The Boy In the Dress by David Walliams

reviewed by Ben, aged 12

The book is about a boy who loves playing football and also likes to wear dresses in his spare time, but his Dad knows nothing about it. Will Dennis get away with it?

I like the way that Dennis likes football but I wasn't very keen on the bits where he likes to wear dresses.

The book is good because it has a lot of funny bits but it should have more cliff hangers to keep you wanting to read. I think that overall it was a great book with a really good story.

Until Proven Guilty by Nigel Hinton

reviewed by Jessica, aged 12

This is about a boy, Nathan, whose life gets changed when his Dad gets arrested for killing three girls. I liked that the story was mysterious and the plot keeps you in suspense. Also, I liked that the book was not too long and it finished on a cliff hanger.

Rihanna: Bad Girl by Michael Heathley and Graham Betts

reviewed by Jessica, aged 12

This book is about the pop star Rihanna and where she has been around the world. I really liked to hear about Barbados and there are lots of photos of what she is wearing and her many hair styles. If you like Rhianna, you will love this book.

Mr Stink by David Walliams

reviewed by Anthony, aged 12

This is a book about a homeless man called Mr Stink, his dog, and a girl called Molly who is trying to find out about his past.

It's quite funny at times and one chapter was about a sausage! I liked that it was funny and exciting and almost like a mystery. However, David Walliams could have made the chapters a bit shorter.

Overall, I really liked it and will now read some of his other books.
