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.

Deadly 60s Factbook: Minibeasts, Spiders and Insects - reviewed by Simeon

This book is about tons of deadly creatures and insects. Some as long as your arm. Here are some of my favourite facts in this fact book:

• They are at the very least 350 species of beetles, more than an other type of animal!
• The longest stick insect is 56.7cm, possibly as long as your arm!
• The biggest giant Weta (a bug) weighs up to 71g, more than three times the weight of a house mouse!
• The ant lion (another bug) digs a conical pit in sandy ground and sits half buried at the bottom, waiting to seize other insects that wander by and tumble into the trap
• A Hercules Beetle can lift an awesome 850 times its own weight. That's like a human lifting 10 elephants!

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes Deadly 60 and likes facts.

Captain Underpants and the big Bad Battle of the Bionic Booger Boy Part 1 and part 2 - reviewed by Simeon

This is another novel of Captain Underpants! It is a very very funny book and it is about a mean boy that's a scientist turning into a giant monster covered in snot, called bionic booger boy. He turns into it when he went home after school, after he had created a Combine-o-tron 2000 and combined himself and a robot. When he was combining he sneezed, so the snot got combined as well! And that's how he turned into the bionic booger boy. He asked Harold and George to make a book about him being very good, and the best and the king. The book was about Melvin, who made a robot monster, and he made tons of new rules about him being the new mayor. There was no humming, no smiling, no talking, no reading signs, no wedgies, no stinky feet, no marveling at nature, no burping, and no stopping to smell the roses.

Part 2 of this story is also very funny, because when Melvin and Captain Underpants changed back to their normal selves, Melvin got the brain of Captain Underpants, and Captain Underpants got the brain of Melvin! The story finishes by Melvin being able to fly and Captain Underpants not being able to fly, even though he can still change into Captain Underpants. And so Melvin smacks Captain Underpants on the bottom with his sheet that he uses as a cape. Then, Harold and George blast Captain Underpants and Melvin with the Combine-O-Tron 2000, and they change back to themselves once again.
