I liked this book because its very interesting and it tells a story of a girl wanting to change/live her life.

i think this book is suitable for children ages 10+ because its very interesting.

Kiss By Jacqueline Wilson

This book is called Kiss by Jacqueline Wilson. I found this book very interesting. This is a little bit about what happens in the book. Sylvie and Carl have been friends since they were tiny children. She never thought they would change the way it did. Sylvie and Carl always played together, eaten with each other's families, called each other boyfriend and girlfriend and deep down, Sylvie has always believed that they'd end up married to each other. They even have a magical fantasy world that only they belong too.But as they become teenagers, things are starting to change. They each have different friends. Sylvie would still rather spend all her time with Carl. But Carl has a new friend, Paul, who is taking all his attention. Sylvie can tell his feelings have changed and that her plans for the future may be affected. But can she guess at the true reasons behind it all?

I would recommend this book to ages 12+ as it is very interesting. However it wouldn't be suitable for children under 12

Fortune Cookie By Jean Ure

Fudge Cassidy and the Cupcake kid are best friends. They’re names were actually chalk and cheese – Fudge is loud mouthed and Cupcake is quiet but even though they’re not the same, they’re still friends. They've just started at secondary school and Cupcake has rather a lot on her plate. Her brother Joey has some problems and they are becoming more obvious. Add to this that her father couldn't cope with the problems and he now has another family. It's just Cupcake, Joey and her mother - and not a lot of money.

Joey has a puppy that originally belonged to Fudge's neighbour. Fudge and Cupcake take the dog to the vet because Cookie starts to limp and it's not long before the vet tells Cupcake's mum that he needs an operation and that it will cost £300. The girls set out to raise the money so that Joey and Cookie aren’t separated.

I loved this story. Jean Ure has pulls you into the story and refusing to let go until you've turned the last page. They're people doing their best to have a reasonable life and make ends meet. Money is tight and some families have a lot to cope with – such as sick children and being a single parent. Sometimes a parent has remarried and doesn't see very much of their child. The young people are neither all good or all bed. They're that mixture that's in all of us. Fudge and Cupcake did their best to raise the money as honestly as they could, but when they had the chance to get all the money in a way that wasn't quite honest. They found the temptation just a little too much particularly as it would benefit Joey so much.

I’d recommend this book for people who are 10 and over because it seems the right age for children to read.

The BFG By Roald Dahl, Book Review

The bfg is one of the funniest books i have ever read. In it, there is a girl called Sophie who wakes up during the 'witching hour'. In the distance, she sees a tall dark figure. As it comes closer, she sees something she thought didnt exist. A Giant, But Sophie not only sees him, he sees her.

This book is interesting because its about a giant who lives in a massive country and lives his dreams with little Sophie. Shes under the covers in her bed but is still carried away with the giant to be sizzled like a rasher of bacon, or so she thought. But when she gets there, she discovers hes just a big friendly giant who blows dreams by sleeping in other childrens rooms. There is also 9 other giants.

One night when Sophie cant sleep, she goes through the window of her orphanage and sees a giant walking down the street, blowing something through the windows. But what was it?
When the giant sees her, he grabs her and takes her to his desert cave home.

I would rate this book a 9/10 because it is really interesting and Roald Dahl has used alot of descriptive speech in his book.

Love Aubrey Book Review

Love Aubrey is a touching book. Aubrey will make you cry, she will make you smile and she will stay with you forever. I haven’t finished the book but it makes me feel fascinated and draws me in. The book makes me feel sad because she has a lot of drama going on in her life, and because I know that the chapter is over but then happy because there is another chapter.

In the book, Aubrey is a lonely child who needs some more company in her life. I think Aubrey’s grandmothers is very nice as she came all the way from Vermont to Virginia and she doesn’t like to travel very much and because she came to look after Aubrey. Aubrey had bought a little tiny fish who she called Sammy to keep her company when she was lonely.

 I think that the author, Suzanne LaFleur, could have changed the setting from Virginia to a more common place. The author could have also described the setting in more detail and used more techniques, such as a simile or metaphor. I think that this is a dramatic book as she was lonely and she had no one else apart from her fish. This book could also be an adventure book because she goes on a lot of adventures.

 I would not recommend this book for people who are dramatic. When I stop reading, it leaves me in suspense (a cliff-hanger) Aubrey is a lonely girl as she has been abandoned.

 Does she get help?

Does any of her family ever show up?

What will happen to Aubrey?

 I would give this book a rating of 4/5 because it is very interesting. I love the suspense however, I think that there could have been a little bit more description. I recommend this book to the ages of 12-16
