The 52-Storey Treehouse

By Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton

This book is about Andy and his friend Terry who save Mr Big Nose, but then they get stuck themselves and so a girl has to save them. My favourite part of the story is when Terry sees the donkey and has to walk for ages.

Spoiler alert: the girl is the vegetable killer. Shhh!

The Night of the Living Dummy

By RL Stine

This is a well-written book that will surely send a shiver down your spine. When I read this book, I really enjoyed it, as well as having some daunting thoughts about the doll, Slappy. The Night of the Living Dummy is based on two twin teenage girls Kris and Lindsey Powell. Lindsey finds an evil doll “Slappy” who haunts Kris constantly. I am warning you now because YOU’RE IN FOR A FRIGHT KIDS! Enjoy reading this awesome book.

Rating: ***** 5/5 Amazing

Genre: Horror

Age: 7+

Recommendation: I strongly recommend this book for children who have a liking for horror books. (No worries, this book is fine for children over 7 – it is not the scariest book to read.

Diary Of A Wimpy Kid In The Deep End

By Jeff Kinney

I like this book because all of the family have different opinions (e.g Dad wants to visit Civil War battlefields and take part in a re-enactment. Manny wanted to go to the Animal Safari. Mum said they should go in their own community. and Rodrick and Greg thought they should go to thrills and spills waterpark). It has a lot of funny pictures and they have brilliant adventures! I rate this book 4.5 out of 5.

Rating 4.5/5

Genre: Humour

Age: 5+

Recommendation: I would recommend this book to people who like adventures and have a good sense of humour (this book is suitable for children 5+). You should buy this book!

I am three quarters of the way through this book at the moment. It’s a mystery, and quite spooky really. Something is scratching around in the attic above Alison’s room. Yet the only thing up there is a stack of grimy old plates. Alison and her stepbrother, Roger, discover that the flowery patterns on the plates, when traced onto paper, can be fitted together to create owls-owls that disappear when no one is watching. With each vanished owl, strange events begin to happen.

It’s a gripping and creepy plot and I’m really enjoying it.

I have just started reading this after it was recommended to me by several people.  It starts with a shipwreck and a baby girl saved from the sea, found floating in a cello case.   Little Sophie is looked after by her eccentric guardian Charles and seems determined to find her mother, who she believes is still alive.

I’m already hooked – will review it when I’ve finished reading it!
