This book is about a girl named Floss who loves spending weekends with her Dad in his greasy spoon cafĂ©, even if it isn’t the smartest place in town. When Floss’s Mum and her new husband Steve moved to Australia, Floss decided to stay at home with her Dad. But Floss’s Dad isn’t any good at ironing or putting up swings, but instead Floss and her Dad diet on chip butties and candyfloss from the local funfair. Then the disaster strikes and they find themselves homeless. Floss’s Dad was thinking if any of their fairground friends will help them live. And Floss was thinking if her Dad could survive with a life of living on the road…
My Opinion:
I think this book has a lot of sad bits like when Floss’s Mum and Dad had an argument about if Floss should stay or live in Auzzie with her Mum.
I recommend this book to anyone aged over 9 or 10 years old. I really enjoyed it!
It’s an AWESOME book!

Rhiannon on Tales From The Swamp by Kingi Mckinnon
The story ‘Mud, Slush And Tuna’ made me laugh especially when Roha had to catch the slippery and slimy eels.
The story ‘The Witch’ made me laugh because in the story they described what the witch looked like and it made me become frightened of her.
I think the book is suitable for 8-10 year olds because it can get a bit easier to read when you are 10 or over.
I think the book is really awesome because it interested me a lot. Kingi Mckinnon is a really great author and I look forward to reading some of her books in the future.

Hayden on The Gizmo Series by Paul Jennings
I like the Gizmo Series because they are unpredictable and you never know what will happen when you turn the page.

ABBIE on Charlotte’s Web by E. B. White.
This is a story about a girl called Fern who lives on a farm with her mum, dad and brother. One morning at breakfast Fern stares after her father and asks her mum “where’s papa going with that axe?” “To the hog house because a few pigs were born last night”, “but why does he need an axe?” asked Fern for she was only eight. “One of the pigs that were born last night is a runt that means that it is small, weak and useless and it won’t last for a day. So your father has decided to away with it,” “away with it? You mean kill it?” her mum nodded, “but you can’t” Fern pleaded and before anyone could say anything she was off. They can’t do that Fern thought. She arrived at the hog house panting and yelled “NO” her father looked up and Fern saw the pig, the pig that started the whole thing.
In the pig pen Wilbur finds a spider friend called Charlotte, and meets a sneaky rat called Templeton who steals everything from rotten eggs to a thin thread of string. Everyone thinks that Wilbur is just an ordinary pig but his best friend Charlotte makes Wilbur the most famous pig ever by spinning webs saying “SOME PIG” then the next “TERIFFIC” the last “RADIANT” everyone came to look at the pig from the other side of the farm people could hear the “OOOOOHHHH’s” and “AAAAHHHHH’s” everyone thought Wilbur was a star and he was. Then Wilbur’s owners decide to bring Wilbur to a pig fair where all of the pigs that are talented in some way go to and that is where the judges see which pig is the best.
I found the book very easy to read because there were no difficult words or complicated sentences. I actually cried when charlotte the spider died at the fair all by herself. And laughed at some bits like when Avery tripped and fell on the rotten egg, I wouldn’t like to smell that!! The most joyful moment in that book would be when charlottes egg sack hatches and all the spiders parachute into the sky. The illustrations are gorgeus and the book it self is really neat. Overall I think that this book is very touching and beautiful. I recommend that everyone should read it from the beginning to the end.

Courtney on "Clarice Bean Don’t Look Now" by Lauren Child
I have just finished a book called” Clarice Bean Don’t Look Now” by Lauren Child.
This book is based In England, because Lauren Child is from England. Clarice Bean has a best friend called Betty Moody.
Clarice and Betty are in the same class, and their teacher is called Mrs. Wilberton. Clarice Bean has an older sister called Marcie, an older brother called Kurt and a younger brother called Minal.
In the middle of the book Betty Moody leaves England to go to America to live, when Betty leaves the school a new girl comes to Clarice’s school; she is called Clem Hansson and she is from a place called Stockholm in Sweden.
Clem invites Clarice to her birthday party. Clarice doesn’t go because she thinks Clem is friends with Justin Broach, the bully, but in the end Clarice knows that Clem isn’t friends with Justin because he stole Clem’s Swedish rabbit at the pet show.
After school, Justin and one of Clarice’s friends called Karl Wenberry fight and Karl gets badly hurt, he breaks his arm. At the end, Clarice and Clem are good friends.
Opinion:
Once you read 1-3 chapters of the book you’ll really want to know what’s going to happen next. It’s an addictive book.
Who would enjoy the book?
I think most likely girls would like the book, but some boys might like it too. In some parts, it’s a bit girly but otherwise it’s really awesome. The age would be between any age, but mainly about from 7 onwards.

Report by Breana on ‘Trapped’ by Arthur Roth.
"Trapped"
John was driving to his fathers house to return his fishing rod that he borrowed for fishing the past day.
While he was driving he noticed that it was getting quite late. It was getting darker every meter of the way.
Then suddenly he saw heaps of flashy things, as he got closer he realised that it was deer standing on the road. He suddenly slammed his foot on the brakes and went sliding down into the bank. He crashed into trees along the way and then a really strong tree stopped him.
Then he couldn’t see a thing and fell asleep. In the morning he felt very hungry and tired. He felt his arm hurt as he tried to look in the back to see if there was some food. He looked at his arm. “WHOA!” he shouted.
He had a huge cut on his arm.
He tried to free himself from the horrid and broken chair but for a start the roof of his car was too low.
Secondly his foot was trapped and twisted under the compartment. He just couldn’t get it out!
Comment.
This is a brilliant book with lots of sudden movements in it. Its a great story for people who like action books.
If you want to find out if he survives then read the book ‘Trapped’ and find out what happens.

Sullivan’s blog entry on Hit It! by Michael Hardcastle
This book is about two boys, Scott and Kel, who are rivals in the same team on the soccer field. It all began when Kel stole the ball off Scott just when he was about to kick for goal, scoring the winning goal for himself. Both boys wanted to be the team’s top scorer. Even though Kel treated Scott badly, Scott still helped Kel with his sick dog. In the end the boys learnt that if they worked together their team could win the league.
In my opinion this book was about competing against each other and learning that working together towards the same team goal gets better results.
“We are going to win and that’s what counts”.
I enjoyed the book because it was about football and I love football stories.
I think anyone who loves sport stories will enjoy this book.

Tia is second in with her homework...
Hi Mrs J this is my book review hope you like it.
I have just finished a book called 'Why I hate school by Micheal Fartasky'
This book is by Kris Stanhope
It is dedicated to Kris Stanhope's wife who believed in him when he did not.
The story:
Micheal Fartasky hates school.
He hates writing, he hates maths, and he
hates reading, he hates art.
He hates break because it is too short
and he hates lunchtime because it is to crowded
in the playground.
In fact there are 243 reasons (and counting) why Michael
Fartasky hates school. But it takes only one person
to tell him what is good about it.
And in the process he discovers why he started to
hate school in the first place.
My opinion:
I think this book has lots of different feelings in it.
Like sometimes characters feel sad because of
a boy in the neighborhood just died.
I think my teacher Mrs Johnson would like
this book because it is a funny, sad, happy
and confusing book.
The photo is me holding another book called "The Blue Boa" - I will do a review on that later.
Jacob is first in with his homework...

There are 4 other main characters to the story which are Herod Sharkley, Red Sharkley, May Devreux and April Devereux. This book is about the biggest case of his life, May and April had lost a curl of hair! Fletcher suspects Herod because he usually has lost things in his pocket. Or he hid it.
When Fletcher has almost cracked the case he gets hit by a bat. He gets rushed to hospital! On his arm was an indentation spelling RED backwards he thought Red had done it but he didn’t. He pairs up with Red to find out who did it! They spy on May and Aprils gang called Les Jeunes Estudiants. Which is about education and framing boys!! They find out they’re going to frame Herod for hurting someone called Masadeez. They don’t get there in time and find out a Connection between all the events the talent show. Finally he found out that Mays father did something to everyone who came in front of May in the previous talent show. After all the revealing of the bad deeds Fletcher whacks the trophy in to Mr Devereux’s (Mays dad) temple!
I really enjoyed Half Moon Investigations because of its good description and action.
I would recommend this book to all action lovers and Mystery lovers because it has lots of other bits I haven’t told you which is very exciting such as the mansion escape. This book is available in the library.

Fin is currently reading a very funny book - watch this space:
Fin types about his opinion on the book, “The Dumpster Saga” so far:
I have only read ten chapters and it is really funny. It is about a typical 15 year old trying to get money to impress a girl but instead he gets mixed up with a yellow helmet with a strange name, an agent and dwarfs eating bananas. This book is a crack up and I recommend it for anyone who enjoys a story that will give them a laugh about aged 9 to 13 years old.

It is about a typical 15 year old trying to get money to impress a girl but instead he gets mixed up with a yellow helmet with a strange name, an agent and dwarfs eating bananas. This book is a crack up and I recommend it for anyone who enjoys a story that will give them a laugh about aged 9 to 13 years old.

Jordan read the book, :The Falcon’s Malteser” by Anthony Horowitz.
I wrote a letter to a main character in the book.
Dear Herbert,
I would really like to meet you in real life.
You are a great detective and good at solving mysteries.
The book 'The Falcons Malteasers' it is a great book and I would like another book like a new mystery book. "Public Enemy Number Two" looks really good too.
I like the part when you go to Hotel Splendie in Fullam when you find Jonny Naples in his room dying of blood and when you go to the falcon's funeral.
After that when you go walking into Hotel Splendie and start to search Mr Jonny Naples's room and start searching his room in the rubbish bin, under the bed and when the grenade gets thrown at you.
I would like to meet you and talk to you about the book 'The Falcons Malteasers'
Yours sincerely,
Jordan
