Ruby Redfort Look into my Eyes by Lauren Child. Review by Isobel

This book is about Ruby Redfort who is a spy. Ruby is an incredibly smart kid who lives in Twinford, USA. She really wants to be a spy and one day everything in her house is stolen and Ruby wonders why. When Hitch, apparently a butler, turns up she knows that something odd is going on but doesn't know why or what. She is soon recruited by SPECTRUM, a secret agency, who are trying to find out about the mysterious death of Lopez, a top coder. Ruby soon discovers that there is more to the case than meets the eye and finds that a gang of crooks are trying to steal the Jade Buddha of Khotan, which is arriving at Twinford museum soon.
This book is very exciting and has lots of different gadgets in it, most of which Ruby steals! I think people who like a good mystery will really like this book.

Violet and the Hidden Treasure by Harriet Whitehorn. Review by Isobel

The second mystery in the Violet Remy-Robinson series is about the Maharajah of Bochir's cockatoo. Violet is taking a break from mystery solving and is on summer holiday in India with her godmother Celeste. She meets the Maharajah and also meets the Maharani, the Maharajah's cockatoo. The Maharajah missed his wife a lot when she died so as Maharani is the name for the Maharajah's wife, he named the cockatoo after her. Violet is very surprised when Rajesh the Maharajah's butler appears back at her house in London with the Maharani on Valentine's day. People have discovered that the Maharani is the clue to finding the treasure of the Maharajah, so lots of peoples are trying to birdnap the bird so they can get all the treasure. The trouble all starts when Angel, the Maharajah's niece moves into the neighbourhood and tries to trick Violet into giving the cockatoo to her.
This is a very exciting book and there are lots of twists and turns. I'd recommend it to fans of mystery  stories.

The Sirens of Surrentum by Caroline Lawrence. Review by Isobel

This book is about Flavia Gemina and her friends who go to spend the summer in Naples at the villa Limona with Felix as their host. Their friend Plucha, who is the daughter of Felix, thinks someone is trying to get rid of her mother, Polla, by poisoning her. They make a list of the people staying at the Villa Limona, for they could be suspects. They mostly suspect Annia Serena, Claudia Casta and Clodia Voluptua who has a pet panther because they might be in love with Felix and in order to marry him they need to get rid of Polla, his wife.
This is a very exciting book with lots of unexpected twists and turns and you never know what will be coming next! I'd recommend this book to people who like mysteries.

The Roman Mysteries: The Thieves of Ostia/Caroline Lawrence by Isobel

This book is about Flavia Gemina, her Jewish friend, Jonathan Mordecai, Nubia the slave girl and Lupus the tongue-less boy. They all live in Ancient Rome in the town of Ostia and the story starts when Flavia follows a magpie to get back her fathers signet ring and is attacked by a pack of wild dogs. Jonathan rescues her and they become friends. The next day they go to the market and buy Nubia as Flavia feels sorry for her because the slave master has stripped her naked and she is wearing nothing but a price tag! They meet Lupus in the graveyard. He has no tongue. They all find Jonathan's watchdog dead and decide to try to find who is killing the dogs of Ostia.
This book is very exciting and has quite a lot of suspense in it, especially when Aristis, a possible suspect, throws himself off a lighthouse.
I would recommend this book to people who like mystery and adventure stories.

Percy Jackson is at Merryweather School and is friends with a boy who is not really a boy, but a Cyclops, called Tyson. In gym class they are attacked by the Lastrygonians who are cannibal giants. Annabeth appears and takes Percy back to Camp Halfblood where Thalia's pine tree is dieing because Luke poisoned it, so monsters are able to get into the camp and destroy everything.
Percy, Annabeth and Tyson go on a quest to find the Golden Fleece on Polythemus' island. They face Circe the witch who now owns a spa, and turns Percy into a guinea pig, Charybides, the Sirens and a few other assorted monsters.
I really like this book. It's very funny and because it's set in modern times it's easy to relate to.
I would recommend this book to anybody who likes fantasy stories with a lot of excitement and monsters.

This book is about a boy called Percy Jackson. It is set in America, but there is a lot about Ancient Greece in there as well. Percy finds out that he is a "half blood"' half human, half god when he accidentally vaporises his pre-algebra teacher, Mrs Dodds! He has to go to live for the summer in Camp Half Blood because there are a lot of monsters that want to kill half bloods. He makes friends with Grover, a Satyr and Annabeth Chase, the daughter of Athena.
This book has lots of gods and monsters in it. It is quite fun to read and whatever you do, don't go into the Lotus Casino, Las Vegas. Enjoy!

A Midsummer Night's Dream graphic novel review by Isobel Jeffries

A Midsummer Night's Dream is set in Ancient Greece and is about four lovers. The first two lovers are Hermia and Lysander. Hermia's father Egeus wants her to marry Demetrius, but Hermia wants to marry Lysander (Lysander is also in love with Hermia). Hermia's friend Helena wants to marry Demetrius but he does not love her. Hermia and Lysander run away into the woods and Helena tells Demetrius. Demetrius follows them pursued by Helena.
In the woods Titania, Queen of the Fairies and Oberon, King of the Goblins, are having a fierce argument over a little changeling boy. Oberon sends Puck, his manservant to fetch a flower that makes people fall madly in love with the first living creature that they see. While Puck runs off to get the flower, Demetrius and Helena enter and Demetrius starts telling Helena to go away. There is lots of chasing and falling in love with the wrong people, and lots of magic. There are some mechanicals who want to put on a play for Duke Theseus' wedding to Hippolyta and Bottom who's very full of himself, has his head turned into a donkey's head by Puck. Titania falls in love with him.
I really liked this book and it's illustrations which are very detailed and I think I would recommend it to people who enjoy a fantasy read.

Wilma Tendefoot and the case of the frozen hearts by Emma Kennedy reveiw by Freya .b

THE BOOK!

model under cover stolen with style by Carina Axelsson Review by Freya B 💙

Fashion's most stylish detective!

16 year old Axelle was not going to New York fashion week just to moddel no, she was there to solve crime! It all started when after she'd solved her first mystrey (in Paris fashion week) Miriam her agent called her "Have you heared of the black amila?" I shook my head " well it was being used on a fashion shoot the problem is, it's missing!" So that is the start of the storyline,I have just finished the book and reading the first book (model under cover, a crime of fashion) I think I have done a report on that ( look in the comments ) 
YOU HAVE TO READ IT!!!!!!!👍👏👏👏

The Grunts All At Sea by Philip Ardagh and Axel Scheffler. Review by Helena

   


                      This book is the first series of the grunts (I think). Anyway if you have seen
                      my other review you will know what i'm talking about...

                      So this time in the Grunts, Mr Grunt has to deliver a POGI (which means a
                      person of great inportance). They travel in their little caravan without telling
                      anyone all ecept themselves. Iv'e not COMPLETLY finished reading it but i'm
                       nearly done... So I hope if you read this book you will like it and you can read
                   it twice and stuff like that. It's all very strange so you might not understand it
                  but you probally will so yeah.

Diary Of A Wimpey Kid, Rodrick Rules

This book is about a boy named Greg and his brother, Rodrick.

It is called Rodrick Rules because he rules and tells his brother what to do.

I think it's a good book because Greg sometimes goes to look after his neighbours dogs when they go away. This time Greg left it for a week and then went to clean up after the dog but the neighbours came home early and got angry with him.

I also like the way the book is written, with drawings and speech bubbles as it makes it more interesting to read and isn't just pages of writing.

Enid Blyton mysteries (the first 3 ) By Freya Blundel.

These 3 books are some of the less known Enid Blyton mysteries, the main characters Larry,Daisy,Pip,Bets,Fatty and Buster the dog,solve many, many mysteries more than clear'orf the village police man has. Not forgetting the freindly inspector whom had helped the children in many mysteries.ENJOY!
