The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe by CS Lewis

reviewed by Taylor, aged 11

The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe is a very exciting book to read. There are lots of adventures and weird things in it. For example, the Ice Witch has powers with her staff. Once I saw all the films it made me want to read the book, which is very good.

So far, I haven't completely finished it but I would say that it is a very emotional book, can be really sad in parts and you get chills down your spine. I would surely recommend this book, which is part of an extremely successful series.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

reviewed by Zak, aged 11

The Hunger Games is a story about a 16 year old girl called Katniss Everdeen. She lives in a nation called Panem in North America and is sent to the Hunger Games to fight for her life.

I enjoyed how the author wrote it because it's like she's telling me her life story. It has a plot full of adventure and survival, and reminds me of the Roman Gladiators. It's one of my top 5 books ever!

This book of poetry is about some of Rosen's life – which he really seems to have enjoyed, especially as a child. Lots of the poems are really funny. I would recommend this book to anybody who likes poetry or funny things!

The Butterfly Lion by Michael Morpurgo

reviewed by Marcus, aged 11

This book, in my opinion, is really good. It starts with a boy who is not happy with his boarding school so he runs away. He finds a massive house with electric gates and an old lady discovers him and asks him in for tea. He is sat in the kitchen when he looks out of the window and sees a big white lion carved into the grass. He asks the old lady what it means and she tells him the story of the butterfly lion.

The story is about a young boy named Bertie who lived in Africa and had a white lion club, which was sold to a circus. He moves to a boarding school in England hoping to find his lion there, but then the First World War starts.

I like this book because it talks about friendship, love, war and there is a good twist at the end.

Awesome by Pete Johnson

reviewed by Hannah, aged 11

This book was really funny. A boy called Ben lies about who he is when a girl mistakes him for a famous film star. I thought it was a great comedy. You should read it!
