Written By David Warner
David Warner has organised a test cricket match against their rivals shimmer bay and their captain Josh Jarret. They ran into some unexpected problems starting with space with some unwanted friends.
This book is a great quick read and is really funny and sporty. I enjoyed reading it but I think it could be a bit longer.
It was a very good in comedy and it also inspires little kids to be like David Warner. Its genre is Sport because it is about a lot of sport that is played and the author is a world class cricketer.
The main characters are Davey warner Sunil (best friend), Mr Mudge (worst teacher) and Davey’s dog (the cheekiest one). Sunil and Davey remind me of some old friends that were obsessed with cricket. Mr Mudge reminds me of my old teacher in London.
I really like how the author doesn’t drag parts out so he was literally saying stuff over and over. I don’t like how the book is so short. It would have been nice to read longer of the book and maybe add a few problems.
Review by Nathan
The tales of Beedle the bard is a series of books about wizards and magic, sort of like Harry Potter. The recent section I am reading is called, the wizard and the hopping pot. It is about a wizard called Professor Dumbledore who helps the villagers if they ever got sick or something happened to them. He uses a magical pot to make potions for the medicine. But Dumbledore dies and his son takes over from his father’s job. Although Dumbledore’s son is nothing like him. His son is rude and selfish.
The strengths in this book are that they have different parts to it, so it’s not only one part of the book that tells different parts of the story. The weaknesses of this book are that it has the same characters in different parts of the story when they can be in the same part of one story.
My response in this book is that it is really good and anyone who likes Harry Potter will like this book.
This books genre is like a mystery because the book has a lot of it.
There is not really any action in this book because again it is a mystery.
I think that the characters are believable because the way the author (JK Rowling) describes them is very realistic.
I think the way the author writes the words is fine because it can help me understand the words better.
Some of the things in the book that made me want more were, the part when Dumbledore died and also when Dumbledore’s son betrayed everyone and especially his father.
I really like this book because it is my type and that I like mystery, fantasy and magical books.
Review by Ishani
This book is a Sci-Fi, Fantasy and medieval mix with a lot of comedy, which appeals to most boys.
Martin: A male aged in his 20s who lives alone in a small apartment. He is a semi decent self-proclaimed hacker who has a fondness of looking into the coding of old websites. He works in a cubical job with a close to minimum wage job which he hates.
In this book (1 of 3) a young man named Martin,-a sophisticated hacker- finds an unusually large file in the coding of an old phone company.
This area of the book is very intriguing for me due to my fascination of computers and hacking. He is very reminiscent of me in the way he acts and anyone interested in computers will find this story fascinating and funny.
The hero of our story Martin proceeds to download this file. Upon opening the file he sees a lot of code and decides to search for his name. He is surprised when his name appears and shows a lot of info on him. Though he believes something is wrong. His height. He then changes it to what he believes is right.
This part begins to show how one small change can mean something big.
He decides to wrap up the computer usage for the night and goes to the bathroom noticing something weird his mirror seems a little off, a bit lower down than usual.
During this scene the readers are beginning to understand what powers that file has.

By Veronica Roth
Divergent is about a young girl who is having to make a big choice about her life. Her society is divided into factions and is having to keep a huge secret about her faction results.
The books strengths and weaknesses are that the story-line is good but the front cover could have described the book a lot more.
I think the book fits into the genre because it’s very futuristic and very modern. The character is very strong and independent and I like how the author described her in the book.

This book is the second in the sires so before you read this please read a review or the book divergent because there WILL be spoilers. A girl called Tries she has to survive an attack on her former home, Betrayed by her faction she runs to survive. And after killing one of her best friends she still has the guilt of so many. Will she continue or give up?
This book is really good there is a lot of action and every page has a bit of action or a secret is uncovered it is a very fast paced book, It could have a little less lovey dove stuff because sometimes it’s just gross. But there is more good things then bad things like the way the book makes you think Tries is safe when she really isn’t and there are some great twists.
I love this book it is a really good book because I love quite fast paced books with action and twists. But the suspense sometimes kills me, it is just an awesome book with heaps of twists.
This book is defiantly an action book with mystery and a bit of romance❤ because it has a lot of running from danger and at every page they are running from something or escaping.
There is action around every bend but most of it for me is when they are escaping the Extrude compound but my favourite part is probably when Tries is about to get executed because it is just a really tense part that you can’t stop reading.
The characters are believable because she is struggling there is 2 sides to her like there is to everyone and sometimes she just wants to give up everyone gives up but then they try again, They are described perfectly and little secrets about them are reviled throughout the series. I don’t think I know anyone like them which is really special because it’s like no one knows them but me like they are a mythical person only I can see.
I like the way the author is not a narrator, but the book is in Tris’ eyes which makes it more personal and real then if it was a narrator telling the story.
For examples it wouldn’t have been as real when Peter a dauntless “traitor” saved her from dying, it was really moving and it was moving because the people reading only knew what Tris new. And that kind of keeps you reading the book to find out everything.
I LOVED the book it was fantastic and really had an energy when you read it, when I read it I felt like if Tris died I would start crying in fact when Beatrice’s mum died I started to cry because you really get attached to all the characters.
Review by Bianca
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K Rowling. The book is about a boy who got cursed by a dark wizard at a very young age along with his parent’s dyeing. When he was 11 years of age he got accepted into Hogwarts of witch craft and wizardry. While he was there he made two friends Ron and Herminy and one enemy Draco Malfoy.
I really liked this book because the author always were able to keep you up with the storyline. It was very descriptive with the characters physical appearance there emotional feelings and their strengths and weaknesses mentally and physically.
In my opinion that you should get this book if like mystery and action. This book fits into a mystery and action the action is when Harry vs Voldemort and the mystery is when they find out who is trying to steal the stone. The action doesn’t happen so much at the start but towards the end when Harry and Voldemort battled.
The book in my opinion doesn’t make you feel in the moment because it uses third person. Most of the characters are very believable except for Dumbledore because he rarely makes mistakes and because his power in magic. Everyone in the likes him as a headmaster.
I really like the author’s writing style because it all flows. Something that had moved me is when it says how Harrys parents died and how he was left alone. I really liked the book and I suggest you should get it too.

Novel by Ransom Riggs
Jacob, a suburb kid, loses someone very dear to his heart. He then travels to a small island of the coast of wales. When he gets to the island he then meets a lady that changes his life, Miss Peregrines and her home for peculiar children.
The strengths of this book are the mystery and fantasy. Some weaknesses of the book are how depressing it is.
My personal response to this story is it is very good story FOR TEENAGERS, it is not for little kids as it can get scary.
The book fits into the genre very well. it is very fantastical and mystical
The action in this book is not until the 7th chapter in the pub when he finally meets miss peregrine and her home for peculiar children.
The author does an amazing job of making you feel like you are in the story by describing the book in great detail
The main characters are so believable. The author describes them in such detail it is amazing.
I love the way the author describes the whole book it is amazing.
The part that made me move was when his grandfather passed away and they were describing how much he loved him as I never met my grandfather and miss him dearly. When his aunty pulled out his grandfather’s old journal and how he described how sad Jacob was.
I loved this book so much it has so much soul to it and I have an emotional connection with this book.
