Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. Review by Isobel

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.

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.

Demon Dentist by David Walliams- Helena Ratcliffe

                         Demon Dentist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                 Demon dentist is about a crazy dentist called Miss Root. She wants all of the
                 childrens teeth to make a tooth palace. The main charcters are a boy called
                 Alfie, his dad, his friend, Gabz (who happens to be a girl), the cat fang who eats
                 living flesh! and last but not least Raj the newsagent.


                 I like this book and I think you should read it because Its really funny and even
                 though it's not a new book I think its one and David Walliams best books yet!!!

                 So I hope you like reading this book...

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.
