjoy reading this as it is just as good as the first book.

My book review on - So you want to be an owl by Jane Porter

This is a fabulous book about an owl school and learning about being an owl.
I learned a lot about being an owl from it, including how owls live. I liked all of the facts about owls and how it's also funny at times in the bubbles. This book is a picture book with amazing illustrations suitable for any age and I would highly recommend it as you learn lots and its got cute owls and glasses in. I was expecting this book to be a story but to my surprise and delight I found an amazing fact book.

I would give this book 9/10

My book review on - Time school - We will honour them by Nikki Young





Time school is an amazing book, it is about a group of friends who take a train and end up travelling back in time and learn about Nadia's Polish Grandfather and what it was like for refugees. I really enjoyed reading it. I would highly recommend reading this book. Time school is a great book about time travel, love and friendship and it has an amazing ending.                                                                      

I found this book really easy to read and it's short chapters made you read about half the book in one go, each chapter was as exciting as the last. The characters were amazing and you could tell they were best friends and would be for a very long time, each character was brilliant in their own way.

I would give this book an 8.5 because it was an excellent story and easy to read and I enjoyed reading it.

My book review on - The Siege of Caerlverock by Barbara Henderson

This is a book based in the year 1300 about a girl called Ada who is a strong and brave 12 year old girl, who becomes best friends with an 8 year old boy called Godfrey. This book is about a historic castle and what happens when there was a war in the olden days and about how badly people, prisoners and servants were treated. It is a story that shows friendship and bravery and the characters fight for what they believe is right and are very heroic.
Not only is this book exciting but it is also action packed. It features lots of historic references using different terminology for things, so if you love history you will love this book.

I think this is an interesting book and I would definitely like to visit the location now after reading this book.


I would rate this book 7.5 only due to there being some difficult words. There is a reference guide to these words at the back which is helpful for some of them. It's the first type of book that I have read with older words. Thank you for letting me experience this.




I lent this book to my Grandma and she said, "The book gripped me from the first chapter and I wanted to read more. Ada and Godfrey were exceptional children, Brave and older than their years. They just wanted to do the right thing and help others. The story was exiting throughout and historical as well ".



Overall I would recommend this book.
