Title: Little Women

Author: Louisa May Alcott

Hook Question: Will this Christmas turn from bad to a good one?

Blurb: This is the classic story of four very different sisters.

Meg loves beautiful things. Beth is shy and thoughtful. Amy,  the youngest, can't wait to grow up. And tomboy Jo's sense of humour and high spirits often get her into trouble. The family doesn't have much money, but the sisters' lives are full of fun and dreams. Share the joys and sorrows of these four unforgettable girls as they learn how to be little women.

Text to Text-This is a bit like these books: Hetty Feather, Sapphire Battersea, and Emerald Star. These three books are about the same person that was an orphan. Orphan was a girl that grew up to be a servant to get more money. So the girl was a bit like Jo and Meg working for money for the family.

Text to Self-Jo and Meg work for money for their family, while sometimes when I go out, I sometimes see beggars on the street begging for money.

Text to World-There are a lot of people in the world that are working for money either for themselves or for they're family. Some people be maids and cook and clean for other families, while some parents go to work and the company will give them money.

I recommend this book for year 4's, because it has a bit of parts that year3's won't understand.

                       

Title: Dinosaur Pox

Author: Jeremy Strong

                    Hook Question: Will Jodie turn back from being a dinosaur to human?

                    Blurb: "Dinosaur pox," declares the famous specialist, Mr Pinkerton-Snark. Suddenly                           Jodie is whisked into hospital and wired up to all sorts of weird-looking machines.                               Jodie's brother, Mark, rescues her, but where can a dinosaur hide in the middle of a town                      - particularly when she leaves a trail of disaster behind her? Soon the whole police fore                        is after her ...

                     Text to Text: There are hard words in this book, which lots of people won't understand.

                     Text to Self: I don't like my hair, same as Jodie when she was human.

                     Text to World: Every Jeremy Strong book has some funny parts.

                     I think that this book tells us that we are ourselves and not everybody is perfect, though                        it is fun for reading.

                     I recommend this book for year 3 and above, because it is an easy book and quite funny                       funny for young readers.

              

                     

Title : Double Dork Diaries 2

Author : Rachel Renee Russell

          Hook Question : Will Nikki win the talent show in her school, and will she donate enough                    money, by ice-skating, for Fuzzy Friends?

     

          Blurb : Nikki Maxwell really is Queen of the Dorks, from talent show disasters to BFF dramas,                     super-crush dilemmas to ice-skating fiasco's. No matter how hard she tries, Nikki's life                          never runs quite as smoothly as she'd like! 

          Text to Text: Nikki does a lot of screaming in all her diaries.

          Text to Self: When I was doing ballet show when I was young, I was also scared.

          Text to World: People in different places has to have at least one time to be on stage.

          I think Rachel Renee Russell is trying to tell you that everybody is not perfect.

          I recommend this book for years 4 and above, because at one of Nikki's diary, there is a                       passage about her kissing Brandon in a dance, and younger ones can't cope with it. This book              is also easy to read, so it is good for year 4's.

                                                                                 

         

      Title: The School for Good and Evil

Author: Soman Chainani

Hook question : Who will win the war, and what is the ending to Sophie and Agatha's fairy tale?

Blur : Everything old is new again as Sophie and Agatha fight the past as well as the present to find the perfect end to their fairy tale. 

  Once best friends, now enemies, Sophie and Agatha thought their end was sealed when they went their separate ways. Agatha was whisked back to Gavaldon with Tedros, and Sophie stayed behind with the beautiful young School Master.

   But as they settle into their new lives, their story begs to be rewritten, and theirs isn't the only one. Evil has taken over, and the villains of the past have come back with vengeance. Not only do they want a second chance at their fairy tales, but they mean to transform the old world of Good and Evil into a new dark realm with Sophie as its Queen. Only Agatha and Tedros stand in the of Evil's deadly reign -- and the Last Ever After of all.

Text to Text : Sophie, Agatha, and Tedros are in all of the three books of The School For Good And Evil.

Text to Self : I loved my mother, and she liked me back just like Agatha and Tedros.

Text to World : The School For Good And Evil is about magic, and princess', princes, and villains.

I recommend this book for others, because I think they will find it interesting, and they will it comfortable to read.

The age group would be around 9 year-old up, because it is a bit romantic and a few people won't be able to bear it.

This story good  but its kind of  boring.

I think this book is suitable for year 3 because in y3, most of them like space and adventures.

And my friends and family were getting their tails in a twist because I didn't have time to celebrate . Cheese niblets! If only I had my own team of reindeer and could fly far, far away to Santa's toy factory.... 

Text to text/self/world: Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus are both fat , I never saw a mouse Santa Claus  before and the reindeers are cute like the ones in real life .

The book is kind of funny but some parts are boring .

I recon that this book suits 8 over because I think when people are eight , they start to like and read it.
