When the Morris family get lost trying to find a theme park they stumble upon horror land instead in horror land there are no crowds no queues and the admission is free.
The Morrises think its a pretty cool place. 
But there's that heart stopping ride on the doom slide. And that terrifying experience in the house of mirrors. There's something weird about horror land. 
Something a little too creepy, something a little too real. 
Its a good book to read.

wimpy kid the third wheel by Jasmine

its a funny book about...

A boy called Greg who asks a girl called Abigail to come to the Valentine's Dance with him.  But it turns out to be a total disaster.  Some old people say they have a meeting in the hall where the dance is to be held.  So half the hall is for the old people, and half for the Dance - but they have to have the lights on and the music low, which spoils the theme of Midnight in Paris. The boy who was meant to go with Abigail, but who dumped her, was there with another girl, and Abigail saw him, and cried for the rest of the dance.

Weird But True! 300 Outrageous Facts by Simeon Watts

This is a very good facts book for children with tonnes of different really interesting facts. Here are my six favourite facts.

1. A Canadian woman rode a motorised toilet up to 46 miles per hour!
2. Some crabs are bright purple.
3. A candy company makes Gummy Bears the size of footballs.
4. The world's largest bat has a wingspan as wide as a sofa.
5. It is possible for a crocodile to eat a shark.
6. Bees once made blue and green honey after picking up colourful waste from an M&Ms factory!

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes fact books. Hana Horbury in 4GR might like this fact: "There is a horse that is so small she sleeps in a doghouse." I think Hana might like this because she likes horses and horse riding.

Candyfloss/Jacqueline Wilson by Isobel

This book is about a girl with frothy hair like candyfloss, whose name is Flora Barnes. She lives with her Dad at his greasy spoon cafe. Unfortunately they can't keep Charlie's Cafe, which is turned into a Starbucks. They buy a chip van, but it burns down so they move to the funfair and meet Rose, the candy floss lady, who looks after them. Flora makes friends with a girl called Susan after falling out with her first friend, Rhiannon. Rhiannon makes friends with Judy and Margot.

Anne Frank/Susanna Davidson by Isobel

This book is all about Anne Frank, who was a Jewish girl who wrote a diary in World War 2. She had to live in a special annexe because the Nazis hated the Jewish people and Anne and her family were in danger of being sent to a concentration camp. People did not often come back from the camps.
In 1938 Anne heard of Kristallnacht, or the Night of Broken Glass when Nazis beat up Jewish people, smashed home and shop windows and burnt 1000 synagogues (a Jewish church).

Anne and her family lived in Amsterdam in the Netherlands, which the Nazis invaded in 1940.
Anne stayed as cheerful as she could throughout the war, even when she caught typhus in the camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau. This was to keep her older sister Margo happy. Anne died of typhus in 1945 but now she's become famous! I would recommend this book to 8 years and over!                                                    

Atticus the Storyteller 100 Greek myths - Simeon

This is a collection of 101 Greek myths told by Atticus the story teller. He was a real person. My favourite myth was the cuckoo's trick because I like Greek myths and also it's quite a funny story. It's about Zeus wanting to marry Hera when Zeus gives Hera tons of magical presents and the present that I liked most was a flower that bloomed a different colour each day. But interestingly Hera still wouldn't marry Zeus. Then Hera said that Zeus wouldn't be able to marry her until Zeus would be able to sit on her lap without her noticing. Then Zeus stomped of to his palace and made the most enormous thunder storm ever and turned in to a cuckoo and flue to Hera's palace thro the rain. now I wont tell you any more because that would be giving the story away but I do recommend this book to year threes for their topic of ancient Greece.

Clean Break/Jacqueline Wilson by Isobel

'Clean Break' is about Em, her little sister Vita, her even younger brother Maxie. Their Dad leaves their Mum for a lady called Sarah. Em tells lots of stories to keep her brother and sister happy, and meets her favourite author, Jenna Williams. She also breaks her arm, get a reindeer puppet called Dancer, and is given a real emerald ring by her Dad.

This book is all about Ada Goth and her fight against 'The Grocers of the Night'-vampires who want to drink the blood of the best chefs in England, who all happen to be gathered at Ghastly Gorm Hall (where Ada lives) for the 'The Great Ghastly Bake-Off'. The chefs are;
William Flake and his cat Tyger-Tyger

Nigellina Sugarspoon
Gordon Ramsgate
Miss Mary Huckleberry
Hollyhead
Heston Harboil and his Muscovy Duck Pushkin.

Lucy Borgia, Ada's governess, gives Ada umbrella fencing lessons on the rooftops of Ghastly Gorm Hall. These come in useful at the end of the story.

This book is excellent. I recommend it for children who like spooky twists to their stories.

BEST BOOK EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Clumsies Make A Mess - by Sorrel Anderson. Reviewed by Tom Akerman

This is a good comedy book about two mice, a dog and a elephant, all thinking about the same thing - the most waggy  tail competition. This story is very funny because the human in the story called Howard found a elephant in the storage room. The weakness is that it can get a bit weird. I recommend this book for people who like fun books.

Tom Gates Genius Ideas (Mostly)- Tom Akerman

This book is very funny because in some situations like when he was in the school concert show, Tom Gates' guitar went horribly out of tune. In this book there are some fantastic illustrations and jokes. Looking on the negative side, there was not really a story just a few things that have happened in Tom Gates' life. All in all, I  would give this book a mark of seven out of ten.
