The Worst Witch by Jill Murphy
This is the first in a series of stories about a young witch called Mildred Hubble who goes to a witches’ school and is always getting into trouble. It’s really funny and I would recommend it to anyone who gets into trouble by mistake a lot!!
I would recommend ‘Spy Dog’ to people who like dogs and spies! It is by Andrew Cope.
Knitbone Pepper Ghost Dog by Claire Barker
This book is about a girl whose pet dog (Knitbone) dies and becomes a ghost! Knitbone has some friends, they are called Martin, Gabriel, Valentine and Orlando. A character called Kevin (Krispin is his TV name!) is a ghost hunter and he is trying to catch Knitbone and his friends. This is an adventure story and I would recommend it to people who love their pets! There are some funny parts too…. Orlando is very funny!
The book is full of funny rhymes and they were very funny! Also there were rhymes about animals! I recommend that anyone who likes rhymes should read this book!
Ingo by Helen Dunmore
Ingo is about a girl who goes into the sea and meets a mer person called Faro. I enjoyed how strict Faro is with Sapphire about life under water. I recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure stories.
Diamond
Diamond is a great book. It’s the fourth in the Hetty Feather series. I really liked ALL the Hetty Feather books. The author is Jacqueline Wilson. It’s about a girl whose mum dies and she is sent to live in the circus. Only two people are kind to her- read the book to find out more!! I really enjoyed it because it is about adventurous girls and boys and some bits made me laugh.
I would recommend it to my whole class. It’s set in the Victorian times so it’s topic related too.
Invisible Stanley by Jeff Brown
Stanley became invisible during the night, but he looked like a balloon. The teachers at the school couldn’t see him and the people in the park couldn’t either!
I would recommend it to anyone who dreams of being invisible!
The Parent Agency by David Baddiel
This book is about a boy who has boring parents and gets cross with them one day. He goes up to his room and slams the door and suddenly his posters start to speak, so he tears them up and on the other side there is another world. There he finds TPA8 and TPA9 (The Parent Agency 8 and 9). They take him to a place where he can choose his parents…rich ones, fun ones and some very peculiar ones!
I would recommend this book to people that get really into books because it’s quite long. But it’s funny and I’m enjoying it a lot.
The book that I have read is called A Piece of Cake by Jill Murphy. It is about a family that go on a diet where they do not eat cakes , biscuits and crisps as they are trying to live a healthy lifestyle. I enjoyed the beginning of the book as it is very funny. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes funny books.
The book I recommend is Egyptian Adventures. It is about Ancient Egyptians. The book teaches you about pyramids and people.
I’ve been reading lots of the Captain Underpants books, about 10 in my super summertime. They are very good and crazy books and have really helped me get reading more. They have the best pictures and drawings, a bit like Tom Gates. In the stories, George and Harold are two naughty school boys who play lots of pranks. They buy a hypnotising ring and hypnotise their headmaster Mr Crupp and turn him into a monkey and then Captain Underpants! He is a bit of a stupid superhero who only wears pants and chases after weird baddies who don’t know what they’re doing. I would recommend these books to people who like jokes and comics.
I am also reading Five Children and It as our whole family book. This is about 5 brothers and sisters who find an old and grumpy sand fairy near their house and every day it grants them one wish and then they have strange and exciting adventures. I think this book is funny and exciting and a bit like Famous Five.
I get The Phoenix which is a weekly comic to share with my brother and sister. It is brilliant and full of stories like Bunny v Monkey and slug man and corpse talks. I definitely recommend it!
The Witches by Roald Dahl.
This book is about a boy, whose mother and father die and he has to live with his fantastic grandmother. The boy spies on the who,e community of English witches at their annual meeting. The witches discover the boy and turn him into a mouse! But then…the boy-mouse and his grandma try to defeat all the witches in the world. Read on to find out more!
I recommend this book to people who like scary stories and adventures.
The books are called Creepy Creatures by Ed Graves. It is about monsters attacking people and about two brothers who fight them. My favorite is Snake Shock, about a giant snake.
I read a book called Danny the champion of the world the author is Roald Dahl. The book is about a boy called Danny who lives in a caravan with his dad, his mother died when he was one month old. Danny loves his dad because when he was four his dad made him a go kart which made Danny feel very special.
He also enjoyed helping his dad in the garage, his dad always asked Danny to invite his friends over to play but he always said no, because he was used to being alone with his dad. He felt he had the best dad in the world. I liked reading this book, it was interesting and sad at times.
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days
This book is a journal about Greg Heffley and the funny and embarassing things that have happened to him in the summer.
I have enjoyed this book because his family and friends and
brother Rodrick have embarrassed him a lot. He always looks like the worst behaved in the family. I recommend this book to anyone with a big family!
I would recommend Tom Gates because it’s an easy book to read which it has so many pictures and details. And Tom Gates, on the other hand, a cheeky and a funny boy, and he wishes that school should start at 11 o’clock in the morning. Not at quarter to nine.
I Belle, wish the same thing because I can’t wake up early in the morning. It is by L. Pichon
Captain Underpants and the Sensational Saga of Sir Stinks- a -Lot , from Dav Pilker.
This book is such a great fun. George and Harold have their doubles. Wille they are at school they doubles have fun hiding in the tree house playing video games all day at some point they switch. But something mysterious is happening in the state of Ohio……
I really recommend this book because I really enjoy it but….. Make sure that you are ready for a great time!
In the summer I lost three of my teeth, so I decided to read ‘Tamara the Tooth Fairy’ by Daisy Meadows. It is all about mystery and magic in fairyland and the adventure of Tamara reclaiming her three stolen magical objects. I would recommend this book if you like adventure and excitement and if you enjoy it you can also read other Rainbow Magic books.
“Save the Day” The David Beckham Academy
This book is about a boy named Charlie. He is a goalkeeper who wants to play at the Academy named the David Beckham Academy. He has some special gloves that belonged to his Dad that give him confidence in goal. At the academy there was a big bully named Ben. He said Charlie was too short but Charlie said, “To prove I’m a good goalkeeper I will save all of your shots”. He did save them all; even the coaches shots.
But the next day his gloves were gone, and so was his confidence…
I enjoyed this book because it was related to football and was about a goalkeeper (and I’m a goalkeeper). It also had mystery and action and showed that you can be strong and confident if you try hard and follow David Beckham’s message, “Believe in yourself!”
I recommend this book to people who like football.
Don’t Go In The Cellar. It is about a boy and girl that see a story machine in the cellar. They accidentally pull the lever and a story comes up in the window, then it happens in their house. I recommend this book to people who like fairy tales and slapstick and horror and murder mystery.
I recommend Mr Majeika and the Lost Spell Book
Its about a wizard who does too many wrong spells. He forgets the spells and then he doesn’t realize he’s saying them. He gets fired, looses his spell book and isn’t a wizard anymore.
What I liked:
It was interesting because there is magic in it.
I found Hamish funny by being good, but he was too good.
Cosmo recommended it to me. I would recommend it to Diarmaid because I think he would like it.
I really enjoyed the Crayons are Quiet because it had loads and loads of letters and each one of those letters were really good . They were really extremely funny. I’ve read a book called The crayons Were Home. It was good as well.
The snake who came to stay by Julia Donaldson
This book is about a girl who loves animals and looks after her friends’ and neighbours’ pets when they go on vacation. But lots of things go wrong …
I liked it because it was about animals and it was funny.
Anyone would like it who loves animals and Julia Donaldson! And it was written for dyslexics, so it was perfect for me!
I am reading a book about Roald Dahl when he was a boy and believe it or not it is titled BOY CHILDHOOD STORIES and first of all it talks about his father and where he came from. Then it talks about his kindergarten school Elmtree House then it is about his primary school: Llandaff Cathedral Primary School for Boys and that is where I’ve got to in this book. This is a really good book and it is my 4th Roald Dahl book in a row!
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire:
The TRIWIZARD TOURNAMENT is to be held at Hogwarts.only wizards who over 17 are allowed to enter but for some reason harry ’s name comes out of the goblet of fire .He has no choice ,he has to be a triwizard champion !

DIARY OF A WIMPY KID by Jeff Kinney
This is a book about a boy called Greg who is 9 years old and he goes to middle school. His best friend is called Rowly .
My favourite bit was when Rowly dressed up as super-man for halloween. I found it funny because it looks like he was wearing under-pants.
The saddest moment was when Greg lost his best friend Rowly. He lost his friend because Rowly got a girl-friend!!! But do not worry because Rowly broke up with Abigail .
Also, there are lots of funny pictures.
I would recommend this book to people who like to laugh .

In this book, Greg and his friends go to a horrible summer camp and millions of funny, exciting and scary things happen to them.
