Emma- No Mans Land

This book is called Oranges in no man’s land. We are currently reading this book in year 5. So I will not be giving too much information because I don’t want to spoil it for the children who haven’t read it yet. It is a great book about a civil war in Lebanon By Elizabeth Laird.

Zombie Cows From Outer Space
By- Luke Temple
The Book loving Zombie, The Maths Loving Zombie and the science Loving Zombie. These are Poems by Luke Temple, an author who visited out school in 2024. I was in yr4 when I got this book and its is sooo AMAZING. It is really funny and contains the most weird and funny words like ‘lollylagging’. But I had to write about these 3 poems because they are just my favourite part of the book. I recommend this book to readers above the age of 7.

Author-Jeff Kinney
This book was a book that my brother bought from a charity shop. I haven’t read any Diary of a Wimpy Kid books yet so I decided to give it a try. When I saw the front cover I wasn’t too keen on it but as I read the first few pages I bursted into laughter. It was really funny. The book is set out in a diary style as it says in the title, and I really like those kind of diary books. I am going to go to my local library and challenge myself to read another Wimpy Kid book(if I find some time). Overall, I like this book and would recommend it to adults and children.

Emma – Nothing to see hotel

The Nothing To see Here Hotel
Author-Steven Butler
Illustrator-Steven Lenton
Recently, in the half term holidays I have been reading this brilliant book called The Nothing To See Here Hotel- it also comes in a series. If you are into Steven Butler books, fantasy, trolls, fairies and all of that stuff this book is for you. This book was recommended by Mr Lo, and really is AMAZING! The main characters are Frankie a half-blood (a boy that is half troll and half human), his grandmother (Regurgita) and Nancy the cook, and did I mention she’s a spider, a HUGE one?! The book talks about a hotel that looks well just like an original hotel to humans but in reality it’s HUGE. This is where a little bit of troll magic comes in. A group of troll gathered around and casted a spell on the hotel so the muggle part was all hidden away!

Emma Paws and Whiskers

I am writing a book review on the book Paws and Whiskers.It’s a great book by Jacquelin Wilson. It has got a variety of pet stories by other authors including one of her own. My favourite one was the story Leonie. It is about a girl who moved house because of her parents divorce. She never gets to see her friends anymore. She started at a new school and joined a pet girl club (a club with girls that have pets). She pretended that she had a pet called Lulu (an imaginary pet. Name of pet comes from one of Leonie’s favourite authors pet). Her secret gets discovered by this nasty girl Keira who is also in the pet girls club…

The promise book review by Corban and Yusuf
The author is Nicola Davies and the illustrator are Laura Carlin. The genre of this book is a fiction adventure.
On a mean street, a horrible thief tries to steal an old ladies bag, but she had to keep a promise, which was to plant whatever was in the bag. When the thief opens the bag, there were perfect green acorns inside.
I thought the thief was spiteful, mean and naughty and I feel this because at the start of the book she liked stealing and mugged an old woman and ran off with her bag.
I think this book can be recommended to young readers because it has lots of pictures, and because there aren’t a lot of words on each page. I also think this book can be recommended to adults too, because there is a good moral to the story and excellent vocabulary.
I rate this book **** stars because it has a lot of adjective words and I didn’t give it a five star because  we thought the pictures were quite dull.
