The Hunger Games: Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

This is a brilliant sequel. It's got more action, more drama and more romance. Katniss might have got out of the arena but the capital hasn't forgotten her little stunt. A brilliant book fit for a king! It's got more twists that a roller coaster and is a fun ten out of ten. Tom R (13)

Are these my Basoomas I see before me? By Louise Rennison

 

The tenth book of the Georgia Nicholson series and as funny as ever. I really enjoyed this book because I thought that Georgia could be really funny at times and she gets annoyed at her bezzie because Jas wants to talk about badgers and sticks while Georgia wants to talk about her life.

Malice is about a boy called Seth and his friend Kady. There is rumours Call on Tall Jake and he’ll take you to Malice a world that exists in a horrifying comic book. Seth and Kady think it’s just a silly myth. But when there friend disappears the rumours don’t seem so silly.

Secrets by Jacqueline Wilson

Secrets is one of my all time favourites. This book is aimed at mature children as it contains some upsetting subjects.
Its about two girls who really should never be friends or even have met as they have very different backgrounds, and ways of life but they do have one thing in common they both share their secrets with their diary. They end up helping each other
overcome their very different problems, and solve them with the inspiration from knowing and idolizing Ann Frank and all that she went through.
