Scorpia

Although this isn't the first book of the series, I'll still review it!

Alex Rider wants to find out about his past, especially after he was told to find Scorpia. He ends up finding them in Venice and abandons his school trip party. As a result, Scorpia weaves a web of lies and manages to get Alex into Scorpia when he knows the truth about his dad. Alex was supposed to be working for M16 but embarks on a mission to kill the Deputy head of M16 (Mrs Jones) who apparently, was the one that gave the order to kill his dad. After being caught, Alex joins M16 again after finding out the real truth(not Scorpia's twisted version) and helps them to foil Scorpia's master plan. What is the plan? Read and you'll find out...

I agree Sean!

Sean makes a good point- I think it's no coincidence that the person who reads the most (Sean) gets the best marks in English.

Who's read The Machine Gunners or Z for Zachariah- wold love to have a discussionabout either of those two- wonderful books for young lads especially.

Wenny has wings

I'm reading this story so I don't know the end. It's a story about Wenny's sister writing a letter or diary to Wenny. They were walking in the road and got an accident. Wenny and her sister died so they were flying up the sky through dark tunnels where the light was showing at the end. But because of that stupid doctor pressing electricity thingy on Wenny's sister's heart, She had to live. She said that it was totally unfair that Wenny has got to live in that lovely heaven and she has got to live in that stinky world with pain in her body. Everyday she writes a letter to wenny.

I like this story very much, and Mr Pollicutt, it's creepy!!

I think most of you would know this story.

Shoemaker of Dreams

Anyone know Salvatore Ferragamo?? He's a shoe maker but became famous for years until now! This book and emotional and great! It is a biograhpy of him how he actually became a famous I think it was a fashion designer...

Well, you should really read it. though I am not sure where to get it. My dad came home with it...one day. I quite cried when I read about his childhood. His older brother died in the middle of a festivle or something. I can't remember it was 3 years ago! His father doesn't want him to be a shoemaker but he did everything he could to design and actually make the first good looking shoe in his home town...

I love the shoes they look so cool!!!!!!!!! Haha!! I am back with blogging! :D

Where's everybody??????

Where is everybody?Why am I the only one posting reviews? Come on lottie, (and others) you've gone quiet! Let's all pitch in and start reviewing instead of just posting comments!

The Book of lost things

This story is set in world war two, where the main character (David) stumbles into a world of mysterious creatures. David unexpectedly brings his fears into the world and creates monstrosities without knowing it. As the plot thickens, the crooked man appears. He seems kind, but is actually plotting David's doom. This story is so full of suspense, I couldn't put it down! It's a bit disgusting though.

Mostly Harmless

Just when Arthur Dent makes the terrible mistake of enjoying life, all hell breaks loose. The guide reports that it has a lot to say on parallel universes. This info, however, is not much understandable to anyone under the level of advanced god, and since all known gods were made within 0.333 milliseconds of the creation of the universe ( Not last week, like they always say) they are therefore not available for comment right now...
Arthur finds himself in a parallel universe where the Earth has been replaced with a planet called Nowwhat, and immediately escapes it by unkown means. If you want to know the conclusion to Douglas Adam's Hitchiker trilogy read this book now!!

So Long, and thanks for the fish.

It has been widely known that the Humans were the most intelligent creatures on Earth. Right? Wrong. The humans were the third most intelligent creatures on earth. The dolphins came in second, and the mice were the most intelligent creatures on Earth. Read the book to find out why. When Arthur Dent finds himself back on Earth with no signs of demolition, he immediately believes that the past experiances of Krikkit, Pan Glactic Gargle Blasters and the Heart of Gold were all figments of his stressed out imagination. But a talking fish and other oddities thrusts him back to reality.

Life, the universe, and everything

The inhabitants of Krikkit are sick of looking at the night sky, so they plan to destroy the universe so that there won't be a sky to look at.(The guide says:'the night sky above Krikkit is the most boring thing in the universe, because it is pitch black.') Now, the only thing that can stop Armageddon is Arthur Dent and his crew, whom are scattered across the galaxy. Arthur is stuck with Ford Prefect on a prehistoric Earth that a Magrathean called Slartibartfast made. Meanwhile, Zaphod Beeblebrox, as well as Tricia Mcmillian (a fellow earthling who skipped the planet a month earlier)are on Krikkit already trying to avert the disaster. For more pure Douglas Adams humor, you'll just have to read it yourself!

The restaurant at the end of the universe

After escaping certain doom, Arthur Dent is being hunted down by the very people- sorry, Aliens who destroyed Earth. After the whole Magrathea issue died down, Arthur decided to eat at the Restaurant At The End Of The Universe. It's basically a restaurant that's stuck in a time loop, and attracts people daily because, well, everybody wants to know what happens at the end of the universe, don't they? The problem was: how do you get there with bloodthirsty warmongers chasing your tail? And has Arthur finally gone mad when he decides to drink tea when their ship is being bombarded? Read this book! The have it in the library.

Jane Blonde

This is a amazing book, girls maybe more interested but if you like adventure and mysteries this book has it all. It's about a girl who's name is actually Janey Brown and one day, out of the blue this lady (who says she's Janey's godmother) came to her school and told her that she was a spy in training but as she called it spylet. Janey obviously thinks that women is crazy and doesn't believe her. The women (also called as G-Mama) told Janey that her mum was captured by the 'Sinerlesse Group' (they are the villains in this story) and Janey needs to rescue her. I won't spoil it for everyone. Read it!

There is a whole series of it and I have the first book if anyone is interested. Tell me at school.

Kensuke's Kingdom

When Michael's parents lose their jobs, they buy a boat and decide to sail around the world with their son, Michael and thier dog, Stella.But then in an accident, Michael is washed up on an island in the Pacific where he discovers there is no food or water . But then he finds out that someone's feeding him-giving water and food. It was an old man..Kensuke! He was Japanese.....

I actually hated most of the Japanese just because they destroyed Koreans before. But after reading Kensuke's Kingdom, I started to pity them and realize that not all Japanese wanted to start the war. This is the best English book I've ever read. Not HOLES..I wish you can all read this wonderful book.
