Sylvie's Seahorse - Mara Bergman by Vittoria Kingham

There lived a girl called Sylvie, she always wanted to swim so every Saturday they went swimming, but one Saturday she went with her uncle and her cousin Matt  to the aquarium and she saw seahorses and she loved them. When she did go to the swimming pool she drowned and got scared but the second time she went swimming she was so brave and swam the whole pool. Her mum  taught her how to swim .
I liked this book because it felt like they were talking about me and my mum .

Opal Moonbaby by Maudie Smith. Review by Isobel Jeffries

This book is about an alien called Opal Moonbaby who comes down to Earth to complete  her CIA (Carnilian Independence Award). She makes friends with Martha and her younger brother Robbie.
Opal has a special sort of animal called a Mingle, which is a mixture of 6 different animals. Opal needs to have Garnet (the Mingle) next to her at all times otherwise she expires.
When Opal is on Carnilia she lives with her uncle Bixbite who rules over Carnilia and Martha has to protect Opal from the Mercurials, who come from Mercury. They want to steal Opal's eye power so that she has to spend the rest of her life on Planet Drabber and they will be able to take over Carnilia.

If you like funny books about aliens then this book is definitely for you.
