I really loved the book Over This Backbone by Ya Reeves, The books is about a 19 year old girls freelance outdoor and environmental educator experience from Far East Gippsland. Following in her parents footsteps, she studied a bachelor of outdoor education with honours and has worked in wild and beautiful places across Australia. The book is about her story.

They both die at the end
I loved this book, it was a nice reminder of how we need to live each day like it is your last. The book is about two boys, Rufus and Mateo who meet after getting notified by ‘Death Cast’ that today is their Death day and at some point today they are both going to die. Throughout their last day the boys develop a really close relationship, helping each other to complete all the things they wished to achieve by the time they died. It is a very sweet and sad book that plays with your heartstrings and opens your eyes a bit more. I loved the characters and how they helped each other, the author does a great job at making you connect with the characters and feel for them. I rated this book a 4/5 and recommend it to 12+.

I recommend the film ‘Almost Famous,’ a captivating journey into the world of rock ‘n’ roll and self-discovery. Written and directed by Cameron Crowe, this coming-of-age drama follows 15-year-old William as he embarks on a remarkable adventure touring with the fictitious band ‘Stillwater’. The film brilliantly captures the spirit of the 1970s music scene, transporting audiences to a time of iconic rock anthems and rebellious attitudes. Crowe’s keen eye for detail and authenticity ensures that every frame is vibrant with nostalgia, making it a visual treat for music enthusiasts and history buffs alike. Central to the film’s charm is William’s endearing innocence as he navigates the chaotic world of rock journalism. His encounters with the band members and the enigmatic Penny Lane are both heartwarming and thought-provoking, shedding light on the complexities of fame and human relationships. The film’s pacing is generally strong, but there are moments where it meanders, mirroring the unpredictable nature of life on the road. However, this leisurely rhythm contributes to the film’s authentic portrayal of the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle. ‘Almost Famous’ skillfully balances its comedic moments with poignant reflections on identity, dreams, and the fleeting nature of fame. The soundtrack, featuring classic rock hits, becomes an integral part of the narrative, enhancing the film’s emotional impact. ‘Almost Famous’ is a must-watch for anyone seeking a nostalgic and heartfelt cinematic experience. With its rich characters, captivating storyline, and stellar soundtrack, the film earns a full 10/10 rating. It’s a cinematic gem that transports you back in time while delivering timeless themes of passion, friendship, finding home, and the pursuit of authenticity.

I recommend: Miraculous The Movie
Just like the series itself, ‘Miraculous the movie’ was one of a kind!
Keep in mind, this has nothing to do with the Miraculous series at all.
It is recommend that you watch series 1-5 of Miraculous
This movie is about Ladybug (Marinette Du Pan Cheng) and Catnoir (Adrien Agreste) who fight off a villains created by Hawkmoth to protect Paris. Unlike the series, the movie shows a whole different perspective of life for Marinette and Adrien. It goes more in depth about each of the characters than what the series does and allows for a longer backstory for both Marinette and Adrien.
It has also been said by other reviewers but the movie is more canon adjacent than canon
Although, this movie isn’t what many Miraculous fans expected, I for one loved every minute of the movie. I loved the fact that Jeremy Zag gave the characters backstories as it made it more understandable and much more relatable. In the series we hardly get to know about Marinette and her struggles however, this movie opens more doors and creates a greater in depth understanding of Marinette. Another thing I liked that Zag did was touch on real life problems in the movie. This was done through the characters Marinette, Gabriel and Adrien. I loved how he explored the issues of ‘failure, family and love’ and what it does in great depth. Although love is a key issue explored through the series, the movie like I said touches on more than one aspect.
I really loved this movie, despite it being a tad too long in certain areas. It’s definitely worth your time!
I rate it a solid 4/5

Shatter Me
Shatter me is a dystopian novel about a 17 year old girl called Juliette who has fatal powers and is being held captive as a potential weapon. I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was a little slow at the beginning but the short chapters made it easy to get through. I really liked the action, world building and the suspense that made me very intrigued to know more about the world that these characters live in. This book is a part of a series and I am excited to get to know the secondary characters more in the following books. Overall I rated this book a 3.5/5 and I recommend it for ages 13+.

Vardaesia:
Alexandra Jennings(Alex) is a 17 year old girl who ventures to Tia Auras, A mystical land of gold in the clouds, with her closest friends on a mission to recruit them to fight in the Medoran wars against Aven Dalmarta, a Merayan tyrant. She has to go through 6 impossible tasks across 6 days in order to prove her worth. She soon finds companionship with her helper Zaylin and connects with her bonded Draekon, Xiraxus. She makes friends and enemies within her time there but only time will tell whether she wins or loses. This book is amazing. Vardaesia is a fantasy novel but also a coming of age. It is a mix of a dystopian fantasy land full of magic and fun and deep life lessons that teach you that failure is inevitable and how to move past that and be strong. I would recommend this for anyone 13+ but some younger mature people may be able to read. I would rate this 5/5 stars. it is beautifully written with intricate schemes, plots, love life and magic.

The Hurricane
This movie was one of the best I’ve seen all year. It was sooo interesting. It’s based on a true story about a boxer who was falsely convicted of murdering three people and spent 22 years in prison because of it even though he was innocent. This is one of the most gripping stories and the fact that it was true made it that much sadder. It was brilliant and I highly recommend. Denzel Washington plays Rubin “Hurricane” Carter and he was incredible in it. I recommend this movie for 15+ and I rated it a 4.5/5. If you like murder mystery, court room type films than this is the movie for you.

Bohemian Rhapsody
I LOVED THIS MOVIEEE!! Queen has always been one of my all time favourite bands and this movie was just amazing. I think Rami Malek did an incredible job at portraying Freddie Mercury and capturing his rockstar essence. Apart from Freddie (obviously), my favourite character was Roger the drummer because his comedic timing was awesome and I thought he was very funny. The movie is about Freddie Mercury’s life from when he was just working at an airport to when he became one of the world’s most well known rockstars from one of the best bands ever. Overall I rate this movie 5/5 and I recommend it to ages 15+.

I loved this book so much, it was so entertaining. It’s about Rowan who, in order to receive his inheritance from his grandfather, has to become the director of his grandfather’s theme park; Dreamland.

When she drunkenly submits a proposal criticising Dreamland’s biggest ride, she expects to be fired but instead Rowan hires her. An interesting relationship develops from there…
It was so enthralling. I enjoyed every minute. Something about the simpler language made it easier to get hooked. It is a bit spicy so I recommend to ages 15+ and I rated it a 4.5/5.

Heart stopper is definitely one of my most favourite things I’ve ever read. These books are a 4 (soon to be 5) part graphic novel. It’s rapped around the main characters Charlie Spring and Nick Nelson and goes deep into what their lives are like, and their relationships with other characters. I absolutely adore how cute this book is and I would definitely read them over and over again. I would recommend these novels for the ages 12+ due to certain courses of bag language, and I would definitely give this book an 8.5/10.

It is about a girl named Avery who is mysteriously named the heir of a billionaire who passed away. She has no idea why she is the heir, as she has no idea who this man is. The whole book she tries to figure out why he picked her over his 4 grandsons, and they have to solve this puzzle to figure out why. Even at the end you are left on a cliff hanger, and are forced to read the next book in the series to find out more! This book was sooo good, and I definitely recommend.

I recommend the newly released netflix movie ‘Do Revenge’. While this movie is centered around quintessential tropes, I believe it pays the appropriate homage to movies of the past. The storyline is very enagaging, as well as the pacing. We follow a story of two seniors in high school who are out for revenge for their own reasons. Love, reveals, and friendships later we see the grand reveal at the end of the film. The two stars, Maya Hawke and Camila Mendes work wonderoulsy together to create an engaging, feel good story. I reccomend if you enjoy simple stories and a sit-com type of movie! 8/10!

If you enjoy books filled with action, romance and dystopian themed books, The Hunger Games are for you. The Hunger Games takes place in a country divided into twelve districts (The thirteenth got blown up) and ruling Capitol that hosts the annual Hunger Games, where 2 tributes from each of the twelve districts are chosen to participate in these life-or-death games. After volunteering for her sister, The main character Katniss Everdeen fights for survival in the arena. This is one of the best book series I have ever read, and kept me hooked the entire time. I would recommend this book to ages 11 and above, because it has some gore and is relatively easy to read. I would give this book a 9/10, because I enjoyed it thoroughly and I have re-read this series many times.

I would recommend the book ‘One of us is Lying’ by Karen M McManus, because it is a blend of modern drama and mystery, and always kept me hooked, containing interesting characters and suspenseful plots. This book is also very well written, not too wordy and very easy to follow, making it easy to read and keep me invested. It follows four teens, who witness the murder of one of their classmates – and they’re the main suspects. I would give this book an 8/10, because it is interesting and left me on the edge of my seat, but I found some of the characters a bit cliched and stereotypical, as well as the changing perspectives were kind of confusing. I would recommend this book to ages 13 and over, due to some of the adult-like themes.

I recommend ‘The Merciless’ (book). I first read most of this novel in year eight (2020) and recently re-visited it. The Merciless is a bizarre, odd, cliquey story. The plotline was crazy and a bit all over the place, the characters weren’t terrific and it was somewhat predictable. The gory/horrific parts, in my opinion, were really well done; they undoubtedly gave me chills. The Merciless gives a slight homage to Steven King, in a teenage culty angst way. If you don’t enjoy being creeped out, or the uncanny themes; probably don’t read this. However, I loved the classic mean girls, American high school tropes, and conventions as they are portrayed in a new light. Give this a read!

I recommend the classic: Dracula – The amazing language used in this book to convey the intriguing romanticism of this gothic horror story makes it a real literary masterpiece. This novel, in my opinion, focused more on the theoretical implications of life and death as well as the significance of genuine friendship, loyalty, and love. Although this book has a number of gruesome horror sequences, it wasn’t written in an effort to just terrify readers in a cheap way. The book has so much complexity, and throughout it, I found myself appreciating the main character Mina for her bravery and faith. Dracula combines letters and diary entries to tell the story, in a way that keeps the reader interested.
If you’re ever wondering what to read, give Dracula a go, you will not regret it!

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder – Holly Jackson
One of the best books I’ve read this year is the Good Girl’s Guide to Murder. It was Holly Jackson’s first published novel and I still find that so hard to believe because of how good it is. The book is about Pip who is doing her final project for year 12 and decides to reopen a closed case that happened in her town not so long ago. However, the deeper she gets, the more danger she puts herself and the people she loves in.
I
LOVED
IT.
Jackson did such an amazing job at setting up so many possible suspects and red herrings so that I was always kept on my toes. Also, the chapters are really short so it was so easy to just churn through, every time I finished a chapter I was like: “mmmh, just one more.” So much so that I lost track of time most nights. I rated this book a 5 star read and recommended it for people 13+.

Will he fix it? I wont spoil! In Shrek 2, we are introduced to a few more characters such as puss in boots and a giant gingerbread man called Mongo.

*Stares at the wall for some second* so…..ummmm. *rethink her whole life*. Let’s talk about this book… it’s ummm AMAZING. LIKE FOR REAL! So of course we bring Holly Jackson back again after GGGTM (Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, if you have read this book you would get it.) But this book is a whole another level, it took me from some thoughts of just an adult wanting a vacation, to OMG HE DID WHAT? This book goes like this…. Her podcast from the mystery she solved became famous, but she needed a break, until one of the closest person to Pip went missing. She tells the police “the less she is involved the better” or is it? The police does NOTHINg (Like come one, is just another reason for me to hate DANIEL DA SILVA, ugh…..anyways back to the point) Pip has no option but to investigate. Now…be careful for clues, and people, and PHONES. This book wants you to know what happens next, but I am now terrified of dating apps. I LOVE RAVi (still nothing new) HE IS SOOOOO CUTE. My least favourite character it continues to be MAX. I… I…. *come one control your anger*…I dislike him. WHO AM I KIDDING? I HATE HIM, and you would to if you READ THE BOOK! I give it a 10/10 is was sufficient, surprising, amazing, lovely, exploding, ugh I can’t get enough of Jackson and her books. I recommend 13+ to read just because there is blood, and guns, and very descriptional scenes, and crimes. If you like crimes, and mystery this is for YOU.

LITTLE WOMEN (MOVIE):
The story of Little Women is a classic that is well known around the world which is why I think it is so amazing how well Greta Gerwig did with this movie adaptation. The cast is the most amazing thing about it, with Emma Watson, Saoirse Ronan, Florence Pugh and Eliza Scanlen as the four March sisters, Timothée Chalamet as their neighbour Laurie, Laura Dern as Marmie and Meryl Streep as Aunt March. If you are unfamiliar with this story, it tells the tale of four sisters coming of age and learning about life through thick and thin. This movie version of the book is a beautiful work of art. It works through flashbacks and current events which can be confusing at some points but is so wonderfully presented. I loved it so much and it is probably one of my favourite movies. I recommend this to ages 12+ and rate it a 9.5/10.

The book ‘One was lost’ is one of the best murder mystery books I’ve ever read. This book keeps you on your toes and every page leaves you wondering the truth about a senior highschool camp.

Shatter me by Tahereh Mafi
This book is amazing!!!!! I give it a 7/10 just because for a moment I stopped reading. But if you like mystery and a real strong lead character, i think you would like this story. From the first line it got me. It goes like this….“I’ve been locked up for 264 days.
I have nothing but a small notebook and a broken pen and the numbers in my head to keep me company. 1 window. 4 walls. 144 square feet of space. 26 letters in an alphabet I haven’t spoken in 264 days of isolation.
6,336 hours since I’ve touched another human being.”
I always questioned what happened to her? How could her parents leave her? I love her personality from the beginning. I cannot relate to her at all. one I TALK A LOT. I can’t go even 2 seconds without talking, i’m like giiiiirl you haven’t spoken IN 264 DAYSSS????YOU OK? but then again 98% of my blood is Latin and we are known to talk. I think anyone could like this book, if you like love and mystery and fantasy then this is your book. My favourite part is when she looks out the windown for the birds, I like how much she talks inside her head but not outside. Is such an interesting story that you can’t help but ask “what happened?”. Everyone shoudl READ THIS BOOOK!

Pride and Prejudice By Jane Austen
So a classic, almost all my friends would say is a boring book, but COME ON! JANE AUSTEN????? She is NOT boring, thank you very much! I had a hard time getting used to reading old English, even though I had read sense and sensibility and little woman, by of course jane austen and another incredible author (recommend to read those book too). I know there is a film to Pride and Prejudice, and I watched it, the newest one, and OMG my eyes. Mr Darcy does NOT look like that for me. Anyways, jane austen is my favourite author but even though I would give this book a 8/10 because one I don’t like Jane in the book, and 2 The whole proses they had to go through just to realise they loved each other KILLED ME. But, I did enjoy it. I recommend this book to anyone who is up to an old english enemies to lovers classic book. I think anyone could read this book. My favourite character was Mrs Bennet, and Mr Bennet, but especially Mrs Bennet, she is like me. So dramatic, and chaotic. I love Izzys family is almost like mine, and Mrs Bennet is like my grandmother. Mr Bennet is just so funny with his wife, I love their relationship. My most disliked charcter is Miss Bingley. She is so mean, like come on! Mr Darcy is waaaaaaaaay out of your league, just move on sweatheart. My favourite scene is the ICONIC walk through the room, and of course the conversation they had while they danced. I think everyone should read this book, while they listen to classical music and have a cup of tea in front of your windown while its raining, or you could just read it in your free time, but is dedication and you have to pay attention to details.

I recommend this book to all of the people, who need to cry, and to those who love photography, and some love, and family problem books. Juliet always wrote letter to her other while she was alive, but when she died she just wrote them and put them on her grave, that how she could cope with her lost, then because of the cleaning they went in the trash, but she didn’t care. NOW….. *extreme inhale*… the cute boy of Declan, the tough/bad/criminal boy from school, that everyone fears has to do community service (of course) at a local cemetery (of course) because of the trouble he “caused”. Once he finds the letter from Juliet, he is haunted from his own past, as he read the letter. He wrote back once, but from them they didn’t stop. Major plot twist, if you wanna know what happened you should read it….like RIGHT NOW! I recommend this to 13+ because it goes over use of alcohol, and death, and grief. If you need to cry then read this book, is a real quick reading book. My favourite character is Rev, and my least favourite character was Declan’c mum, I just think she is dumb. Go read the book!

One of us is next by Karen. M McManus
Well… here we are… after the book ‘One of us is lying’ (which by the way best book eveeeer). To be honest I though more of this book, that is why I give it a 9/10 other than that… OMG. I loved iiiiiit. Is amazing how this author can get to you. This book is the second one of One of us is Lying, which by now is a series, and a pretty well known book. BUUUUT…. One of us is next, is like what I needed after what happened between Bronwyn and Nate, but this book God, I love Maeve and her love interest, sorry I just needed to say that. This book is just about how to survive a game of truth or dare, but what happenes if you don’t play. I think the plot is amazing, and if you want to know then READ IT!
I recommend this book to anyone who likes thrillers, and high school drama, and some type of love. This book goes over a lot of things that do happen in real life. But the way that Karen can make me cry is amazing. But don’t expect to cry because I am sensible, and a cry baby, soooo… It was easy to cry. My favourite character was Maeve, because I can relate to her as a younger sister with an older sister who is good at everything. And my least favourite character is Jules, I just had an off vide since the begging. I love how Luis is just like my cousin, because he is a flirty, but also funny.

I really loved this book, this book had me from the beginning to the end. I’m a crazy person when it comes to books about crimes, just the thrilling part of who killed the person. This book had everything, an amazing plot twist, amazing character, and of course some looooooveeee! I give this book a 10/10. My favourite character was Ravi, he is such a funny and ute character. His love language is sarcasm, and the teamwork of him and Pip is amazing. My least favourite character is Max, he’s just…..ughhhhh. I can’t say much, but is just… I am so mad. My mother says “hate is such a strong word” so…. I HATE HIM. I think people over 13 should read it just because they go over some pretty mature concepts.

The book ‘One was lost’ is one of the best murder mystery books I’ve ever read. This book keeps you on your toes and every page leaves you wondering the truth about a senior high school camp. One was lost may seem boring at first but it gets more interesting after the first chapter. My favourite character is Sera because she is caring, scared and willing to take multiple risks. I also like Emily because she’s caring and she is willing to sacrifice her life for others. My least favourite character is Hannah, because she is a big fangirl and relies on people to help her.
I definitely recommend this book and hope to see it in the library.

Lupin it is a French Netflix original series. It was really good. If you like action and thrilling series like me, you would really like this series. Every scene makes ask yourself ‘How did he do that?’ and ‘Why did he do that?’. The story of a young man telling his story is sometimes a little bit confusing but if you keep watching you will be like ‘Ohhh, that’s smart’. This series is something that you can’t stop watching because you want to know what happens next. Season 1 is out but Season 2 will come in its way hopefully with more surprises. I give it a 10/10.

Little do they know they are being followed because Roxy has a special chip that a man wants. It’s hard for their dad since their mum past away and the girls try hard to make it feel ok.

i highly recommend reading ‘a good girls guide to murder’. if you have a love for thrillers with intricately crafted plotlines and riveting twists and turns arising whenever you’re least expecting them, then this is most definitely the perfect book for you.
holly jackson has such an ornate gift which she utilises perfectly to wind together unendurable suspense with a lurking sense of apprehension and perplexity; as readers attempt desperately to piece together the pieces of the baroquely crafted puzzle of sal singh and andie bell’s double murder – before it’s too late.
the ending is certainly unprecedented, previously featured sickening plot twists leading to a purely astonishing finish nothing short of epic.
i definitely propose considering reading this if you’re a fan of murder mystery and psychological thrillers.
once you start reading, it’s hard to put down!

Island of Fog – Keith Robinson
The Island of Fog is a great start to an amazing series. I enjoyed how at the start you had no idea what was going on and that everything was shrouded in mystery. My favourite character was Hal because he was a very brave character who was skeptical with what was happening around him. My favourite part of the book is when most of the children meet up to talk about all the changes which were happening to them. I found it funny how they all were weary around Miss Simone and that they were not trusting of the adults. I relate to the kids because they were scared and didn’t know what was happening and I find fault in the parents for that. My least favourite part of the book is just most of the start. I found it a bit boring and hard to continue when nothing was happening. After some events it was harder and harder to put the book down and not stay interested in what was happening. If you read this book, I would say to keep on reading even though the start can be extremely boring. The whole series is a good way to pass your time so I would definitely recommend.

The Book Thief- Markus Zusak.
I love this book very very much. It is set in Nazi occupied Germany, and the story follows a young girl called Liesel Meminger, who is given to Rosa and Hans Huberman as a foster child. She is a defiant and very intelligent little girl who loves to learn. Hans, her Papa, teaches her slowly but surely how to read, to stop the teasing form her classmates and teacher.
I love the way this book really describes what living in this time would have been like for an everyday German citizen. Many WW2 books talk only of the people being directly impacted, like the Jewish people or the soldiers on the front line, because these topics often make for a better story, but ‘The Book Thief’ is about Liesel. It is about the way she and her town live life, and the little but big things that happened for them everyday.
This book is touching and sad, and absolutely an amazing read. I would definitely recommend reading this and sticking with it, because the story is truly heartwarming.

Nikki’s locker is next to the most popular girl at the school and the leader of the CPP ( cute, cool & popular) group. Thats where all the drama comes from. This would be great for girls around 8-15 who loves drama and a silly romantic. The ending is always great, something happens that she wanted to happen at the start, she just needed to find it. Nikki has two best friends Chloe & Zoey who are both hopeless romantics. She also has a crush Brandon who Mackenzie really likes as well. I would rate this book a 8/10. This book is great!

I would definitely recommend the book ‘The Earth is Singing’ to anyone looking for a good read. It is really exciting, but also very sad. The main character’s name is Hanna, and she lives in Riga, the capital of Latvia. This book is set in WW2 and Hanna and her family are Jewish, so it has a very dark subject matter. The book is very insightful, but heart wrenching and overall very sad.
Hanna dreams of being a ballet dancer, and throughout the book we see her progressively get poorer, skinnier, hungrier, sadder, until eventually she isn’t allowed to go back to dance school and is forced to give away her dream.
Hanna is also betrayed in the book by her boyfriend, who turns out to be a nazi soldier instead of the kind police officer she thought he was.
This book shows how horrifying and scary those times were, and really tells the reader exactly how Hanna feels in the many tragedies that ensue over the course of the story. I love this book, and I think it is a great read!

I’m a big fan of TV shows because I know every time I finish an episode, I know there is another episode waiting for me around the corner. The TV series ‘Riverdale’ captured my attention and drew me in immediately. The characters are all so unique and funny in their own ways. The story line is based of the old Archie comics, which is something unlike any other TV show around! I give this series a 10/10 for creativity and comedy.

I would recommend the book ‘The Face on the Milk Carton’ by Caroline B.Cooney. It is a thriller and mystery that is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the entire read. It is about high-school student Janie, who one day sees a picture of herself much younger on one of the missing child ads on the back of a milk carton. As Janie’s parents are loving and kind she couldn’t possibly see how they would have kidnapped her. This book is a really good read and I would rate it a 8/10 and I think it is best suited age 13+.

Zootopia is a funny and engaging movie designed for all ages whilst still having a truly memorable message based on inclusiveness.

I recommended the film, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. An iconic 80s film directed and written by John Hughes, it documents the day of American high schooler, Ferris, who fakes to his parents that he is sick and, therefore, can’t go to the school. In shock that his parents actually fell for it, he enjoys a reckless day of stealing a Ferrari and driving around Chicago with his two friends.
My favourite scene in the movie is when Cameron is acting depressed and low. He is sitting by the pool and falls in. Scared for his safety, Ferris dives in to save him to then discover that he was faking it the whole time.
This film is such as legendary film and a must watch for everyone. I rate it an 8 out 10.

This is what gets me through Mondays; the thought that it’s the night that Channel 10’s Have You Been Paying Attention? is on. If you want something to watch in the evenings, watch this. If you’re in need of some family friendly TV (maybe over the age of 14 though, so maybe not so family friendly), watch this. If you want to have a good ol’ laugh, watch this. My favourite panel members are Sam Pang and Celia Pacquola. They are hilarious.
The best part about this show is actually that you’re being educated on current news and celebrity gossip, all while being in hysterics as the panel take the mickey out of politics, foreign affairs and everyday life.
All in all, it’s very entertaining and I recommend the show to anyone and everyone. I rate it a 9 out of 10.

Cat on a hot tin roof (play script version)
In class for literature we read Cat On a Hot Tin Roof, and I really enjoyed it. It was my first time reading a play script and I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. The script written in the early 1950s, explores conservative topics and themes. Its about a pressured to be successful and wealthy family, and their news that their father is dying, and the fight for his inheritance. This play shows the brokenness of the family and their lack of communication which tears hem apart. I would recommend for mature readers, year 11 and above and would rate it 9/10.

I recommend Dance Academy: The Movie.
Being a dedicated watcher of all three seasons of the Australian dance drama series since it first came out, it was my number one priority to go and see how the continuation of it’s plot line translated onto the big screen.
The film went above and beyond what I expected. My favourite scene was when the whole gang was together in Ben’s hospital room and they were even joined by Ms. Raine. They joked and they laughed and it felt like old times when they would hang out together around the academy. Without a doubt, my favourite character is Ben Tickle (played by the talented Thomas Lacey). His character is so bubbly and fun and he always knows how to make someone smile. Ben always puts other people first which is why is it so sad watching him get sick and be rushed to hospital.
I wouldn’t change this movie for the world – it didn’t ruin the TV series and it wrapped up the story beautifully. I rate it 9 out of 10 and a must see for lovers of the show.

I recommend to anyone going to the movies this weekend to go and watch Their Finest. I went to go watch the movie on a whim, and it’s undoubtedly the best movie I’ve seen all year, maybe the best movie I’ve ever watched.
The movie centres around a woman living in London during the tense times of WWII. In London, she finds a job writing for a film company. During this time movies are made specifically to boost moral for the Allies; encourages more boys to go to war, women to work in the factories, and provide hope and a sliver of goodness in people’s lives despite what goes on around them. It’s a bit of a feel good comedy, drama, period-piece, romance, but heartbreaking nevertheless.
It’s so beautifully made. You just have to watch it to understand. It’s amazing.

I recommend Pretty in Pink, an iconic 80s high school film starring Molly Ringwald. It’s about Andie Walsh – she is an outcast, wears clothes that are considered different and she lives in the part of town that’s a little rough around the edges. Out of the blue, the popular, rich kid asks her out. Throughout the film, Andie is faced with difficulties surrounding her going out with the rich kid from a polished social standing compared to where she lives with her unemployed father.
The film is really great and opened my eyes to the social standings in high schools, which really shouldn’t be there. It taught me, and many others, to not to afraid to stand out and that the opinions of others don’t matter. Even though it’s predictable, it’s such a sweet, light-hearted film. My favourite scene is definitely when Duckie, my favourite character, mimes “Try A Little Tenderness” is the record shop – it was totally out of the blue and hilarious to watch. I rate Pretty in Pink, a film written by the talented John Hughes, an 8 out of 10.

The Hunger Games (book)
The first hunger games book is absolutely fantastic, it was of one of the minority of books I can’t put down and genuine enjoyed. It was a book starring Katniss Everdeen and Peter Mellark. It was a book about war and family and life struggles, although it also had a love story within. Peeta is absolutely in love with Katniss and when he gets put in the Hunger Games with her they become allies and are romantic beneath all the chaos. The pair then start to get sponsored and become capital favourites and are known as the star crossed lovers from district 12. Although they do love each other they are sort of faking it to make it. At the end they are the last two standing and go to both poisonous berries because neither of them could live without each other, well at least thats what they had the capital thinking. They were about to eat them when they got told the games were over, they had both won. this made President Snow very unhappy, and he needs to get even with them, but that will all unfold in the next book in the trilogy. I strongly recommend anyone to read this book, I read it when I was about 11-12, and I adored it.

I recommend the novel ‘Nona & me’ written by Clare Atkins.
This deeply heartfelt novel was truly inspiring. It shows the issue of inequality related to cultural differences and the impact discrimination has on the Indigenous people of Australia. I felt the significant power of friendship and family in this novel made it such a good read.
Rosie a white Australian girl is immersed in the Indigenous culture from birth. Generations ago, her family was adopted into an Indigenous family and into their culture. Today she lives in an Indigenous community but goes to a school that a majority of white Australians attend. This book expresses the major importance of family in the Indigenous lives and explores how prejudice perspectives can interfere with these family bonds. I was intrigued at the two completely different worlds Rosie lives in; The one with Nona and her Indigenous family and the one with Selena and Nick, and how there is collision between the two after certain events.
Although this book had to be read for school purposes, I really enjoyed reading it and was really moved by the strong themes it held. I recommend this book really for anyone as it is a good read as well as educational. It really gave me an insight into the lives of the Indigenous Australians and the pain we have caused them. I recommend Nona and Me 7/10.

It is set in the Great Depression and Lennie and George have to find work on a ranch. Throughout the book you see people with different lives going through different types of misfortunes and people who are struggling under the power of others. You learn about hardships, friendship and care, and through the sad ending you can see that sometimes doing what needs to be done is harder then not. I would like to recommend this book to anyone 13 years and over.

Of Mice and Men is an enticing novel that we read for english this year. It is based on two men, George and Lennie. George is short clean-cut and smart. Lennie is big and dopey, always accidentally getting the pair into trouble, although Lennie has a disability, but in those days disabilities were hidden and shameful. The novel takes us on a journey of their lives, and the extent they have to go to to get and keep a job. In the book themes I saw were disability, racism, gender equality and hardships. I enjoyed this book and recommend it for all ages.

I really enjoyed reading the novel Pretty Little Liars. It’s a saucy and scandalist novel written about a group of girls, their missions to find A and all the dramas in their lives. I would definitely recommend it for teenagers especially or anyone over the age of 10. It was a very good book that I just couldn’t seem to put down. Pretty Little Liars is also a TV series and I enjoyed that also.

I really enjoyed the book shift by Em Bailey. I read it in year 8 lit circles. It is about a girl named Olive, who is recovering from what she only refers to as the Incident. It has left her medicated and loaded with guilt over the resultant disintegration of her family unit. Her father has left. Her little brother Toby wakes up screaming. Her Mum seems to only just be holding it together. Yet Shift is not an oppressive read. Olive is, in fact, a vivacious protagonist who addresses life with the wit and bravadery of someone who has survived. At her high school she has morphed from popular-girl-and-Chief-Assistant to Katie (the Queen Bee of the school) to regular-Olive, who doesn’t give a damn what she looks like or whom she offends by being herself. I would definitely recommend Shift as it relates heavily to teenagers and the difficulties that are the reality of most high school students.

The boy in striped pyjamas is a book is about a nine year old boy named Bruno, who has to leave his five storey house in Berlin to move to an isolated house out of the country, he is extremely annoyed as he has to leave behind all his friends and he would have no one to play with there. Bruno likes to explore, one day Bruno meets a boy named Shmuel. Shmuel wore ripped old striped blue and white pyjamas, and his head was shaved. Shmuel and Bruno were separated, by a large fence with spikes on the top. The two boys were both young and innocent, although their friendship was forbidden. Bruno regular came down to the fence even though his parents disagreed with their children making contact with people on that side of the fence, and Bruno knew this but still went and saw Shmuel frequently. One day Bruno goes to visit Shmuel and he doesn’t come. Bruno persists, but Shmuel doesn’t show. Shmuel was captured and put in a camp with other innocent Jewish citizens, controlled by Hitler’s Natzi’s. Shmuel and his family were killed the day Shmuel didn’t go see Bruno. This novel I read in year 8 for english, and I honestly cried. It is so sad and when I watched the movie it was even sadder. Shmuel is an adorable little boy and to think that him and others his age who were innocent were killed is just sickening. Although a tear jerker I would highly recommend this book to people over the age of 10.

I recommend the novel Nona and Me. We read the novel for our English task this term and I honestly enjoyed it. It’s hard for me to find a book that I actually like and want to read but with Nona and Me I found myself up until all hours, just wanting to know what happened next. I found it more relatable since most of our english novels are set in the old days, and because Nona and Me was set in the 21st century and Rosie and Nona were similar age to me and my friends, it felt more real. Like most, my favourite aspect of the book was the romance between Nick and Rosie. Other than that I enjoyed reading about the Aboriginal culture that is evident throughout the book, and I also related to Nona because I have Aboriginal ancestry, so both girls in the book were relatable.

I recommend the novel ‘Pretty Little Liars’ by Sara Shepard.
I have seen the series before so I was already familiar with the storyline of the novel . However whilst reading the novel I was surprised that it went a little off the storyline depicted in the film. I loved how the book explored way more into the lives of Aria, Hanna, Spenser and Emily and their connection to Alison and all their secrets they held with her. This, I believed made the events in the novel oh so much more interesting!
The girls who separated after Alison’s disappearance are forced to reconnect 3 years later when more news of Alison DiLaurentis arises and each girl starts receiving frightening texts from the mysterious ‘A’ threatening them with private secrets from there past and present. Could it be Alison, No, How could it be. Although not all answers are revealed in this book, I loved the suspense, drama and secrets this book built.
If you are a Pretty Little Liar fan and haven’t yet read this book, I would definitely go and do so! I recommend this novel to any teenage girl who love a little bit of drama, mystery and romance! I rate Pretty Little Liars 8/10

My favourite character was Nona as she was always loyal to Rosie and was a overall good and interesting character.

I have grown up absolutely loving the movie speed and I have watched it so many times. Speed is a 1994 American action thriller film directed by Jan de Bont in his feature film directorial debut. The film stars Keanu Reeves, Dennis Hopper, Sandra Bullock, Joe Morton, and Jeff Daniels. It became a surprise critical and commercial success, it won two Academy Awards, for Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing at the 67th Academy Awards in early 1995. The film tells the story of an LAPD cop who tries to rescue civilians on a city bus rigged with a bomb programmed to explode if the bus slows down. My favourite thing about this movie is how is constantly keeps you in suspense. You think that the movie will go one way and they it completely surprises you. This can be seen at the end when you think everything will be okay after they survive the bus with the bomb attached to it, but all of a sudden something goes terribly wrong.

It was clear that they both loved each other, but didn’t want to hurt others that they have loved in the process. My favourite scene was when the broke into the zoo, and just as they had got caught, David wanted to save Jade from getting in trouble from the police, in order to save her reputation. My least favourite character was Jade’s Dad because he was extremely unaccepting of David, and believed that due to his past he was a terrible person, however he was the one cheating on his wife while on a family vacation.

I Had Seen Castles – book
I Had Seen Castles is a book that we are required to read in Year 9 English. It is a book about John Dante and his experience of the World War and America’s participation in it. He at first doesn’t have an opinion about it and just follows and believes all the propaganda and talk proposed by the public, until we are introduced to Ginny. Ginny changes his life forever. Ginny is definitely my favourite character because she is very honest about her opinion and respects everyone else’s as well. She is very influential to John, before he goes to war. She doesn’t want him to go to war but he still does and we know that he regrets it for the rest of his life. This book is really good and I absolutely loved it. It is educational, but also touching with romance and information about the war at that time. It is a superb book that I would recommend to others who aren’t already going to read it. It is suitable for all ages above probably 13 years old, even though I think it is meant for elderly people because of the type of language used in it, but it is still a really enjoyable novel that I will soon read again! 8 out of 10!

She takes us through her experience at Laurinda (her new school) and the decisions she must take to find out where she stands in this strange place. Her parents are very strict on her education and insist on her achieving her best. My favourite part is her speech at the end of novel about her experience at Laurinda because it is really good, also when she finds her real friends. If I could change one thing it would be that the mean girls at her school (the Cabinet) stayed out of her life as it would have made her experience at the school a whole lot easier! It is a really good book and I would recommend it to probably all teenage girls as it best fits that age group, and boys probably wouldn’t like it. There is a little bit of romance, lots of drama and the sequence of change in this girls educational experience at the school (on her scholarship there).

During Year 8, we are required to read the amazing book: Boy in the Striped Pajamas, which is based on an adventurous, young boy named Bruno who is forced to move from his beautiful home in Berlin to an ugly and depressing home near the Auschwitz Concentration Camp. Bruno and his family move there due to his Father’s new job. Bruno does not enjoy their new home and tries to find something to do whilst at this strange and boring place. One day, he finds himself on his side of a fence in which people dressed in striped pajamas are placed on the other side. He becomes friendly with a boy his age named Shmuel. Without spoiling anything else, I really enjoyed this book and definitely shed a few tears. It is based in the eyes of Bruno and his confusion of the world around him and the innocence in which he possesses. It is a beautiful book, and for me to not spoil anything I mustn’t say what I’d like to change in the book, but maybe if the whole Holocaust never happened this tragic and touching book would have never been written! (not that I didn’t enjoy it, it really is just terribly sad!) But of course the introduction of Shmuel and Bruno’s relationship is a lovely part of the book. Of course I cannot relate to any of the characters, but I can try to imagine what it would be like in all of the characters positions and all of them play significant roles in the story. A beautiful and extraordinary book in which is almost meant for children, although it is much too dense and mature for a child to understand so I would say anyone over the age of maybe 11-12 should definitely read this book because it is really, really good. The movie is just as amazing, if not better! 10/10!

If I could change one thing in the movie, it would be the octopus as he was almost creepy and sketchy when first introduced, but all is resolved toward the end of the movie. When Dory is searching for her parents after having flashbacks, everyone hopes that she gets to find them and the movie is based on these lost memories of her parents that sends her on an adventure to find them. It is a really good movie and I will probably watch it again. Not as good as the first one, but still really enjoyable 🙂

My favourite part of the movie was pretty much every part that Kevin Hart’s character was in because he is just really funny, especially when he meets The Rock’s character as The Rock is so different to what he is like in real life. My least favourite part is when Kevin Hart’s character (I’ve forgotten the name of the characters) breaks up with his girlfriend because they seem really good together, even though you can predict they will get back together eventually. I wouldn’t change that part in the movie though because or else it wouldn’t be as good.

Archimede Fusillo is a good writer and should continue on with the story because “the Dons” has a bit of a bad ending and should continue the story. I would be interested to find out what happens next and I’m sure that other people would like to as well. I actually found this book really interesting because it portrays perfectly how teenage life, especially to do with family, can be difficult at times. It’s a great example of how italian teenages, who are born in Australia with Italian born relatives near by, deal with the daily stresses of normal teenage life along with trying to keep dignity in the family. Overall I would rate this book a 8 out of 10 and really recommend it for people who enjoy comedies and family sense books with a little bit of sadness.

The Trials of Apollo: The Hidden Oracle — Rick Riordan
This book is a ‘spin-off’ of the Percy Jackson series, it follows Apollo, a Greek god, who has been cast out of Olympus and sent to live in the mortal world, as a mortal.
I think the book was awesome! I liked seeing the classic setting of camp half blood again. But the best part of the whole book was definitely seeing Percy Jackson again. Even if this book wasn’t about him, I feel like authors love their original series the most and always want to go back to them; Percy Jackson was involved. I love seeing Percy Jackson, glimpses of what he’s become within the Apollo storyline.
Another great part was Apollo himself, Apollo wasn’t just mortal, he was a 16 year old boy with acne, and all of his egotistical personality from when he was a god. This was incredible to read. I felt like I was having the same struggle Apollo was having, tied to the fact he once was a god, but now, simply a human; like when he met his demigod children, ‘oh hey…kids…wait no, my son is older than me’.
Anyway that was a lot of rambling, but you may not understand it, but you have to read all of the series to find out! I promise it’s amazeballs!

It is a diary form series easy and simple to read. The point of a diary is to extend and write your thoughts and feelings, which is why to why I liked it. It’s a different type of text which is fun to read and it breaks down the story. As for the actual book, the storyline itself is very interesting because it interesting to read through a middle school student diary. Greg the narrator of the diary, talks about his siblings and his days at school for how they go. It is interesting to read an American student diary when we don’t know what American schools are like. The book may be fiction but some events may be real life events that has happened and that the author has incorporated into his novel. You may know the American lifestyle and some events in the book may be true, it would be enjoyable to read. You will never know unless you read. I rate this book and the series 8/10.

I recommend the Fault in our Stars. I know we have all seen the movie that was recent in 2014 and we were all over the romance and the drama. But have you read the book, you may not know, but the book explains far more events than the movie. I admit the movie is one of the hottest movies especially Ansel Elgort who plays Augustus Waters. But I guarantee the book is a must and you have to read. It deeply explains the message the author is trying to tell us. And that he expects people for who they are and not what they look like. In this case Hazel, she was diagnosed with cancer when she was 13, until she meets a stunning wonderful person who falls in lover with her for who she is. But that person Gus has kept a secret from her. Do you wonder what it is? Are you curious to find out? Did Hazel ever find out? I guess you have to read the book and find out for yourself. The romance in this book is not cliche and not what you see in movies it’s different and remembered forever. Believe me Gus and Hazel will definitely remember the moments they had together for her, it will be sacred to them. I rate this book a 9/10 for the author deep understanding of the real life situations but don’t necessarily end happily.

I recommend the book The Fault in our Stars. I know many of you out there have all persuaded your friends to read, which by all means do so. But I’m sure there are those out there who haven’t read it, well I guarantee you will read the book when you read what I have to say about it. I admit, the movie is amazing but many of you chose the movie instead of reading the book. The movie is as well as not instead of, the book on the other hand talks beyond more to what it shows in the movie. The author was very detailed throughout the book that you can picture everything in your mind. You can picture the sense of tone which is very difficult when writing only in text and not direct speech. The storyline itself is beautiful, where Hazel the main character is diagnosed with cancer until she meets a guy who falls in love with her for who she is. He has a secret that he kept from her from the very beginning when they first met. Did he tell Hazel his secret? Can’t tell. The genre of the book is romance, but the romance is unpredictable in the real world until you read the book and its written in a form that it is very real and people will accept others for what they look like or who they are. I rate this book a 9/10.

I recommend the book Divergent. Now we’ve all seen the movie and the hot actors in it, I mean, Theo James wow. And Tris played very well by Shailene Woodley, that’s what made the movie amazing. But have you ever read the book. This is just another Hunger Games tale accept this is divergent we are talking about and the book is always better than the movie. What I always say, the movie is the remake the book is original. Remember that. The book is performed to be written in future tense from 100 years from now. The city is divided into 5 factions to help maintain the city. Dauntless the brave, Erudite the smart, Abnegation the selfless, Amity the kind and Candor the honest. Everyone in the city is placed within a faction to help sustain and grow the city. However, there will be those who fit in none called the factionless and there will be those who fit into many factions named divergent. Tris chooses to be dauntless and trains mentally and physically the way dauntless do. But can she pass the tests they offer? Can she remain quiet to not reveal her secret Read and find out? I rate this book 9/10 and if you like this book read the rest of the Divergent series, I guarantee you will love it.

I recommend the book ‘Sold’. It is a unique book and thoroughly explains the tragic events that happen in our world right now. It’s very emotional and heartbreaking, it puts you in that image of torture when the main character, Lakshmi explains her feelings and thoughts at that point in time. The book is based on a young girl called Lakshmi, she and her family are poor and needed money, so Lakshmi travels with a lady who offered her am efficient and effective job opportunity. However, the lady lied to Lakshmi and poor Lakshmi there was no way she could escape. She had to spend the rest of her days as a prostitute with only a little money earned. It is truly heartbreaking to hear the torturous words coming out of Lakshmi mouth how she has to suffer in the chamber with one guy after another. Did she ever make it out of the horrible chamber and saw the day of light again? Can’t tell. Read and discover. I don’t know about you, but this book gave me a clear picture of the scenario happening in our world today, it makes me want to take action upon this. I rate this book a 9/10, the author did a fantastic job on writing a book that she hasn’t been in herself. It takes a lot of deep thinking to achieve this and I think she has.

I recommend the book The Hunger Games, now we can all say that we love the movie but I don’t. The book is much more descriptive and it includes every single little detail of each event happened and scene. The movie gives you the visual of the book, however, did you ever think that the book is different to the movie. Oh yes you must read the book to compare the two and the book is the original, the movie is a remake of the book. Both very different sources. So I suggest reading the book to know what really happened. The book itself is a thriller, I mean, how can you not love it. I certainly do love the book. Katniss (the main character of the book) takes you on a journey of survival, it likes being there in the moment with her surviving in the bush and may have to murder your own peers to be the one left to see the day of light again. Would you kill anyone? Now it may sound a little dry just trying to survive in the bush with 24 other tributes being the last one to live, but did I mention love can save you big time. Yes, their is a little love in the air out in the arena and this love is crucial to survival because it just might save your life. Don’t believe me. Read the book. I rate this book 8/10.

I recommend the book Hetty Feather, this book is unique and very real. It puts you into the character shoes, it allows you to breath and see what the character sees and feels. It is based on a girl who grows up with her foster parents and siblings and she strives to find her real mother. Unfortunately for her, she gets put into a school for foster children and learns the ways of the camp. I wish I could say more but that would ruin the heart of reading the book. Believe me, it is very much a true story probably happened in the early 1900s. The author herself is very exclusive and differs the character from what you read in other books making the character which is named after the book Hetty Feather, different from everyone else. This book requires boxes of tissues because it hooks you into the story and furthermore engages you to read the series. Who knows, maybe you will discover if she ever finds her birth father. But first read Hetty Feather to discover if she ever finds her birth or not, is there a twist ending. I will never tell. I rate this book 9/10, personally, when I read other books I like them but not love them. When I love them I can’t put them down, but for this book, I literally didn’t put it down. So read it, please!

A Streetcar Named Desire
This is a play written by Tennessee Williams and it is set around the mid 20th Century. We had to study this for Year 11 Literature and I really enjoyed it. Not just reading it but studying it also. For me, it was enjoyable because Williams wrote in such a progressive tone because the issues presented still felt relatively relevant to our time. It was a play of passion and love and the destructive strength of desire, as well as other issues like gender roles. To my mind, the most prominent issue presented was the debate between illusion and reality and I chose to study that further for my assessment. In reading this play and watching the movie, I came to understand the role of illusion in our lives and the harrowing nature of reality. Williams writes in a way that is entertaining to read but at the same time, making you contemplate issues you may not have otherwise contemplated before. I rate it a 9/10.

I recommend The Hunger Games, Mockingjay Part 2 movie.
I really enjoyed this thrilling end to an amazing movie franchise, because it was never shy of a bit of drama or action. The storyline was well thought out, and stuck to the main concepts of the last book of The Hunger Games trilogy, Mockingjay, by Suzanne Collins.
The movie was directed in a way that it followed not only the events of the book, but the emotional journey the characters went through. The actors showed emotions so well that I constantly found myself crying at the loss of yet another beloved character, and felt Katniss, the main protagonist’s anger towards President Snow.
My favourite part of the movie was the end of the movie, the Epilogue, because I love happy endings, and I felt happy seeing the characters at peace after such a traumatic series of events, such as the games and the war in Panem.
I would rate this movie an 8.5/10, for it’s exciting ambience and compelling storyline.

My favourite part of the longest ride, is how the time changes. So parts of the movie are about Ira and Ruth and their relationship when they were young, and the other parts of the movie are about Luke and Sophie, and their developing relationship in the present. These couples felt with their own problems, like Ira and Ruth not being able to have children because of ira’s war injury. And Luke keeps getting injured when he is bull riding, and Sophie dropped everything for him (even her promotion in New York). The artwork is the key in this whole story. It is what ties the two couples together, both the women loved the artwork, and the men loved that they loved it. When Ira dies, Luke purchases the cheapest artwork, but because it meant so much to Ira, he gets the whole collection of famous artworks. I really enjoyed this movie, and I rate it a 10/10.

They encounter many horrors on their journey through the hills. When finally they reach a land named Watership Down. Realising they need more rabbits they set out into the unknown once again.
This story is also about the similarities and differences between man and beast. A quote from Richard Adams: “Animals don’t behave like men,’ he said. ‘If they have to fight, they fight; and if they have to kill they kill. But they do not sit down and set their wits to work to devise ways of spoiling other creatures’ lives and hurting them. They have dignity and animality.”
I definitely think you should read this book, it is an amazing story.

I recommend the book Loyal Creatures by Morris Gleitzman. It is a moving story about an unbreakable bond between a horse and a boy. This book is such a great book and i just couldn’t put the it down. I loved this book and couldn’t stop crying at the end. I suggested this book to all my friends and they all read it and loved it too. I recommend this book to readers who love war books, sad books or books about horses. I bought this book because i have read lots of Morris Gleitzman stories and thoroughly enjoyed those too. He is an awesome Author and this book is one of my personal favourites. He wrote books like:Boy overboard, Girl Underground, Once, Then, After, Two Weeks With the Queen and many more. Loyal Creatures is a real tear jerker and i believe it has such an amazing story line. I cant resist to rate this book with a high mark because i absolutely loved it even though its not extremely long it is such an incredible book. I would give it a 9/10!

The Nicholas Flamel Series are great books. I love how Michael Scott has used all of these myths and legends to create a 6 book series. This book is great because there is some truth and some fantasy. My favourite characters are the twins Sophie and Josh Newman, and there auras of silver and gold. An evil doctor is trying to loose all of these dangerous animals over New York City, and it is up to the twins to save the world from utter destruction. Can they do it? I rate this series a 9/10.

I loved the book, The Giver, because it is set in a completely different world and
you got to experience different laws, rules and traditions. My favourite part of this
book was when Jonas, the protagonist, saw colours for the first time because I
liked the way he described them and talked about them. My favourite character
was Jonas because he is a strong character and isn’t afraid to voice his opinion
as some of the other characters in the book are. Even though Jonas has to deal
with pain he still doesn’t give up. He comes up with good ideas for the better of
his community. I think I can relate to Lily- Jonas’ little sister, because she is very
curious about the world around her and loves to learn new things just as I do.
My least favourite part of the book was when Jonas was given his first memory of
pain because they described it in a scary way. If I could change something in this
book I would make it go longer because the ending was a bit abrupt. I would
recommend this book to anyone who liked the divergent series because these
books have many similarities.

The Fault in our Stars.
I love the fault in our stars, It is a movie/book that always keeps you interested.
It’s filled with both a HUGE physical journey with an even bigger emotional journey.
Any way the book is a bout a girl called Hazel who has a problem with her lungs which
Effects her breathing and she could die any day. Because of this it reduces the activities
That regular teenagers can do, like traveling, sport etc.
One day her mum makes Hazel go to a place where she talks her problems, while she’s there she meets a guy called Augustus who also has a problem with his lungs but is still different to Hazels.
Hazel and Augustus fall in love and Travel the world together there is ups in the book, and downs that can even make you cry. But nonetheless it is absolutely magnificent book/movie that I would recommend to all the years levels at sacred heart, from 7-12.

I recommend the book, The Longest Memory is about a young black slave, who lives on a Plantation farm working for the white man. Chapel who is the slave goes through adversities and you follow his story of his short time alive. I liked the book, however I wouldn’t say it’s my favourite book ever. It is quite an easy book to read however the chapters are a bit jumbled up. My favourite part of the book was the love between Chapel and a female character. However my least favourite character would have to be Sanders Snr. because his morals are absolutely horrendous especially the things he does to innocent slaves. If I could I would change the chapter order in this book because it is a bit hard to understand but after a while you do understand exactly what goes where. I rate this book a 7/10 and would recommend it to people who have strong opinions and enjoy a book with little pages.

Sisterhood Everlasting

This book BROKE my heart. This review will be extremely hard to write, because if I say why it broke my heart, I will give the whole book away. Lets just say that there are more than a few tear jerking moments for one sister in particular…
Sisterhood Everlasting is based 10 years after the last escapade of the sisterhood.
I literally can say no more, otherwise I’ll give the whole book away. If you like all the other Sisterhood books, you’ll love this.
It’s sad, hopeful, tragic but most of all, it implies the everlasting bond of true friendship.

Boy Overboard. To be honest I wasn’t really interested in reading this book because I thought it would be all about learning and boring stuff since it was for and English assessment. But after reading this book with my class as the character of Bibi, I really enjoyed it. The harsh laws of Afghanistan force Bibi and her family to flee the country in hope of ending up in Australia. Boy overboard is full of different journeys that each character takes. Bibi wants to explore the world, experience different things and live her life to the fullest, but the strict and unfair laws of Afghanistan restrict her from doing anything out of tradition. Bibi and her family’s journey across the wild seas were never going to be easy and the tough trip soon confronts them with the harsh reality of maybe not making it to Australia. I quite liked this book until we reached the ending, which I really didn’t like!! I talked to some of my friends and they said the same thing and that the ending was lacking a happy resolution. I really would have liked to see the re-connection with Bibi, Jamal and their family also them all reaching Australia. I think that this would have made the book better in a sense of happiness, but then again it is symbolizing a true story as a lot of boats don’t make it to Australia, so I rate this book a 7 out of 10.

Dance Moms. I have really enjoyed watching this TV series because it has so much drama and arguing between the moms, in general it is just very entertaining. It is based on a group of kids at the ALDC (Abbey Lee Dance Company) who are growing up whilst learning amazing dances under very strict instruction. The group of girls that Abbey teaches have such amazing talents and and a passion for dance that strives them to improve every week. The dances that the girls perform every week have a strong story line that draws you into the dance and makes you wish that you could dance. I am not a dancer but after watching these girls dances I always wish that I could do the tricks and moves that are involved in their dances. I love this TV show and would rate it a 10 out of 10. If you don’t watch it, I highly recommend you do because you will get hooked onto it and won’t stop watching!!

I would like to recommend the webcomic Paranatural! This comic is mainly in the point of view of our main character, who’s name is Max. Max has just moved to Mayview with his father and his sister and despite being upset about it, agrees to get fully integrated into town life as soon as possible. However, the town is full of these strange purple monsters and Max begins to think he is going insane. I truly love this comic, from the art-style, to the facial expressions (They are the literal best no joke), to, of course, the storyline, this comic is awesome! They even have realistic expectations for characters of a younger age group (which most forms of media don’t seem to display much these days sadly). I would have to rate this comic 10/10 because I didn’t stop reading it until I hit the latest update. Now I check the site twice a week like a sucker because I am waiting for an update, it does update pretty regularly though so nothing to worry about!

Another recommendation I would like to add to Fict.it.ious is the game Borderlands, which I have just recently begun to play. At the beginning of the game you get to select your character type, and begin your journey to the nearby town, with a voice in your head to help you along the way. This game features minor character customisation, and is fuelled by completing a large range of quests, to help you to level up, and unlock new abilities, areas and weapons. The enemies include a vast array of vicious wildlife, as well as the occasional bandit, or heavy muscle. This game is an open world game, and with the use of lots and lots of amazing minor details, is really quite fun and addicting to play! I would rate 9/10, and my age recommendation would be 13-14+.

During the journey through the Aperture Science Laboratories, you meet a friendly robot, Wheatley, and together you attempt to escape the laboratory.

I rate this 10/10 as it is an amazing game!

I would like to recommend a webcomic (if they can be recommended) called “Homestuck”. Homestuck was created by a very imaginative guy called Andrew Hussie, and is over 9000 pages long and counting, but DO NOT BE DETERRED! despite the slow and really confusing start the comic keeps on getting better and better, and pretty soon you get hooked! The comic is not a very child friendly comic due to violence and swearing, so I would only recommend to people aged 13+, although some of the things that people have created based around that can be a little odd and you may want to exit the tab pretty quickly. But despite all the weirdness that comes from it being popular to a very large group of people, it is popular for a reason. There are so many different characters and points of view to this Sci-fi adventure! The storyline begins by following the adventures of a group of kids as they attempt to survive a game that brings about the apocalypse, and transports them off earth to their own individual planets tailored to suit them and their qualities. From there they must fight to protect Skaia (The Game Board) and claim the ultimate reward from a faulty session. Since you are able to see through every single character’s point of view at least once in the comic there isn’t really a main character. The closest thing to a main character is John Egbert whom you meet at the very beginning of the comic. Homestuck comes in a wide array of different types of media such as short clips (with music), flash games, images and gifs along with the ever present pester log chats that display the dialogue of the characters on each page. All the way through the comic you meet many, MANY different characters a large portion of which are aliens, some of which were created by the game, others previous players of the game from their own home world. This comic has so many different layers and is so well thought through, the universe is just so thoroughly painted, even from the beginning, with each character having a rich and entertaining backstory to add to the big picture of the comic.
The comic is not yet finished, but if you are planning to start reading, this shouldn’t bother you too much!

I recommend the book All Fall Down by Ally Carter to be featured on Fictitious. It is a well written book, and is set in Embassy Row. I found that by reading this, I learnt a great deal about Embassies and the role they play on society, and surprisingly, despite the topic of politics, it was really interesting! The characters have a wide range of personalities, and never fail to have a swirl of mystery surrounding them, which is what makes All Fall Down so intriguing! The main character Grace is a complex puzzle, with her complicated past and the story behind her mother’s death.
The book centres around her life, and follows her in her struggles of constantly being denied of what happened the night her mother died. She is certain of three things:
1. She is not crazy.
2. Her mother was murdered.
3. Someday she is going to find the killer and make him pay.
Although, no one believes her.
This novel is an amazing mystery, I highly recommended it for those who love adventure and mystery novels. I rate All Fall Down 8/10!

Reign is a TV series about the life of Mary Queen of Scots, but it is not as boring as you may think it sounds. It is not necessarily pin point historically accurate because the storyline of her life has been dramatised but it is a good kind of dramatised. It also has some not so historically accurate dresses, however they are gorgeous dresses.
It all begins when Mary returns from her sanctuary at a convent back to court, alongside her hilarious and fun friends Mary enters into a world of backstabbing, politics and love. Of course it has it’s love triangles and power triangles but it will sort itself out among schemes, attempted assassinations and festivals. My least favourite character so far is King Henry II because is he a power hungry bully and a brute. However, I have only watched the 1st season and so who knows what will happen. I would rate this show a 10/10, and recommend it to anyone who loves a good historic story, but over 13 years of age because there can be some blood and guts spilt.

I liked this book because it gave me another perspective as to what really happened after these attacks and enabled me to see into the past and its events. The character I admired the most was Megan Stack herself because although she was not trained to report on issues such as combat, she went into the country anyway and gave it her best effort. She was put through many hardships and was tested in many ways, although this showed in how she was writing, she always seemed to be able to get through this and pushed herself to look beyond the superficial ideals of the war and find out what was really going on.This book is not for the lighthearted as it is a heavy look into the war and how different cultures had different views on the topic. I would recommend that more mature readers choose this book as I believe they would be better prepared for it and would understand it more. However, someone who was interested in history and especially this topic would find this book very exciting and would not be able to put it down.

I recommend the Harry Potter Series. Although they came out a long time ago I recently read them and they brought back so many memories. My favourite book in this series would definitely have to be Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. My favourite character is Hermione because I have always wanted to be her and she is a great role model in the world of magic. I can relate to her because she is a girl who knows what she wants and tries to see the best about everyone she meets. My least favourite part of this book is when many of my favourite characters were killed during battles. I definitely recommend people to read this book if they haven’t or read it again if they already have. I rate this book a 10/10.

This series is hilarious, even though the dance mothers and coach are so serious and have a bit of a potty mouth in the end it was so worth it.
I love this show because of the dancers that the girls performance they are amazing and so talented dancers. They learn new dancers in 3 day and then go and preform it on stage and are expected to come first! The girls on this show train from 4-10pm at night it’s insane! But the girls are truly amazing! I like all the episodes in the tv show! This show has drama just like any show but it’s so funny! My favorite dance mom is Christ (Chloe’s Mum) Even thought she has left this season she was my favorite Mum because she always knew what to say and she read my mind! She is never afraid of what other people think and I love that! I would rate this series 9/10 because you can’t stop watching it and I would say that ages 13 and up just because there is some language used that younger kids shouldn’t listen to!

Ever since her parents left her as a baby, little Annie (Quvenzhané Wallis) has led a hard-knock life with her calculating foster mother, Miss Hannigan. I love this movie because It makes me so grateful for my life and what I have! My favorite part of the movie was when the inspector from child services comes over and cheeks to see if the kids are well treated and are doing good. This is my favorite part because Annie becomes very cheeky in this part and you just have a great laugh! I don’t like the part when she’s goes to the corner café and wait’s there every Friday night to see if her parents come! It makes me so sad so I hate that part because it always makes me cry!! I would recommend this movie to someone who like comedy, and drama but also some sad senses! This movie is good for ages 8+!!

In Home and away there are some many different parts that I love about this book, but my favorite part would have to be when there is a bus crash and people are hurt but most are all okay. There is a lot of drama in this sense but most of all I love how the whole town comes together to help each other and supports one and other. In home and away my favorite character is Phoebe. Phoebe is my favorite character because she is really bright and always has energy and is always looking for ways to help others and be apart of the community!

These small books give you an sort of behind the scenes look into what wizards were reading at school. With cheeky little library notes and scribbles throughout the book, it makes you feel apart of the world you have definitely fantasised about. It explains the rules and regulations of Quidditch and techniques that you can use to play. Its one of my favourite books and it is incredibly easy to read. I rate it 10/10 and recommend for any Harry Potter fan no matter what age!

I recommend the movie brothers. It is an inspirational movie about 2 brothers of complete opposites. One is in the military, with a wife and 2 daughters, whilst the other is going with the flow and doesn’t have a stable job. This movie highlighted the important job the military does for us, but also the fact that these people are given scars that can never be healed. The scariest part of the movie was when Sam was so overdone with emotion, that he was going to shoot himself. If I could change something, I wouldn’t put Sam in jail for he owned the gun out of mental fear, and he would never hurt anybody with it, so he didn’t deserve to go to jail. My least favourite part was when the people in Afghanistan forced Sam to kill the friend he was with so that he could live. The saddest part was when Sam had to tell Joe’s wife that he had killed him. This movie really makes you think twice about the fantastic efforts that our Navy, marines and army do to protect us, and all the things they leave behind to help us. I recommend this move to ages 15 and up as some of it is quite frightening and you have to be mature to understand that content. I rate it a 10/10 and highly recommend it!

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
This was a book given to me when I was 9 years old and I didn’t read it until I was 13. I read the whole thing in 1 day because it was so incredibly interesting. In the whole book there are roughly 10 stories and mysteries that Sherlock and Watson solve. Some are murder mysteries and others are robberies etc. It was so clever and unexpected the way Sherlock Holmes sees things and how observant he is. I was always trying to solve the mysteries myself but they always took unexpected turns that I had no idea were coming. The intelligence of the author was always something I admired and that is why I recommend it to you. This book is for mature audiences only since there are some gory and thriller scenes, and I rate it 10/10.

I highly recommend you the book Sold. For those people who love to read reality and what is going on in our world right now to an innocent girl who goes through pain and finds her way through, than this the book for you. I warn you this book his horrifying because of the torture described, if you can handle that than there should be no problem. It can be quite confronting at times where you are in that orchard position in the book. They way the author wrote the book in a style and structure is appropraite. My anger is directed at some characters in the book who betray Lakshmi, an Indian girl. They lead her down syco paths where she has no right to be in the position she is in parts of the book, where she isn’t free from hardship. It does make you feel irritated but that way the book gets intense and exhilarating. My favourite part in the book is where the author describes the connection Lakshmi has with her friend at the beginning if the book and where her friend is like her mother. The person she relays on to support,help and care for her. Lakshmi doesn’t have a mother but she has a profoundly brainless and foolish stepfather that all he is in for her is money. This book is about bravery in some ways and courage in other ways, altogether this aspects leads to a solution in a unique way

Movie Review- The Lion King
The Lion King is one of my favourite movies of all time and even though it is animated I still love it. The Lion King is very sad at the start of the movie, and some parts throughout it as well. My favourite character is Simba, because he stands up for what he thinks is right, even after he thought he had made a big mistake. My favourite parts of the movie are all the singing parts, because they just make you happy. My least favourite part of the movie was when he didn’t want to go back to his home, and so I was happy when the movie changed a little bit. I would recommend this movie to anyone, because I think it could teach everyone a lesson about standing up for what you believe in.

Movie Review- 13 going on 30
13 going on 30 is funny, inspiring and sad, and that is why I love this movie. I have watched it a couple of times now, and it’s a movie that you can just keep on watching again and again. It is about a 13 year old who wants to be popular. Things don’t really go to plan and she wishes to be 30, and somehow her wish comes true. She finds out who are her real friends and who are not, and who actually care about her. My favourite part of the movie is at the end when she goes back to being 13, because she finally realises that the people who she thought were her friends don’t care too much about her, and she finds out who truly love her. My least favourite part was when her friend betrays her and gives her work to the other magazine company. I didn’t like this because she put so much effort into her work and it just goes to waste, and the other company gets credit for it. I would recommend this to people aged 12 and up because I think that it is a great movie to watch.

Book Review- Blue (Sue Mayfield)
I am reading this book at the moment, and it has been one of the most heart-wrenching stories I have ever read. I have to say that it can be extremely sad at times, and can be hard to read because of how sad it is. I like this book because I think it really makes you put yourself in other peoples shoes and helps you to understand what some people go through in their lives. It is a story about a girl named Anna who is friends with a girl named Hayley, and then Hayley completely turns against Anna and stops being nice to her. The book has two different perspectives in it, and one of them is from Melanie’s perspective on the whole thing. At some points Melanie gets stuck between Hayley and Anna, and that is very hard for her. I love the part at the start when Melanie calls Anna her best friend, because it shows that Anna does have people that actually are kind and care about her, unlike Hayley. I would recommend this book to people 13 years and over who are able to handle sadness and bullying.

I recommend the novel ‘Every Man in this Village is a liar,” written by Megan Stack. This book is quite an amazing story of Megan who is a journalist traveling through different parts of Iraq, Afghanistan and other parts of the world. Her story reflects upon what she encounters over in countries during the war. She interviews a number of people and they place their trust in her. She has seen the fear on people’s faces and the horror of some of the places she visits, it reminds you how lucky we are to live in such a safe country. My favourite quote Megan mentions would probably have to be “Here is the truth: It matters, what you do at war. It matters more than you ever want to know. Because countries, like people, have collective consciences, memories and souls.” The novel is written beautifully and I loved every bit of it, because when you read it it feels like you are actually there with Megan on a journey looking through the eyes of those who have different stories to tell. It is very thrilling however dark, and emotional in some parts. I rate the novel 4/5 stars. I recommend it to those who like adventure, and are 12+. Enjoy 🙂

The ‘Schindler’s List’ was probably the saddest most emotional movie I have ever seen. It is a true story based in Kraków. During World War II, the Germans had forced local Polish Jews into the overcrowded Kraków Ghetto. Oskar Schindler, an ethnic German, arrives in the city hoping to make his fortune. This movie was really confronting, and you truly see the terror the Jews encountered back then during WWII. This movie shows us the true horror of the world’s history and it shouldn’t be ignored. The movie is all black and white, however there is a little Jewish girl is wearing a red coat, and you see her only twice. This film was really confronting and I only recommend it to those who can handle the sadness, and horror of what the Germans did back then to the Jewish people. It truly is a story of determination and survival. It looks so real and in some scenes you forget it’s a movie. I will always remember this movie and I think it will stick with me because it is so real, and it’s hard to imagine what all those people went through during the time of WWII.

Arriving at Abbey Mount, Poppy makes an instant enemy of the school’s head girl, Harriet Bentley. This rivalry between Poppy and Harriet is what makes the film so funny, because they pull pranks on each other. Some pranks however go too far. I loved this movie so much, in fact the actors were hilarious, it is truly one of those movies where you can sit down, (even if you have had a bad day) and laugh so hard. There is a little romance in the film, but the comedy is probably the best part of the movie. I would rate the film 4.5/5 stars! So if you just want a laugh this is the movie to watch.. Enjoy

Just recently I read the book ‘Paper towns’ by John Green. After falling in love with his novel, ‘The fault in our stars’ I just wanted to try reading more of his books, and gee am I glad I did. Paper towns is a fantastic novel about a girl, Margo and a boy, Quentin who go on a fantastic adventure one night before the margo disappears. It is then a mystery as Quentin follows the trails to find where she is. I liked every bit of this novel and there is nothing that I would change. It is the type of book you just can’t out down. I recommend this for anyone age 12 up and rate it a 10/10.

So this movie being all about the penguins was fantastic. It is about the life of the penguins from when they were young to when they are older. The movie involves penguins from all over the world and also involves a villain which is half human half octopus. It is a story of the 4 main penguins Skipper, Private, Kowalski, Rico who join forces with a secret agent group to conquer the mystery of the missing penguins. It is a very clever movie with hidden funny things. It is a movie for all ages and I rate it an 8/10. I do recommend you watch it.

I recommend the book Think Smart, Hazel Green, the last book in the Hazel Green series. My favourite character was Hazel Green. I love the way you never know what she is going to do next, all her actions are unpredictable which keeps you in suspense.
Mr Volio’s bakery has been sold to an anonymous buyer and he has to leave the shop. There will be no more Chocolate Dippers, no more delectable pastries. But Hazel can’t acceptt this. She and Yakov battles this dilemma in their own way; Hazel in her illogical, unpredictable way, and Yakov in his very logical, mathematical way, but both helping each other. But the law is the law and business is business. Residents of the town have split in half and Hazel struggles for a way to find a solution to save Mr Volio and his Chocolate Dippers.

‘The Daughters’ by Joanna Philbin was a nice, fun and light to read. The story is based around three famous people and their daughters. Carina the dare devil, Hudson gentle and Lizzie character is in between the girls. I really did like this book I thought it had a fantastic story line with some very surprising events. My favourite part would have to be either when Lizzie the main character and Todd the guy she likes ends up getting together or when she is doing the shoot for Martin Malloy the most famous Fashion Designer and she walked out on him. These are my favourite parts because they are both magical, special, courageous and show great strength. My favourite character was Lizzie because she is shy but has courage and speaks from her heart. I couldn’t relate to any of the other characters but at times I felt as though I knew how Lizzie felt, the author was really good with detail building the storyline. There were no faults in this book at all, there would be nothing I would change a part from it lasting longer, I just wanted to keep reading and reading this book I would defiantly recommend this book to anyone who likes fashion, drama and romance it has everything in it. I researched the author and discovered she has written three more books in this series, I can’t wait to read them.

Despicable me 2- Movie
This is a funny family movie for all ages.
This movie is a follow up from Despicable me 1 and is even funnier! It is about Gru now loving his adopted children and not just using them for business, a lady comes from the anti villain league in search of Gru because they know he was a villan before this and he knows how they think and plot. My favourite part was at the start of the movie at the birthday party of Agnus it was so funny because the fairy for the party didn’t come so Gru had to dress up as a fairy and entertain the little girls, it was beautiful because Agnus was so excited and afterwards she went up and said “I know it’s you Gru” in her sweet voice. Some teenage girls can relate with Margo the teenager because she was on her phone talking to someone and Gru was very concerned if it was a boy in the end she has a boyfriend and it is very funny was the controversy with Gru and him trying to separate them which is unsuccessful. My favourite character was Agnus because she was so cute, sweet and innocent she was so nice to everyone and very funny. If you are a bit of a kid even if your older you will like this movie and it is a real young family movie. I rate this movie 8/10 and for ages 3+

I recommend the book The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. When we were told to read the book as part of a class project I thought that it would be one of those boring, run of the mill books, but I was very wrong. The book is centered around Bruno, a German boy who’s father works for the Nazi’s. One day while exploring Bruno comes across Shmuel, a young Jewish boy trapped within a concentration camp, and then their friendship begins to grow. I found the book very interesting and at times also quite daring, and I applaud the author for being able to convey such a horrible part of history without making it too over the top or undermining it. I found most of the interacting of the characters very interesting as well, as each character would react differently to things said. Also every character was very fleshed out and developed well, that from just reading the name of a character I was able to get a picture of the type of person they were and their personality. Overall this is an amazing book packed full of emotion, I would recommend it to ages 14+, as some of the themes are quite dark and disturbing. I would rate this book a 9/10.

I believe that the ‘Divergent Series’ is a great series and I would definitely recommend it to to girls around the ages 13-15. I loved this book because it includes action, adventure, drama, romance and lots more. I will not spoil the ending, but I would definitely recommend you to have a box of tissues near yourself while you are reading the last book. I would love to just say that I “liked those books,” but I really can’t, because I utterly LOVED these books. My favourite character would have to be Tris. I know that everyone just chooses the main character ‘because it’s about them and you get to know the most about that person,’ but that’s not true, because in the last book Allegiant you get a little bit on each character because you get to see the story from their point of view. I loved Tris because she has such a loving personality, it’s hard not to love her. She shows us that you can be: kind, selfless, intelligent, honest and brave, all at once and I think that that is the main moral of the story. My favourite part of these books was the end of the second book, Insurgent. I won’t spoil the ending for this one either, but there is a big twist, and it really just made me want to read more. I can relate to Tris because she sometimes feels that she is responsible for a lot of things, even when she’s not, and then when one of those things go wrong, she feels like she has let a lot of people down, but the thing is, she hasn’t. If I could change something in this book, I wouldn’t change anything, because I think that if I changed one single thing, it might ruin it. I think that someone that loves: adventure, romance, action and someone that could handle a tear-jerking book, would absolutely fall in love with this book, just like I have.

However, as it comes to me now, Olaf trumps them all. He is just fantabulous.

The last book of Divergent was captivating, action packed and bursting at the seams with emotion. Four is still my favourite character in this series but however I loved Tris, the conclusion to the Divergent trilogy was right for it. In other series the characters have always hung on at the last moment or defied their fates and Veronica Roth (Author) was brave enough – like Tris – to do it. The change of setting in the book is something that I strongly disagreed with while reading the book but again, the conclusion suited it perfectly. I recommend this series to anybody that wants an adventure or the chance to feel what a broken heart truly is and I strongly urge those who have only read the first or second of the series to savor the moments they have.

Okay, so I’m recommending the Blood lines series by Richelle Mead.
I wish that I could say it that simply, shrugging it off as a “yeah, I like that book” but sadly it isn’t like that at all.
These books are the best thing I’ve read all year, and being a nerd, I’ve read a lot. And I mean a lot.
But they are also the worst thing I’ve read all year. For some, that’s hard to understand, and I don’t know how t explain it, so I’m going to give you a John Green, who is my hero, quote, which goes like this:
“Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.”
This series, particularly the latest one out, The fiery heart, has heart-throbbing deaths that made me want to rip my eyes out. But it also had mind-cleansing love that made me want to fall off a cliff with such beauty.
To get to the point, the story follows a young woman, Sydney, who is a alchemist. Alchemist are people who brew chemistry and medicines, who are highly intelligent, and basically clean up after vampires.
Before you have a picture in your mind of pale, blood sucking monsters who burn in the sun, let me tell you that there are 3 types of vampires, and the stereotypic one is a strigoi. There are also Moroi and Dhamphirs (btw, the word “dhamphir” is really fun to say in a posh voice)
Any way, it’s about this girl who falls in love with one of these vampires, a moroi, which is forbidden, sort of like Romeo and Julliet, and they have to be kept in secret. In this she also has to take care of a princess Moroi, where she plus some dhamphir guards are hiding as students in a small high school.
As being a girl who dreams of being an author, I would say that if there was an author I would want to write like it’d be either Cassandra Clare, John Green, Veronica Roth, Rick Riordan or Richelle Mead. Thank you, Richelle, for ruining my life with your perfection 😉

Well, I would like to recommend the movie Nemo:) I know its a kids movie, but it really states the matter and symbolises the truth and equality of love. And, also, it sends out a great vibe and message. My favourite character is Dory, because she says “just keep swimming” which is a very well known quote now! That is also my fave part since it is so fantastic and beautiful. I can relate to Dory since I can be very forgetful sometimes! My least favourite part is when the mum and eggs get eaten by the fish because its very sad 😦

I would like to recommend the book Sold. Sad story is what the sticker says on the binder of this book, although I could replace it with so many other words. True, Heartbreaking, Tragic. All of these words resemble how I felt after reading Sold. Some nights I would lay in bed talking to myself about how I feel and how I want Lakshmi act. As I think back now I know that I couldn’t control the way she acted because I have never been in her situation. This story has stamped my heart and taught me how lucky I really am. I don’t think I have ever felt this way about a book before even though I had many expectations to start with. This book to me some what resembles a parable, a very long one in fact. Sold had an extremely strong message and meaning. The message I took out of it was that every single individual on this planet has a voice and we shouldn’t be afraid to use it. In the end Lakshmi’s voice set her free. “My name is Lakshmi. I am from Nepal. I am fourteen years old. These simple 13 words that were bundled up inside of her proving her true identity, set her free. When I read this I beamed straight away. I would defiantly recommend this book to any year eight. Yes it may be sad, but it’s a reality check about how lucky I really am and one I really needed.

North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell is a wonderful and intriguing book. I recommend every single page from the first to the last. Although a harder read, written and set in the 1800’s it brings different perspectives of classes in that time. Following the beautiful and elegant Margaret Hale as she is taken away from her simple clergyman daughter’s life to the working city of Milton it takes you on a roller coaster journey. Not only does it have a complicated romance, with much scorn, disdain, passion and general confusion but the main character also deals with the social justice issues of the time. Mingled with laughter and tears, I think any avid reader will love it just as much as I did. This book enriches your knowledge of the 1800’s, but also pulls you into the story. It was an excellent book and I recommend it to anyone who likes reading different types of books. I would put this book at about 13+, but it really depends on whether you can understand the more old fashioned language.

I highly recommend the book And ‘Then There Were None’ by renowned murder mystery author Agatha Christie. It’s a nerve-jingling book which keeps you on edge long after you have finished reading. Described as a “Detective story without a detective” it is situated on a lonely island said to have been bought by a millionaire. A group of ten are invited by an unknown host to the island but the host doesn’t show up. Then, one by one accidents, unfortunate mistakes and murders slowly start killing them off. Is it the unknown host, another person on the island or…. one of them? The book, while reading and afterwards, leaves you jumping at every creak and trusting nobody. Throughout you’ll have 101 hypothesis and none of them will be right. I adored this book even though I was scared out of my wits. Just one warning that I think everyone should abide by is DO NOT READ THIS BOOK AT NIGHT!
Definitely for over 12’s, but in the end it depends on how brave you are……..

Invincible Summer by Hannah Moskowitz
Invincible summer is a story of the McGill family, told in the point of view of Chase McGill. Over the course of 4 summers, Chase and his other family members change so much and the family often face a lot of conflict. Chase has an older brother called Noah, a younger teenage sister called Claudia and a younger brother called Gideon who is deaf. Chase wants everything within his family to be perfect, but the more you read this story, the more you understand that they are far from perfect. It is a story about childhood ending, family and love. The reason I loved this story is because it has humour, drama and it can be very sad at times. My favourite character was Chase, because he cares about his family and just wants everybody, including himself, to be happy forever. There is a really sad part in the end of this story which I don’t want to give away and although I didn’t really like this part happening, it still gave the story a great dramatic event. I recommend this book to teenage girls and I already have recommended it to one of my friends who read it and loved it. I give it an 8/10.

Liar by Justine Larbalestier
When I began reading this book I was already searching for answers. Although I found the story line to be quite strange at times, I did enjoy the book because it was really mysterious and you never knew when the narrator was telling the truth or not. The narrator of this story is Micah Wilkins, who is a compulsive liar and no matter how many times she swears she is telling the truth, you can never be too sure. She is 17 years old living in New York with her parents and the beginning of the novel explains that her boyfriend Zachary has been found dead, after being missing for a long period of time. She promises to tell the whole truth at the beginning of the story, but as the story unfolds we find out all the things she has been lying about, and what parts are true. My least favourite part of the book is something I can’t say without giving the story away, but I do recommend it to somebody who loves a mystery. You’ll be seeking answers the whole time you are reading it, and it was really difficult to put it down. I recommend it to ages 14+. I really enjoyed this book.

It was an emotional roller coaster and at the mention of it I just melt – you feel soooo much in the reading of this book and I salute my hat to john green in his successful studies of how much the heart can feel and take in so short of a amount of time.

I really enjoyed this book, it was a great page turner! I really loved it because it had a lot of action as well as a bit of romance. Poison study is the 1st book out of a series of three. The main character is Yelena Zaltana and then Valek follows.

Yelena chooses to be the commanders food taster, with Valek as her teacher for poisons. She first has to have a test which she passes and from there her adventure begins.
My favourite part of the book would have to be the end because all of the little pieces that you have been trying to put together along the way finally fit in. It is as if you have just completed a 100 piece puzzle (yay!). I won’t tell you what happens at the end because I will spoil it. I’m just going to tell you that you will probably like it.

I recommend the best movie in the world ‘About time.’ It is about Tim Lake, a young man from Cornwall, England. He grows up in a beach house with his father, his mother, his uncle, and his free-spirited sister, Kit Kat. At the age of 21, Tim is told by his father that the men of his family have a special gift: the ability to travel in time. After his father discourages Tim to use his gift to acquire money or fame, he decides that he will use it to improve his love life. In doing so Tim is able to fix his mistakes by traveling back in time. I loved everything about this movie because it was so cleverly made. It is full of romance, adventure and action, and I would definitely recommend it to those aged 12+. I absolutely adored this movie and could watch it over and over again. 🙂

I recommend one of the saddest and heartwarming movies ‘World War Z.’ The movie is about Gerry Lane, his wife Karin and their two daughters, who live in Philadelphia when the city is attacked by zombies. Everyone bitten by a zombie quickly becomes one as well. As chaos spreads, the Lanes flee to Newark, New Jersey and take refuge in the apartment of a couple and their young son, Tommy. This movie touched my heart and I cried several times while watching it. It is a story about hope and survival through romance, adventure and action. I would recommend it to anyone aged 15+ as it could be scary for some viewers. But it was truly an amazing story that I will never forget. You will love it 🙂

I definitely would recommend the TV series ‘Teen Wolf,’ as it is a gripping tale about werewolves, and other make believe animals. It’s about Scott McCall a high school student and social outcast who is bitten by a werewolf while looking for a dead girl in the woods. Scott attempts to maintain a normal life, keeping the fact of his being a werewolf secret from everyone, with the exception of his best friend “Stiles” Stilinski, who helps him through the changes in his life and body, and another mysterious werewolf, Derek Hale. It is a trilling tale that puts you on the edge of your seat at the end of every episode. The teen drama is full of horror, Comedy-drama, Supernatural, Action and Romance, I would definitely rate it 10/10, because I absolutely love it, and season 4 is coming out in July 2015. It is truly a fantastic show that I recommend for everyone.

I recommend the book Divergent by Veronica Roth. I really liked this book because it is all about the future and it is conveys the message that not everyone has to fit into a certain group to be able to survive. My favourite part of this book was when Tris plucked up enough courage to jump off the train because it showed that she wasn’t afraid of anything. My favourite character was Tris because she overcame any problem she was faced with and believed that with hard work and dedication, she could do anything. I can relate to Tris in this book because she is a person that doesn’t want to be classed in a certain group and she fights for what she believes in. I can also relate to Tris because she believes in doing what is right and tries to follow by that throughout all her actions in life. I think others would like this book because it is all about following your heart and believing in yourself even in times of danger. I think mostly teenagers would like to read this book because it appeals to their age group the most and is targeted towards this group.

I recently saw The Lego Movie, and although it looks like a kids movie, it’s really enjoyable and my whole family liked it. It tells the tale of a man who goes on a special journey to be The Special. It has great animation, as it is all made from actual Lego bricks, and there is never a time when you think that the animation is bad. The movie flows seamlessly, and I personally never had a boring moment. My favourite character was Dumbledore, and while he only had a short time on the screen, I enjoyed trying to pick him out of a crowd with his purple robes. There are many times in this film that make you laugh, and I would watch it again in a heartbeat. I really enjoyed the song ‘Everything Is Awesome’ and currently enjoy singing it over and over again while my family suffer – it’s a really happy (and repetitive) song. I think that absolutely everyone should watch this, from kids, to teenagers, to adults, to the elderly – EVERYONE! I rate this movie 10/10 and recommend it for ALL ages 🙂

12 Years A Slave is most definitely a confronting film about the times when African Americans were slaves. It tells the tale of a man who was once free, who is put into slavery against his will for 12 years and the things he has to go through. This film is very informative about how they were treated during this time, but it isn’t a film for people who can’t stomach it. The acting for this film is amazing and has won Oscars. My favourite character was played by Benedict Cumberbatch, because it seemed to me that even though the main character, Solomon, was going through so many hardships, Ford was the nicest white person to him, he listened to his ideas and even gave him a present, which was an amazing thing to do for a coloured person in those days. He even saved his life. There were some really disgusting characters in this film and I hated them with a passion. The saddest thing about this film is that it’s based on a true story and I feel truly sorry for the people that went through this. I rate this film a 10/10 as it is a really good film, but only for those 15 and above as it is really confronting as well.

I have recently seen August: Osage County, and I think it’s a brilliant movie. The plot is a little confronting, but the acting is simply brilliant and enjoyable to watch. It tells the story of a family who go through many things together in a short space of time, that changes how they interact with each other. There are many revelations and discoveries during the film and they change the characters by the end of the film. This film is almost heartbreakingly tragic is some senses as they discover new things, and I feel so sorry for them at times. My favourite character was Little Charles, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, because he was so adorably innocent and young. He played him brilliantly, and whilst all around him his family was going crazy, he was calm and almost unaware. Even though everyone in the family went through hard times during the film, they all go on with their lives and survive. I enjoyed this film even though it was a little dark, and I rate it 8.5/10. I recommend it to everyone 15 and above and I think that most people should watch it as it is very interesting.

Even though there is a page on the first Hobbit film, there isn’t one for the second film ‘The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug’. In my opinion, this film is better than the first, and I really enjoyed it. It features all these new characters and characters that weren’t in the first film. They continue on their journey to slay the dragon, and make it all the way to the mountain. The film has thrilling twists and turns and leaves you on the edge of your seat, with never a boring moment. The cliff hanger at the end will leave everyone, including me, wishing that the new film could come quicker. The plot is wonderful, as well as the acting. I especially loved the voice of Smaug, which was deep and scary, just as a dragon’s voice should be. Even though I am a fan of the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit, I think that everyone should see this film, as well as the first one, as well as the Lord of the Rings series, because they’re all just brilliant. My cousin went to see this film and she loved it even though she isn’t a Hobbit fan, so I think everyone will love it. I rate this film 10/10 and I seriously -seriously- think everyone should see it.

Now, what he doesn’t know is that some people, or rather, angels, are after him.

I highly recommend the movie The Spectacular Now. It is the most amazing movie you will ever see. The movie is an independent American film so it wasn’t out at the movies but that doesn’t mean that it wasn’t anything short of absolutely amazing! The film is about two seniors in High School who are completely different. One a popular high school funny guy and the other a quiet keep-to-herself nerdy kind of girl. Both have never had anything to do with each other until one day they meet officially in an unusual way. The girl, Amy does the guy, Sutter a small favour. Sutter then takes on the roll of making Amy’s senior year the best it can be, which soon develops into being her boyfriend for a favour. Sutter then realises that Amy is totally amazing at that he has changed his life.
What started as an innocent favour develops into something more. The movie, taking you on a journey through the highs and lows of both people as they help each other grow up in the most extraordinary ways.

I recommend the book ‘Flipped’ by Wendelin Van Draanen. This is only short and sweet book but I still loved it to pieces. There is a movie based on this book which is also really good and sweet but it’s always best to read the book before watching the movie. The book is written in a dual narrative from which means that it is written from two different perspectives. So one chapter is spoken from one of the characters perspective and the next chapter after that will be from a different characters perspective.
The story follows the lives of two 8th Graders, Bryce and Julianna, who live opposite each other and go to school together. Julianna has had the biggest crush on Bryce ever since he moved into her street when they were seven. However Bryce is basically repulsed by Julianna, he absolutely hates her. Until one day Julianna’s father tells her something that makes her see the people she knows differently. She begins to think more into Bryce’s words and actions, and starts to see beyond his blue eyes which she is totally in love with. Bryce then starts to look at Julianna in a different way and listen to her words. He begins to find her weird ways interesting and attractive. Both of them completely flip.
I love how the author writes this book. Explaining each event from different perspectives. I thought that with a dual narrative it would be a bit repetitive but Van Draanen writes it so well and different from the perspectives that it’s not.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a short, sweet and cute story to read.

Wow. I really shouldn’t post this because it’ll make me cry and re read the series (again), which will just ruin my life all over again.
Okay, so I’m recommending Percy Jackson.
Before you scroll away, think “This is a little kid book.” WELL NO.
Sure the first book or two is kind of more of a child book, with easy to understand words. But the more you read into the series the more you will feel for the amazing character.
By the time you get to The titans curse, when the real stuff happens, when it all hits the fan, you will cry your eyes out with misery when “it” all happens. I am seriously considering going through the dictionary to find the right adjectives to describe how much YOU NEED TO READ IT!
So yeah, sit through the first few books, which are actually really funny, you get to enjoy to SASSINESS (Caps to show how sassy the characters are) and adventure of the second series. There are some bad things of course, as all books do have bad things.
I should mention that this book is about greek mythology, and it takes a while to memorise all the names of the gods, but even though there are heaps of enemies (12 titans, Gaia, Kronos who is part of the titans, monsters, minor gods, evil rivers, pits to hell, a stupid demigod called Jason, many more) the heroes outshine it all.
Oh, and if saw the movies, and are considering reading this, ERASE ALL KNOWLAGE OF THOSE MOVIES BECAUSE THEY SUCK! Okay, a bit of an exaggeration, but honestly, I need your attention. If you are considering reading Percy Jackson, which, if you have the time to sit on a computer and read this stuff, you can pick up a book, then forget the movies exist.
If you have already read these, or are in the process of reading it, hats off to you, sir. Hats off to you.

this movie is about a fantasy chocolate factory that every kid in the world wanted to own.
Willy Wonka one of the main characters, who owns the factory offers 5 kids who can find a golden ticket to come on a world first tour of the factory. There are a few versions of this movie, but i think that the original is the best. In the newer version of this movie Johnny Depp stars as the famous Willy Wonka. This movie is very mysterious and in every scene is a new excitement. The songs in this movie are great and are very catchy. There are these cute people called umpa loompa’s who are small and funny. The main characters in this movie are
little poor charlie bucket
charlie’s grandpa joe who once worked in the chocolate factory and
Willy Wonka the sweet tooth owner of the factory
i rate this movie a 10/10 is is a great movie and is one of my favourite’s

About Time
About Time is a fantastic comedy family movie that just leaves you wanting more. You can’t help but feel the character’s emotions whether it be happy or sad, in love or jealous. This movie is a bout a young man called Tim who finds out from his father that all the men in his family can time travel. He used this new found skill to find love although of course it doesn’t come without complications. He eventually finds love, starts a new family, encounters many problems along the way and watch his life change around him. I loved this movie and recommend it to viewers probably 12+. This is such an amazing film that you can’t just stop at watching it once.

Wild Child
This film is about a typical teenager. She is basically Malibu Barbie! She grew up in a wealthy family and is very spoiled. When her new stepmother comes to stay she takes it to far. That is how she got sent to Abbey Mount School; a boarding school in “cold, wet, dreary England!” But little does she realise, going to Abbey Mount Boarding School for Girls will completely change her life. I don’t want to give away too much but she is an amazing girl that meets new friends, boyfriends, mean girls, encounters new experiences and journeys, one being that her mother (who passed away when she was six) also went to Abbey Mount.

I recommend the movie Moonrise Kingdom.
This movie is a very different and quirky movie. Everything is a bit weird, even the camera view is different to other movies. Based in the Summer of 1965 the movie is about to kids, a boy and a girl aged 12 and they fall in love and make a pact and runaway together in the forest. The girl runs away from her parents and the boy, an orphan, escapes a boy scout camp. Everyone, from the girls family to the boys scout group try and hunt them down and separate them from each other. The pair come across many obstacles on their journey among other things. I really like the weirdness of this movie, it’s no your cliché, children’s adventure so I would recommend it to everyone who wants to see something a little different.

I know that movie of this book is coming out soon and everyone wants to see it but I highly recommend reading the book before you see the movie.
As soon as I read this book it immediately became my favourite book of all time.
The book is about an uncommon love story between two teenagers Hazel and Augustus. This is a romance book but its not your typical love story where everyone is happy and everyones life is perfect. The story deals with hard and serious issues that I can’t even begin to imagine what its like to feel what they are feeling. The author, John Green, writes the story so well. His writing is very sophisticated and mature. I love how he is able to capture exactly how the character is feeling and make you feel for the character and really feel quite sad or happy for them. When reading this book I felt like I knew the characters, like I had met them. My favourite character would have to be Hazel. Her personality is so different to a typical teenage girls, maybe because she has different circumstances to those of a normal teenage girl. She is nerdy and weird but cool and different at the same time. She’s brave, determined and she speaks her mind. And despite her being a book character I really believe that she is a role model. John Green reels you in in this romantic drama and you begin to fall in love with all the characters. Their different stories are inspiring. I rate this book a big fat 10/10!

This book might be the best book I have ever read! I really loved it, so much that I read it in hours. I got so drawn in. The Originals was so exciting and always had me on the edge of my seat, especially in my favourite part when Lizzie was going to investigate there mum and left her sisters that are actually clones in the house, she found out all these things, then when she got back they were gone. I was so intriguing, you just wanted to keep reading and reading. Lizzie was most definitely my favourite person in the book because even though they where clones of the Original person, they still had their own unique thoughts and mannerisms. But when one experienced high emotions they all could feel it. Lizzie was more like my self so I could relate to her feelings on some points. If there was anything I could change is for it to be longer, I just didn’t want it to end. I would recommend this book to everyone, I truely don’t think that there is a type of person who would like this because it has a bit of everything in it.

I was really intrigued by this book, you never really knew what was going to happen! It was a bit of a mystery and adventure book. I haven’t really read anything quite like it, John Green really captures the characters emotions.

My favourite character was Alaska, she was out going, funny and always looking for trouble. I was drawn to her because I’m the complete opposite. I can’t relate to any of the character’s but I don’t think that matters very much if the author writes it so well that you almost feel like them. I don’t have a least favourite because things were happening every chapter and it would draw you in. I would definitely recommend this book if you want a book that you can’t put down. A person that likes mystery and adventure would love this book so much. Also it you like a bit of twist at the end.

All of the animation was so effective and looked so good and i loved all of the songs in the movie (Those songs are so easily stuck in your head). The actual story line of the movie was also good, I was trying to guess what would happen in the end but it kept on suprising me. The movie is about the queen and her ice powers but she doesn’t know how to control them and it puts others, like her sister, in danger. I thought most of the movie was good except there were a few parts throughout the middle that i thought were kind of unnecessary and stupid and let down the movie for example the giant snow monster. But aside from this i, along with my friends and family all enjoyed it. I rate it a 7 out of 10 and recommend it for any one really but especially younger children 4-14.

‘And then everything unraveled’ is a novel by Jennifer Sturman that I borrowed from my local library and recently read. This novel is definitely intriguing after reading just the blurb. It is an entertaining book about a teenage girl and how her life changes in an instant. This novel contains a great mystery where Delia the teenage girl is searching for her lost mother and along the way she finds clues, gets tangled in all the lies, secrets and danger. Not only is this about conspiracies but also gives a fair idea of the life of an orphan, moving schools and young romance. It is and exciting book that really plays around with your emotions. It is so well written that you never want to put it down and you never get bored. The only thing that i didn’t like about the book was the ending where you expect to find everything out and get all the answers but instead it ends with, ‘to be continued!’ This irritated me so much but just made me want to read the next book. I would definitely recommend this book, probably to ages 12+ and i rate it 10/10.

Jack and Jill is one of those stupid comedy’s that is so pointless but actually makes you laugh. It is about Jack the Dad of his family just living normal life until his twin sister Jill comes to stay and everything is turned upside down. I would recommend this as a fun family movie. My favourite character is Jill because she is just so funny. My favourite part is when Jack dresses up as Jill in all of her clothes and make up and goes on Jills date for her.

I really like every episode of every season and it keeps me interested because there is something new going on every time.

‘Santa Claus 2’ is another great christmas movie part of the funny and entertaining series. Again this movie is a perfect family hit and can be watched at any time of year. It is sequential of the santa claus 1 and is better if you watch the number one first so that it makes more sense when you watch this movie. My favourite part about this movie is Santa’s search for love as he needs to find a Mrs Claus by christmas eve if he wants to stay santa. But my least favourite part is when they create a toy santa to take control at the north pole whilst scott goes back home to fix things with Charlie. I get so frustrated when the toy santa turns bad and i think it ruins the excitement of the show. I rate this movie 9/10 and it another family favourite. If your going to watch the first movie, I suggest you watch this as well and the third movie so you find out what happens in the end.

I really enjoy this movie and i watch it every year near christmas but it never gets old. I like all of the characters in the movie but my favourite would have to be Charlie the young boy. I like every part of the movie and i wouldn’t change a thing because every part plays a part in creating the movie that it is. Although i do get frustrated when Charlie’s mum and her partner don’t believe that Scott, Charlie’s dad, really is Santa. I would rate this movie 10/10. It is a wonderful classic and i would recommend it to any ages. It is a perfect family movie and i suggest if you watch this movie to watch the second and third movie in the series.

But I kept reading because it may have been slow but there still seemed to be progress in new things that were happening in each chapter. This book has a build up making you think anything but it explains everything in the end and it comes by such surprise. The book was about a group of friends, and they were best friends. But something terrible happened and it shows problems that can go wrong in friendships but also the strength and trust they have for each other. This book have romance, mystery, friendship and secrets. There were definitely parts of this book that made me jump, made me laugh or cry. Parts that i loved and other parts which made me so frustrated, but it wouldn’t be the same book with out those parts. I would recommend this book for 12-17 year olds and i rate it a 7.5/10!

I recommend the movie Julie and Julia because it is a fantastic movie that can be enjoyed by all age groups. This movie about using cooking as a way of escaping the real world is easy to watch and entertaining. I can’t relate to any of the characters other than the fact that I also love to cook as does the two main characters. The two main characters are completely different ages so that leaves many people that could relate to one of the characters. The people in the movie are so real. They go to work each day, have trouble with friends and experience lots of set backs in their lives. I don’t have a favourite person in the movie but I believe that they are all great characters. Every part of the movie was my favourite because of the humour involved. Every little bit of Julie and Julia was great and is a movie that you can watch over and over. If you enjoy cooking and like romantic movies, this is the film for you. I give this movie a 9/10.

I recommend a movie and novel called ‘Chocolat”. This used to be my favourite movie of all time but then I forgot about it. I recently watched this movie again and read the book this time. Chocolat is once again my favourite movie. Chocolat tells the story of a young mother, who arrives at Catholic French village of Lansquenet-sous-Tannes with her six-year-old daughter. Together they open La Chocolaterie Maya, a small chocolaterie. Her chocolate quickly begins to change the lives of the townspeople. My favourite thing about this book is the beautiful scenery and how the movie captures the beauty of the town. It is set at a small French village which is surrounded by stunning old maisons and chapels. This is also a very inspirational movie because even though the townspeople didn’t make them feel welcome, they continued to do what they love and try make others feel good in their company. I prefer the movie over the book because I got to actually see the scenery. I would recommend this to people aged 13+ and for those you love Europe and discovering exquisite places.

Without a doubt, Pearl Harbor is a film that touches your heart. You feel the character’s hurt, their joy and their pain. You find yourself sitting on the edge of your seat time and time again, eager to see the fate of the characters you feel so close to after only two hours of film. Throughout this movie, the bombing of Pearl Harbor is re-lived, the stories re-told and scenes seen again, this time for different generations to witness. Extraordinarily, I honestly believe that this film can be enjoyed by both males and females despite it’s graphic war scenes. When it comes time to choosing a favorite character, people will always have conflicting opinions. The two male leads in this film fight for the heart of one girl and everyone will find themselves backing one of the two men. This one just one of the many story lines within the film that leaves you wanting to know more. Pearl Harbor is without question a film that everyone must get around to watching at some point. It gives teenagers an insight into an event that most young people have little to no insight into,as well as depicts the emotional state that many of those involved in that war were in. This is such an extraordinary film that must make its way to the top of your list.

It also shows a story of love between Mabo and his wife Bonita, who meet as teenagers and spend the rest of their lives together. It is a heartwarming story, and one which all Australians should watch, as it teaches you so much about our country’s history and the battles which Indigenous Australian’s faced.

I would greatly recommend the new T.V series on Nickelodeon Sam and Cat. There have not been many episodes but I have to admit I have been engaged from the start it may be because of the actors as I have grown to love them from other shows. But this show is different in a good way. It is always interesting and there is always a challenge for both Sam and Cat making entertainment for the viewers. I would recommend this for kids wanting a good laugh or something to do in general I give this a 10/10.

The movie whale rider is definitely one of my recommendations i watched this movie earlier in the year for english and fell in love. This movie would be suitable for teenagers as it is a powerful and meaningful story, About a young girl who is treated differently because of her gender and this girl is Paikea. This movie was touching as Paikea just wanted to do what the boys were doing. But Paka got in her way as the rules were women were not meant to do these activities and he was the one to implement that rule. But the big event is at the start when her mother passes away and her Paka is not happy as Paikea was a girl this was because boys were more preferred. The inspiring part of this movie is no matter how much Paka pushes Paikea back she still stays by his side. And it just shows how much times have changed in the treatment towards women’s and girls in some countries and seeing as we go to Sacred Heart as we are all girls we should all watch it. Because we are privileged and this movie makes us realize and respect our opportunities. I would rate this a 10/10/.

I have recently recommend the movie Soul Surfer and have recently read the book and WOW this book is a must read! It is similar to soul surfer but a lot more personal as it is Written by the very own Bethany Hamilton. This book is just as inspiring as the movie the feeling is just as good to you feel as though you can really connect with Bethany. My favourite part of the book is where she goes ‘It counted it totally counted’ because it did not really to the competition but it did to her and it was touching to hear that. My favourite characters in the book would have to be Bethany as she showed all the readers anything is possible because with 1 arm she can surf and inspire people and never quit. But also one other favourite is her best friend Alanah it would of been hard seeing her friend go through such a traumatic experience but yet she stuck my her and even got her self disqualified out of a surf heat just to push Bethany’s not so nice competitor. Please ready this because I promise a memorable read this book is suitable to 12 years and up and rate this a 9.5 out of 10!

I would really recommend to you Summer Heights High, I would recommend this because it is a good laugh and all in all a good movie. My favorite character would have to be Jonah as he is not some normal high school student and says some hilarious stuff. And another favourite would have to be Jemè she is a transfer student/ new student witch I can relate to and she brings some trouble as well but I do not exactly relate to that. I recommend this series to anyone who may not be so happy as it will make you feel much better. I only would recommend it if you enjoy comedy and a laugh if not you probably will not get much out of it. My most memorable part would be wear Jonah is in the sort of learning centre for disability in learning for kids when he goes ‘I was fully in the air for about 8 seconds’ it cracked me up.

Blue crush 2 is about surfing and it is a really interesting movie because a daughter moved to Africa to go surfing where her mum did (her mum died when she was little) it has an inspirational story line to it, she ends up going on a surfing trip and went to all the places her mum did. I could watch it over and over again, it has a little message in there to and it’s about never giving up even though you have failed before it will always go better the second time you try. My favourite bit of the movie is at the end when she goes and rides a wave at the final beach, the waves are huge but it doesn’t stop her from trying. I rate this movie an 8.5/10 🙂

The songs are soooooo catchy and bet after you watch this movie those songs will be stuck in your head.This movie never gets boring.I think the Jessica Malbouy who plays Cynthia does a really good job in this role she is my favourite character and she has a great voice.

I would like to recommend the book BREATH by TIM WINTON. I am very surprised that the library has not got this book yet because it is probably my favourite of all time. Tim is a very well known highly acclaimed Australian author that writes like genius, and breath is proof of this. I was utterly captivated right from the very start as the story takes you through Bruce’s childhood, who is a paramedic who takes a flashback on his life. It takes you through his surfing adventures and school. The book is revolved heavily around the coastal lifestyle, and surf which i love to read about. It’s like a boy version of puberty blues, minus all the romance. If i could go back and change anything I would change the ending, but in a whole the book was so good, i’d recommend it to anyone over 14+ who loves surfing and the beach, puberty blues or a girl that wants a change from all the lovely dovey childish novels that clog up the library shelves. 10/10. A must have for the college library and a must read for everyone.

This book by Cathy Cassidy, I have read this book so many times and in only hours. Anya has always dreamed of coming to Britain to start a new life. Anya sits at her desk at her new school where absolutely no one understands her, she wishes for to be back where she belongs. This book is about a girl who is stuck between her dream place and place where she belonged. I absolutely adore this book because the way its written makes you feel like the character, all of the detail she goes into. I love the wording, it’s like each word has meaning and thats it all comes together. My favourite part of the book is when its christmas and something bad does happen but some really great things follow it, that is what makes this book really special. My favourite character is Anya she is so quiet but I think she would actually have a lot say if people took the time to listen or if she would talk just a bit more. She is someone special even though she keeps on getting distracted by a bad boy called Dan. I can’t relate to her at all but it almost feels I can though, this is mostly due to the way the author Cathy Cassidy writes, she it took me away to Britain where I felt like I was Anya. I could not say one bad word about this book at all, not one part was boring, I never wanted to put it down, it just kept on pulling me in. I would absolutely recommend this book to everyone and there is not a single type I think you will all end up loving it. It has a bit of everything in it, especially romance so if you don’t like romance then it might not be for you. Either way you will fall in love with it, well I know I did anyway

This book is really about adventure, Coco is the youngest of five children and even though she is thirteen she finds her older siblings are treating her like a five year old. This book was so exciting and thrilling there was so many twists and turns in the story and a lot of adventure this book was so wonderful I always wanted to know what was going to happen next, I couldn’t put the book down. My favourite part of the book is when Coco is saving horses from this mean owner and the owner takes it way too far. Coco is totally the best character she is always happy and bouncy it always makes me smile when I was reading this book. Your always like “that did not happen” it was so thrilling. No I can’t relate to her at all to be honest because she is totally different to me and so eccentric. I haven’t got any least favourites parts of the book because each part is so exciting and I was so caught up in the book. I would recommend this book to people that love horses and have an opinion on animal rights. This book is such a exciting and not-knowing-whats-going-to-happen-next situation.

Marshmallow Sky
This is the second book of the Chocolate box girls series. It is the longest book in the series so far but it is because of all the things that were going on in Sky’s life. This book was like a dream almost, Sky is a bit of a day dreamer who loves and admires her twin sister Summer so much. This book really takes you on an adventure through emotion and sees Sky always being second best to her perfect sister Summer. I absolutely loved this book it really showed a side to different people. My favourite part of the book is when she meets this boy Finch who she had always dreamed about but didn’t exist. Towards the end of the book the boy she had dreamed about for a long time turns up their house due to Finch’s Mum requiring their house to shoot a movie, they have real connection even though this at the end of the book it definitely finished things off and you end up wanting to know more so the author was smart and the movie carries on to the third book. My favourite character is the main character and that’s because I have never actually read a book where things like this have gone on. She is different and not like most of the people around her. Summer is effortlessly cool and Sky is trying to escape her sisters shadow. I could really relate it that even though I don’t have a sister I could understand it. It is the most wonderful book and there aren’t any boring parts at all. There are parts in the book where it’s like a letter and I think that maybe she could of put less of the letters in it. I would definitely recommend this book but it would have to be for a type of person who wouldn’t mind reading a long book and that goes over things a bit maybe a girl who loves reading long books with romance and dreaming. Oh, and the unexpected Finch!

It was such an exciting book and I would read it every chance I could get. It had me sitting on the edge of my seat. Once something had finally worked out for Cherry something else would happen to her and it would all change again. This book kept me wondering what would happen next and thats what I loved about this book. The best part for me is the end part, it is so beautiful, I don’t want to spoil it for you but it is so fabulous!
Cherry is my favourite character because she is a bit shy but secretly I think she is very strong inside. Cherry is brave and not afraid to face fear as you would read from the start. She does go through a lot especially feeling excluded by her step sister Honey, she is a trouble maker. Even though I can’t relate to her life, the author ha a wonderful way of explaining it as she writes, it feels like you have felt some of the emotions before or you feel what Cherries going through. I can’t say that I have a least favourite part because each chapter has something going on that is exciting, so I am never left skipping bits, or just skimming through the boring parts. I recommend it to everyone I can tell you that you will fall in love with this series and 100% read it! I am pretty sure most girls would love this book, especially girls that would like a bit of romance and hanging-on-the-edge-of-your-seat and a lot of oh my gosh moments. So I 100% recommend it.

One of the best books I have read is Summers Dream, it’s part of the Chocolate Box Girls series by Cathy Cassidy it is third book in the series. I love this book because it has such a great story line and the author really takes into consideration the age group this book will be read by. It’s not kiddish but then it’s not too full on either. My favourite part in the book is when Summer is asked to audition for the ballet academy, it’s my favourite because she is so happy and excited and the way it was written made me feel really happy for her. If you do ballet you can really relate to this story or any other sport because if you want something then you’ll do anything to achieve it. My favourite character is Summer because she s is so determined. I love that she has the drive to work so hard even though it could end up in a disaster. Every bit of the book is amazing and pulls you in, I don’t have a least favorite part and could not put the book down wanting to read onto the next chapter, it was all intriguing, I would definitely recommend this book to everyone because it takes you somewhere different and to another part of the world. The author makes you feel like your the character and it’s like your part of the family as you read the story. The people that would like this book are probably aged between 10 to 14, it has a bit of romance for girls who like that and also a bit of adventure and every day issues.

My favourite part of the movie was when Bethany competed in the surfing championship because she showed everyone no matter what disadvantages she had, she did what she loved! Bethany was my favourite character in the movie because of the way she inspired me and so much other girls. I really disliked the moment when she got her arm bitten off because it was really scary and disturbing 🙂 . I really recommend you go watch this movie no matter what type of person you are.

I recommend the movie ‘Avatar’.
When i first went into this movie, it had been hyped by movie critics and people were calling it the best movie of all time. The movie is about Jake Sully, a crippled man who is asked to become a marine and take the place of his deceased brother, the land he travels to is Pandora, and he is given an avatar, a replica of the body of the natives, the Navi. He finds himself falling in love with the world around him, and he must make the choice to stay with his fellow marines, or to follow his heart and ally with the Navi. This movie is amazing and is full of action and adventure. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, and sometimes it will make you sit there with your jaw agape. I l . oved this movie, if you have not seen it yet, go out and buy it RIGHT NOW! You will NOT be disappointed.

I recommend the movie ‘Tomb Raider’.
As someone who has played all of the Tomb Raider video games, at first i was a little worried that they would ruin the franchise with a horrible, clique movie, but i was very wrong. For all those who dont know, this movie is about adventurer Lara Croft tracking down ancient artefacts while racing against time and hunting enemies along the way. For me personally, seeing Lara’s transition from Video Game to the big screen was absolutely breathtaking. This movie is a must see for all my fellow gamers who want to follow Lara’s adventures.

Goddess by Joespine Angelini.
This book is by fa the best of all three. the only thing I could pick out as being annoying in this book is that it drags on about everyone else thinking that Orion was the Tyrant. The way it was ended was amazing. It is honestly an engrossing book. The ideas this author has put forward to tie the whole book together has been a brilliant read. I did not see daphne lye about Lucas and Helen though. that really shocked me. I think Helen was very smart as to how she dealt with the Gods. I love the way Helen began to see past memories from all those other Helen’s. I would definitely rate this book a 10000000/10!! Stunning.

Dreamless by Josephine Angelini. In this book I got the feel it was wavering into a demigod version of Twilight. If is was that it would have been 10 times better than Twilight but in the end I got over it. The book itself slows don a little bit because of the task that Helen has had to under take. The only thing I could predict in this book was that Helen was to be the tyrant. I thought of this because she could fly, her mother can’t but Lucas could. she was born of the two Houses – Atreus and Thebes. orion is becoming my least favourite character because I don’t know him the most and I don’t feel like the author has delved into him much. Therefore, he feels blank to me. i have read this book twice now – I love it but I don’t think I will get the kick out of it I did with the first one. I rate this book a 10/10.

Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini was amazing. I have read it a total of three times and are on my second time reading the sequel and last book of the series. It is a hard book to get your head around at first because of all the rules, past memories, present stuff and all that but I am definitely finding that it is becoming more interesting the more times I read the book. My interest In it is not fading. Helen is the most confusing and undecided character in the book. She just spends too much time thinking about things and not enough action. I rate this book a 10/10!!!

Bombshells, a play Joanna Murray-Smith
Bombshells is a collection of monologues from various women in our society; a mother, divorced wife, widow, singer and bride to be. The book, from the individual perspectives of these women, provides an insight into a person’s internal and external personalities and allows us to look into the minds of these women. My favourite character of all the monologues is Meryl Daven-Port. She is a stay at home mum who is constantly running around after her children and caring for her husband. Her personality and identity is determined by society’s views and by what others deem as important in life, such as appearance and wealth, and thus she is very insecure about herself and her appearance. I liked Meryl as she is a typical example of women in society, as many people’s identities are shaped by the opinions of others. The book gives us an interesting insight into a person’s inner most thoughts and their wants and desires in life, and is a very interesting read! I would give bombshells an 8/10!

I recommend the movie ‘Orphan’.
If you are into horror movies, then you’re in for a treat with THIS film. This movie is about a mother and her family who decide to adopt a child after she gives birth to a stillborn. The child they adopt is 9 year old Esther, and she seems like a sweet and innocent girl, that is until she starts to let her true colours show. The family begin to notice her crazy, psychotic outbursts and they become worried that the sweet little girl is not all that she seems. It should be recognised that this movie IS horror, so it is indeed VERY gory, VERY violent and VERY dark, so DO NOT go into this movie unprepared! But, if you ARE a fan of horror, this one is definitely for you.

I highly recommend the book ‘A Dogs Life’ by Ann M. Martin
I first read this book a while ago, recently i read through it again and i was as hooked then as i was when i first read it. Although this book is not very well known to many people, i found this book to be one of the most interesting books i have ever read. And the title doesn’t lie, it is about the life of a dog. Granted, it doesn’t sound or look very interesting and first glance, but when you begin to read, you start to become involved in the unique way of telling the story through the dogs eyes. But don’t let this book be mistaken from a friendly, happy-go-lucky kind of book, because it is FAR from that. This book deals with themes such as death, torture, abuse, violence and many other things surrounding that category, and it is ALL told through the dogs perspective. So if you happen to see this book in the library or the book store, PLEASE read it, it is such a unique story and it doesn’t get the attention that it deserves. I loved this book so much, its an easy 10/10 from me.

I recently finished reading this book and i have to say, it is a very interesting and unique story.

It deals with some dark themes, such as abuse, so i think its safe to say that you should prepare to be shocked before you go into reading this. I loved this book, its an 8/10 from me!

I would like to recommend the book “Safe Haven.” I think that this book is one of the best books that I have read in my entire life. It is just such a thrilling book, and it keeps you hooked until the very last page. The main characters are Katie (Erin), Alex, Kevin and Alex’s two children Josh and Kristien. The story line is based on Erin who is married to an abusive husband Kevin who one minute loves her and the next minute causes her serious pain by kicking and punching her. Erin is not allowed outside of the house and Kevin comes home and checks on her randomly at least once an hour. This is the story of Erin’s escape to the small town of Southport and experience of falling in love with the man of her dreams, Alex. However Kevin is a detective and she knows that he will find her, it is only a matter of time until they meet up. This is a great story line and just keeps you entertained with just so many emotions that flow through the various sections of the book. I would encourage people above 12+ to read this book, because it discusses very mature topics and themes. I would give this book a 10/10!

I would definitely recommend an old film called ‘Honey I shrunk the kids.’ This movie is full of comedy for the whole family to enjoy. ‘Honey I shrunk the kids’ is the story of an inventor who accidentally shrinks his kids, and the neighbour’s kids with his electromagnetic shrink ray invention. My favourite part of the film would have to be when the father realises he may have shrunk the kids next door, because his facial expressions are so funny. I loved this movie because the families don’t exactly get along, and in some parts of the movie I couldn’t stop laughing. This is just one of those movies for the whole family to enjoy no matter what age, and I guarantee if you love comedy, adventure and action packed films you will love this movie.

I would definitely recommend the movie ‘Dear John’ based on the book written by Nicholas Sparks. This was an unforgettable movie that brought me to tears, it is an inspiring tale of an incredible bond between John and Savannah. The story is about John who is listed in the army, and meets Savannah during his time off. But when John goes to war it is hard for them to communicate with each other, so they would write letters to each other. However when John feels it is his duty to re-enlist, everything changes. Savannah and John are separated for a long time, and soon enough John finds that Savannah has fallen in love with someone else. This movie was truly fantastic and is for ages 12+. I would rate it nine out of ten. If you love adventure, romance and action you will definitely love this movie. 😀

Looking for Alibrandi is an interesting novel. At first the blurb did not interest me nor did it seem like the type of book I would read if I were to go to a book store and choose one to buy. But the story line was not as soppy as I thought. Melina Marchetta’s book took at least a third of the book to actually get into some action and was not just an introductory. But once it started to engage me it was a book that I could not forget about. The novel is very different to what I have ever read before. I am not really into the ‘finding yourself’ kind of books but this book has swayed my point of view. I rate this book a 7/10.

If you like singing then you will especially like this movie because it is about Acapella singers competing in tournaments to become number 1. The main characters name is Jessie and she is starting off at a new college, that she doesn’t even want to be at because she wants to become a DJ, but has a lot of fun and gets into the girls acappella group. She then competes with them but has some controversy with the head singer for changing the songs lyrics because she wants to mix it up a bit because they sing the same song again and again. My favourite character is the other head singer because she was really sweet and wanted Jessie to come and sing with them, also because my favourite part was when she heard Jessie singing in the shower next to her and came in fully naked and proud of it and said to Jessie I am not leaving until you sing. Next the man who was having a shower with her came in and says “you have a lovely voice”. It was so funny! I rate this movie a 9/10 and I think would be suitable for 10+

She’s the man
The movie She’s the man is one of my favourite movies!
This movie is about Viola who is a crazy soccer girl who pretends to be Justin her brother just to play soccer, as the girls soccer team was cut at a college. Through doing this she fells herself falling for her room-mate Duke who likes the girl Olivia that likes Justin (Viola). This crazy love triangle makes this movie so funny. My favourite character is Unus which is this crazy girl at the college that isn’t the prettiest girl but really funny and pretty much a lunatic. My favourite part of the movie is when the principle is suspicious with this other man at the college and they go onto the soccer field at the final and says “This boy is not who he says he is, he is actually his sister Viola” as a result of this he pulls his pants down! This movie is great and you will love it! If you like to laugh then watch this movie, this is a PG movie but people 8+ I think would enjoy this movie. I rate this movie 10/10!

This movie is about the magic gardens and a crazy man that is obsessed with little people living in his woods this movie is cartoon. I thought this movie was rather well done I think it would have been even better in 3D but some people don’t like the glasses. This movie might be a bit scary for under 6 year olds because there are some badies in it that could possibly be scary for little children. My favourite character was the queen because she was so elegant and beautiful and cared for every living thing and was a role-model to young girls to become queen. I liked the part in the movie when the queen was choosing a pod to become the next queen of her lovely garden it was jus really magical. The type of person who would like this movie would be someone who loves nature and its wonders also if you don’t mind cartoon movies. And would be suitable for children 6 until an adult (there was an adult in the cinema who seemed to enjoy it!
I rate this movie 7/10 it was rather fantastic!

Despicable me 2-
This is a funny family movie for all ages.
This movie is a follow up from Despicable me 1 and is funnier! It is about Gru now loving his adopted children and not just using them for business, a lady comes from the the anti villain league in search of Gru because they know he was a villan before this and he knows how they think and plot. My favourite part was at the start of the movie at the birthday party of Agnus it was so funny because the fairy for the party didn’t come so Gru had to dress up as a fairy and entertain the little girls, it was beautiful because Agnus was so excited and afterwards she went up and said “I know it’s you Gru” in her sweet voice. Some teenage girls can relate with Margo the teenager because she was on her phone talking to someone and Gru was very concerned if it was a boy in the end she has a boyfriend and it is very funny was the controversy with Gru and him trying to separate them which is unsuccessful. My favourite character was Agnus because she was so cute, sweet and innocent she was so nice to everyone and very funny. If you are a bit of a kid even if your older you will like this movie and it is a real young family movie. I rate this movie 8/10 and for 3+

I like all of the episodes because these little girls are AMAZING!

The episodes have a bit of drama and this usually doesn’t make coach Abbey the owner of the Abbey Lee dance studio very happy. My favourite Mother is Holly because she is not crazy like the rest of them she is not completely obsessed with dance because she is a doctor and cares about all of her family. And my favourite little girl is Paige and Chloe, these girls are very talented and are really cute they are really pretty and always look good in their costumes! I would rate this series 9/10 because you can’t stop watching it and I would say that 11+ could watch this just because of the coarse language.

This is the second book from the series “impact zone” and also probably my favourite book out of the 3 because within the events that happen, you just cannot put the book down. My favourite part is when Kai finds some self-courage to enter the local surf competition only just so a new guy Spazzy will be able to surf in it. I can relate to this scene because I have put myself out of my comfort zone just for a friends sake. If I could change something I would probably change the out come of the competition because it lets the book down a bit. Although I still thoroughly enjoyed the book and I would recommend it to one who enjoys reading something with a detailed story line of a teenage boy.

This book relates to the way I live but my dream is to live right on the beach away from the busy city. Each time I go to the beach (quite luckily about 3 times a week), I still enjoy the simple little things that one that lives in the city cannot. Each time you ride a wave you get a feeling of freedom as you roll along with it. My favourite part of this book is when Kai surfs the best break screamers where you can get tubed regularly but it’s patrolled by locals who keep it to themselves. They will only let Kai into the Group if he competes against one of them but the thing Kai hates about surfing is competing. He’s a free surfer at heart but if he doesn’t take the challenge, he will loose what he lives for. The waves. I felt that I really connected to this part of the book because I, personally, hate, and I mean hate! Competing in almost everything!!

I reccomend this to people aged 14+ who are into mystery and so far I give it a 9/10.

A man is telling a women a story of two people who fell in love but In the end the man is the boy in the story telling his wife who has lost her memory.

House Rules is another thrilling novel by Jodi Picoult. It is about Jacob Hunt, a teenage boy with Asperger’s syndrome who is obsessed with forensic analysis. When his tutor is mysteriously murdered, everyone assumes it is Jacob, but was it really him? The novel is full of twists and turns, and once you start it, you can’t put it down until you have finished it. All of Jodi Picoult’s books are incredibly addictive to read, and this is no exception. If you are interested in murder mysteries and like suspense, this is definitely a book for you. One of my favourite things about this book is the fact that Jodi PIcoult writes it from different people’s perspectives. As a result, you can really see how everything fits together, and what all the different characters are thinking and feeling. As the front cover says, “Can a guilty face betray an innocent heart?” I hope that everyone thoroughly enjoys this book, just as much as I have!

I recommend the book City of The Beast, by Isabel Allende. This book is so perfectly written, I fell in love with it straight away! The plot although at times confusing, was pure, with the right amount of romance, mystery, thriller and fantasy. This story is one of my absolute favourites, and one that is definitely a page turner. Alex is a beautifully written character with the realism of an ordinary human, not a mega rich, extra good looking and top of the class stereotypical American boy, instead he is portrayed as a quiet, musical, intelligent and ordinary looking fifteen year old with normal flaws. City of The Beast is a must read, as not only can it make you laugh, it makes you cry. I am surrounded by a puddle of tears every time I read the ending! I seriously loved this book and still do, and can’t get enough! 10/10 for Isabel Allende and her masterpiece!

Cyber Bully – movie
This movie takes a realistic and thoughtful approach to the issue of online bullying as seen through the eyes of a teen victim. This movie is based on a social website much alike Facebook so it connects to what teenagers these days are coping with online. There is an emotional side to this movie as it touches on sensitive issues such as homophobia and suicide. Looking on the positive side of things, this movie sends out positive messages about standing up to peer pressure, tolerance, and turning the tables on adversity, but the movie’s serious tone makes it best for teens and up.

Napoleon Dynamite is hilarious! The acting is incredible and the characters are brilliantly portrayed! I adore this film, which is absolutely hilarious, and I’m fairly sure I was laughing every two seconds!! Napoleon is a nerdy, boring and truth be told, not at all good looking character, which makes him such a target to the schools popular group. He then meets the new Mexican teenage boy, Pedro, and shows him to his locker. From that point on the pair becomes friends, and face one challenge; to help Pedro win class president over the most popular girl in school, Summer. What makes this film for me is Kip, the words that come out of his mouth, matched with his voice, leaves me no choice but to laugh abnormally loud!

At times it is a little on the gory and gruesome side, but to me that doesn’t matter, its the plots and mysteries that make this show a hit! Sherlock and John make a great pair, with one aset complimenting the others, and in the end, pushes the other to be better, which creates a comedy aspect. This has it all – seriously. Anything from action, thriller, comedy, romance and mystery is covered sensationally! 10/10 for Sherlock Holmes!

I recommend Despicable Me 1 and 2. These movies are great for families and anyone who wants a laugh, especially when they are feeling down. The pair of them are brilliant for making people feel better and less stressed, and in all honesty, feel like a kid again without a care in the world – except what their mum will say when they see all the mud on their clothes. Gru thinks of himself as an intimidating, scary and evil villan. The only thing going for him there are his looks, and by the second film, he is about as evil as a unicorn. Margo, Edith and Agnes have managed to tame the beast with their love and pressure for Gru to live up to their expectations to be a father. I loved these movies, and definitely made me chuckle, cringe, wince and even criticise, but nevertheless, I am 100% that this is a family must have, with Despicable Me rated 9.5/10 and Despicable Me 2 a 9/10. I ADORED the fact that at the end of DM2, Gru had a wife and the girls had a mum, it was an ending which brought a smile to my face and one that I will appreciate. So do yourself a favour, pop into the DVD rentals shop, get the first one, then go to the movies and see the second one!!

I recommend the movie ‘What a Girl Wants’. It is a really great movie about an American teenager who learns that her father is a wealthy British politician running for office. Although she is eager to find him, she realizes it could cause a scandal and cost him the election. My favourite character would be Daphne Reynolds as she is who she is and not what someone else wants her to be. She is also really nice and wants to know her father. I also like the character Ian Wallace as he is cute and is Daphne’s boyfriend. He is always looking out for Daphne and helping her stay true to herself. The parts I enjoyed in the movie would be when Daphne makes her mistakes and the cute moments between herself and her father. My favourite part of the movie would have to be the end as Daphne finally gets her father daughter dance, sees her boyfriend and moves to London where their family is whole again. This is a chic flick so it might be suited to a sleepover with the girls or someone that is looking for something to enjoy. I rate this movie a 9.5 out of 10 🙂

I would recommend the TV show ‘Once Upon a Time’ to anyone that likes fairytales and magic. Once Upon a Time is a modern take on fairytales where modern day life and fairy tales collide. So far there have been two seasons produced. In the first season it is all about the curse the evil queen has cast upon their magical world which takes them to a place with no magic and no one remembers their real identities. In season 2 its about the characters lives after the curse has been broken and has many twists and turns. I have really enjoyed this TV series and always watch it on a Thursday night. My favourite characters in Once Upon a Time are Emma Swan and Henry. Emma Swan is Snow Whites and Prince Charming’s daughter. I really like her Character as their is a lot to her past as she grew up with no family and has a special purpose in her life. Henry is also another favourite character as he is very inspirational and seeks out the good in every person. He is all about goodness and makes Emma believe. Henry is also the son of Emma. I would rate this TV series a 10 out of 10 and recommend everyone to have a go at it as their might be something you enjoy.

I like this movie because it shows both perspectives of the 2 people. My favourite scene is at the end when the boy plants the tree in the girls backyard its really cute even i got the little girly giggles when it happened . I’d have to say this would be my fav movie i give it a 10/10 any ages can watch i watched it with my whole family. I think this movie is funny, romantic and a movie for the whole family. The only bad part about it is its doent g for long enough i want to find out what happened to them in the end when the went out . But it is still really really good movie! !!!!!

I love the tv show lol i really liked it because it is really fun and interesting and is filmed in australia. My favourite character is sammy and kat because everyone thinks there not good enough but they show that they are good enough in the end. I think that 10 – 14 would find it interesting and not boring. I have way to many fav eps. they have really good dances and i like how they show lots of different types of dance. there is soon a season 3 coming out but im a bit sad because sammy died in one of the last eps. I would have to rate this tv series a 7/10 it is really good but i think they could make it a bit more interesting. It’s on channel ABC3 and you can watch it online http://www.abc.net.au/abc3/watchnow/shows/abc3/.

The Great Gatsby- movie
I recently saw this movie and I absolutely loved it! It took a little time for me to get into it, but once everything started happening it was hard to take my eyes off the screen. My favourite character was Gatsby. I am a huge fan of Leonardo DiCaprio and he always does such an amazing job, no matter what character he is playing. Gatsby was a really mysterious, funny sort of character and without him there would obviously be no movie. My favourite scene was when Gatsby and Daisy are both reunited at Nicks house. The whole scene was quite funny and quirky and it was good that the director was able to put some humour into the film. My least favourite part was the end, but I’m not going to spoil it. I recommend this book to people aged 15+. If you enjoyed Mouline Rouge then you will enjoy this because it had the same sort of feel to it and the soundtrack was amazing!

I recommend reading Chinese Cinderella. It is very well written and is made to put the reader in her shoes. The story of a poor, upset child that is being forced to live a very hard life. She never gives up hope in anything that she believes in. As the young girl talked about in the book is actually the author of the book, it would have been pretty emotional to write especially going back over all those tough times she had been through. i loved this story because it has involved such detail and I personally love it when you are made to feel the narrators feelings, whether it is happiness, love or depression. Every new chapter has its own little bit to tell and the storyline of the entire thing was extremely well written and loved by lots. I would love to see a movie made out of this book although I love to imagine the way i think it should be pictured. I recommend this book to people who can understand tough situations and love a twist.

Boy in striped Pyjama’s is a stunning and heart moving book about two young boys who find themselves without friends in the middle of WWII and unable to recognise or know of their differences become friends and go on a sad adventure that turns out to be nothing like planned.
I think that the author – John Boyne – wrote this book extremely well because his wrote it as a fable with the innocence of children in a tie of great destruction and deception. I my view the book was very abrupt and short, if it had had any other story line I would not have liked the book but the situation and setting this story is in i can cope with and understand.
My favourite character would have to be bruno because he is so oblivious to the importance of his family and what he is involved in nut he makes some crazy suggestions. He is very smart, curious and adventurous too. Overall, this is an amazing which I would recommend this book to anyone who wanted to learn about WWII and the conditions that some people lived in

I recommend the book The Great Gatsby written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I really liked this book because it had a lot of twists and turns and it kept me intrigued with every turn of the page. My favourite part of this book was when Nick met Gatsby himself and Gatsby recognised Nick from their same division in the war. My favourite character definitely had to be Gatsby because he was just so intriguing and had such a unique personalty. If I could change one thing, it would be the ending. I know that if it was changed, the book wouldn’t be as good as it is and it would ruin the storyline, but it was just so heart wrenching. I was astounded and couldn’t believe what had happened. I recommend this book to people that love a book that keeps them guessing and they enjoy reading about the rich and famous. I am so looking forward to the movie coming out, I cant wait to see how the characters are portrayed!

The book Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi is a fantastic book and I recommend it for everyone to read. I like this book because I love the tale of Pinocchio and I love reading about the different adventures Pinocchio goes on. I didn’t have a favourite part of this book because I liked every part of it equally. Pinocchio is a very mischievous boy/puppet and he gets into a lot of trouble, it was fun reading about how he got out of every bad situation. My favourite character was Geppetto. He was my favourite because he was a very kind old man that loved Pinocchio with all of his heart. I felt a little sorry for him because he kept having to clean up after Pinocchio and searching for him basically every day. I recommend this book for people of all ages to read because it brings back the child in everyone and I think that it is a very fun loving book that is great to read!

Plus it has my favourite actor Logan Lerman as one of the main cast. My favourite part of this movie was when Charlie, Sam and Patrick are driving through the tunnel and all of the lights look so beautiful and surreal. My favourite character was Charile not only because he was played by Logan, but because he started off being a really shy boy and by the end of the film, he came out of his shell and really started living. My least favourite part of this movie is when Sam and Patrick go off to college. It is just so sad to see the three friends getting split up for the first time.

My favourite character is Despereaux because even though he is a mouse, he has a big heart and he has a longing for adventure. I can relate to Despereaux because he is the smallest of his family and I am the youngest of mine. Just like him, I also love an adventure. My least favourite part of this book is when Miggery Sow gets sucked in by the Rat and does everything he tells her to do, which is almost fatal to everyone. I recommend this books to others because it is not like any other book I have ever read. It is about a mouse who goes on an adventure to try and help the kingdom.

Marie Lu’s second book to the Legend series, ‘Prodigy’ is countless stars out of five! It has plot twists that are never expected, link or hinted in Legend or in this book. Each page brings a new piece to an astonishing puzzle that you never saw coming. June in this book has a lot more emotional struggles and Day is having to deal with being a part from June and not having any control over her or protective ability over her. Anden is a surprising personality of a character as I truly did not expect him to be so lenient towards June. June is smart at using her resources since she is so cut off from her patriot superiors and Day. In this book we see Day portrayed in a different Way from Legend – we see a more emotional side of him. I only wish that Champion could come out sooner so that I could read it! It is a brilliant series and I can’t wait to see how it ends!

‘Legend’ by Marie Lu is a Legend of a book and an amazing book that will force you to turn the page and keep reading. It has a similar story line to the Hunger games so anyone who liked the Hunger games will love this book. I could argue that it is actually better than the Hunger games.
This book is about a girl called June and a boy named Day. They live in two contrasting worlds but have much in common. Day is a criminal and becomes a favourite character of mine as he changes his views and opinions on different topics depending on the people he is with and he does it so convincingly. Day isn’t much to the eye, he is deceiving, frequently underestimated and uses this trait well in the streets. June is a rich girl cross rebel that is mature mentally for her age and picks up the tiniest details in any situation, no matter the circumstances. But my favourite would have to be John, he is very strong and is a good actor because he keep’s Day’s secret and puts his family first. Marie LU has written a fabulous and engaging book that is joy to read. It is a page turner and I just want to read more and I will definitely be reading her second and third book of this series.

I recommend the book ‘Epic Fail’ by Claire Lazebnik. It’s all about these 2 girls who are sisters and they just moved to L.A and are only enrolled in the Private School because the mother is the principle. The oldest sister meets a guy and because the 2 sisters are so close the youngest one hangs out with them, but the guy who has a friend. Turns out they are both sons of famous people. I really like this book because it shows how challenging relationships can be, also including friendships. My favourite character would have to be Elise (younger sister) because she doesn’t care about other people’s opinions about her and she stands up for what she thinks/feels is right. I was shocked at the end of this book due to the fact that it came as a surprise to me so it is really worth reading. It took me 2 days to read this because it is such a good book. This book is a most definite 10/10 and I hope people also read it 🙂

I recommend ‘The Secret Life of Bees’ written by Sue Monk Kidd. This book I thought was an outstanding read, I enjoyed it so much. It’s about a girl named Lily Owens who embarks on an adventure to truly find the mystery behind her mother’s story, dreading what the truth may hold. Lily must face many challengers in her lifetime, such as her father Terrence Ray, whom she calls T. Ray. T. Ray is very abusive and awful to Lily, but it’s the only family she’s got in South Carolina, except for her one and only friend Rosaleen. Lily embarks on a journey, and on this journey Lily will understand the world in more depth, and discover the mystery surrounding her mother. Lily’s story is truly about the remarkable trail of friendship, and where she will learn the true feeling of love, hope and gain a real family, one she can trust. This book was beautiful and I could read it over and over again. My favourite character would have to be Rosaleen because she has so much character and life, she is funny and the best friend Lily could ever have. I rate this book 9 out of 10 and 5/5 stars! It was truly an amazing tale, and if you love the true story of mystery and romance this book is definitely for you.

Iron Man 3 – In Cinemas NOW!
After watching Iron Man 1 and 2, I just knew I had to see Iron Man 3! Iron Man 3 is definitely the best one out of all of the Iron Man movies. It is mixed with comedy, lots of action and a bit of romance. I believe that this movie was definitely a great way to end the Iron Man series because it shows just how much one person can achieve by putting his mind to it!
My favourite characters would have to be Tony, Pepper, James Rhodes and Happy and this is because they are always there for one another and are always they to help and support each other. I also like the little kid Harley and this is because he is able to help Tony in any way that he could, even though he is just a child.
My favourite part of the movie would have to be the final ‘battle’ and this is because Iron Man, with the help of his friends, is able to try and save everyone that is put in danger and he he tries to put evil to rest!
I don’t believe I have a least favourite part of the movie and this is because I loved it! I definitely would not change anything because it is the type of movie that so many people have had the pleasure to watch it, and to enjoy it!
I can’t really relate to the characters in this movie because of the storyline, but I was able to feel excited for the good parts, and empathy for the sad ones.
I would recommend this movie to anyone who has seen Iron Man 1 and 2 already, but really, anyone over the age of 12 and this is because it is a little ‘darker’ than the other ones. I would rate this movie a 10/10 and this is because it is my favourite Iron Man movie, but also because there was not one part of the movie that I didn’t like!
I really enjoyed this movie and I can not wait until it comes out on DVD!

After watching Iron Man 1, I knew I had to watch number 2! I really enjoyed this movie and I believe that Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow plays their parts so well!
I really enjoyed the part when Tony Stark and James Rhodes team up to fight evil together because it shows how best friends will always be there for one another.
My favourite character would have to be Tony Stark aka Iron Man and this is because he does what ever he can to save the innocent people in his town and he does his best to conquer evil. Robert Downey Jr. places his part so well because he keeps that audience entertained and makes them want to keep on watching!
I definitely can not relate to Tony in this movie because he is a super hero and this movie is fictional, but I really enjoyed watching it and being able to witness such a great movie.
I would recommend this movie to anyone above the age of 11 because some scenes could scare younger audiences, but anyone above this age would love it! I would also recommend this movie to anyone who has seen the first Iron Man and this is because it would probably be a better idea to watch the first one before this second movie.
I would rate this movie a 10/10 because I absolutely enjoyed every minute of it!
I loved this movie and I will definitely watch it again! 🙂

The Queen of new beginnings By Erica James
With this book, I was sucked into the story of Alice Shoemaker as she opened herself to tell her life’s story to foundering t.v. show writer Clayton Miller. Alice’s story itself was heart-warming. I couldn’t help but hate the antagonists and celebrate a bit for Alice as she overcame adversity in both the past and present. Clayton’s emotional switches were interesting although they were quite believable , and while the two main characters had the expected confrontation and fight , I enjoyed the small twists and Clayton’s abrupt declarations to Alice that solved one of the many conflicts in her life.
In some ways this book is predictable, in other ways unexpected. The past and present entwine together nicely as Alice and Clayton get to know each other. There are a few somewhat amplified minor characters in the book, but that’s not a problem; I found myself very much enjoying the story line, wondering what was coming next
In this Book i could not really relate to any one.

Spotting For Nellie – By Pamela Lowell
I came across this book on the SHC ebook website and I really enjoyed it. This book is about two gymnast sisters who find themselves in an accident that will change both their lives forever. Although each of the girls are affected in different ways, both Claire and Nellie have to learn to move on from the hardship they face by forgiving and supporting one another, at a time when they are both rather vulnerable. I think this book demonstrates the need for support from friends and families in times of adversity and even if you haven’t faced this type of adversity before, it is easy to relate to Claire’s feelings of jealousy and guilt for what happened to her sister. I would rate this book an 8/10 and I would recommend this for anyone aged 12+ because it is a truly inspiring story of love and support.

I recommend the book the power of six, it is the sequel to I am number four and I think it is even better than I am number four. It is amazing because it shows how Six, Sam and John go on a quest to find the others to unite against the Mogadorians. My favourite part of the book is when Marina finds out about Ella’s age changing ability. I think my favourite character is Marina because of her awesome legacy to heal things and the fact that she tries to develop her legacies even though her Cepan won’t help her. I don’t have a least favourite part of this book because I enjoyed it so much I wouldn’t change a thing about this book. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who liked the book or movie I am number four. I rate this book 11/10

I recommend watching the movie She’s the man. I love this movie because it’s really funny and it always puts me in a good mood. My favourite character is Viola because she is so determined to play soccer she gets into a boys soccer team pretending to be her brother Justin. My favourite part of the movie is when she proves to everyone that girls can play soccer too and the time when the prettiest girl of the school Olivia falls in love with justin but it isn’t really justin at all. I think it’s cool that Viola took her brothers place in the soccer camp so he could go to london to fulfil his dreams and it also meant the she could fulfil hers.
This movies I will rate as a 8/10 and i would say it is for people 10+

I recommend the movie ‘A Thousand Words.’ This is the funniest movie I have ever seen in my life, I defiantly recommend it to all ages. The film is about a man named Jack McCall (played by Eddie Murphy) who is a literary agent, and has set his sights on New Age guru Dr. Sinja (played by Cliff Curtis) for his own selfish purposes. But Dr. Sinja is on to him, and Jack’s life starts to come crashing down after a magical Bodhi tree mysteriously appears in his backyard. With every word Jack speaks, a leaf falls from the tree and he realizes that when the last leaf falls, he will die. This film is about love, family and about truly realising that money and wealth do not matter, but family and the ones you love matter most. This film was truly inspiring and realistic, and my favourite character would have to be Jack (played by Eddie Murphy) because he was so funny.
I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a good laugh.

Beautiful Creatures- the book
I know this is my 3rd book recommendation of the night but I finished all these books in the last 2 days. I finished reading Beautiful creatures last night and to be honest I didn’t exactly like it. I liked many aspects of the book such as how it was a boy’s POV and how everything connected, his mother, Amma and the locket to the couple and each other. But what I didn’t like was how unrealistic it was, not because it is a fantasy book but the things that should keep it down to earth, because he was a normal boy in the beginning, there was nothing wrong with him but he acted to good. I didn’t like how quiet he was, I don’t think they ever joked or laughed, it was always serious, and how he feel in love with her as soon as he saw her. They also never had a fight I don’t think. I also hated when Kami(the author) described how her hair curled when Lena the ‘caster’ had magic, I don’t know why but this always annoyed me because every time there was magic she had to mention it and it just really got on my nerves. I also didn’t like the ending (SPOILER) when she didn’t even get claimed to be dark or light, she just stayed the same, I think it was because she wanted to make a series but it all feels very repetitive. I wouldn’t recommend this to people because of the lack of feeling,(there is lovey dovey feeling but no raw emotion). I’m still surprised they were able to make this into a movie.

Clockwork Princess- Cassandra Clare
2 days ago I finished Clockwork princess, it was amazing, (This recommendation contains SPOILERS). The ending or more specifically the epilogue, had me in tears, I just couldn’t cope with the idea of Jem being well and alive again and it leaves so many unanswered questions. I had been suspicious that Brother Zachariah, was Jem before I started to reading CP, but when Will realised he died I actually thought he was dead, so it was quite shocking to find out that he was alive. I found it a bit confusing when Tessa found out she was half demon half shadow hunter and I wonder if that affected her blood line and that’s why Clary can draw new runes. I still can’t believe that Tessa married Will I was so happy because that’s what I always wanted to happen(he was my favourite), but it was also sad because Jem was still there. I was in tears when I found out he had grown old with Tessa and they kids and when he died Jem came in and played Will’s life on his violin even though he wasn’t meant to, I also thought it was sad because Jem had seen Tessa with him his whole life and he still loved her dearly. I loved how Cassandra told the whole story.But then when I thought everything was ending up nice and neatly she broke me, it was such a shock to see Jem was human and living and not a Silent Brother anymore and he’s going to marry Tessa, she got both the guys she loved. But know I’m wondering if Tessa mets Clary in City of Heavenly Fire? Do we find out how Jem turns back into a human? Plus she writing another series, called the Bane Chronicales and it’s from Mangus’ POV I think but it’s set in 2012 I think, so I’m wondering if this is about Jem and Tessa and maybe they met Clary and Jace then or maybe they have kids. I am just so emotional right now. I can’t wait for her books to come out. I am never going to get old of Clare and she can write as many series’ as she wants because I was always keep reading them. The one thing I disliked was the chapters seemed rather long which I don’t like as I lose interest rather quickly but other than that it was one of my favourite books.

Rules of attraction- Simone Elkeles
I loved this book I really felt like reading a good cheesy romance with a good girl and a bad boy. I liked how the chapters were rather short, it kept it interesting and involved, I was surprised i read it in less than 24 hours. I loved Carlos like I loved alex in Perfect chemistry(her first book of the series). I have to admit i am a bad boy lover. It’s so corny and unrealistic but it was set in real life unlike the other books i’ve recently read that are fantasy which were becoming overwhelming. I didn’t have a favourite part it was all pretty average. Although I recommend it to anyone looking for a cheesy novel, it reminds my of the TV show the OC. I really did like this novel although I think I will wait a but before I read Luis’ story called Chain Reaction. I really like how Simone Elkeles has set out her trilogy it doesn’t follow a group of people but a family, and each book is about a different brother, but it’s good because you also see snippets of the other brothers that you’ve already read about and how their life is going.

I love the “Hairy Gary Lookalikes”. My favourite part of the show is Sam’s Mailbag, when people send stuff into Sam and most of the time they’re telling him how much they dislike him and why or something equally funny. Oh, and street talk is good because Sam talks to a lot of Loonies on the street and they make you crack up. It’s probably not great that it is on so late at night though. I’d recommend it for anyone 13+. Once you get to know the people on the show more from watching it, you’ll understand why it’s funny.

I recommend Revenge (TV show). It is my favourite T.V show at the moment and even though you might think the plot of revenge couldn’t make much of a T.V show, it is the best. I thought after the first season they wouldn’t be able to think of anything more interesting, but the drama keeps on rolling. My favourite character is Amanda (faking being Emily) because she is a great actor. She can pretend to be really nice and proper but underneath she wants revenge. Although Amanda wants to get revenge for what people did to her father (taking him from her/ to jail for something he didn’t do), you can also see that she is nice and kind as her friendship with Nolan is really strong. They’re like brother and sister. My favourite episode so far was the one where Tyler was holding Daniel’s birthday party up with a gun at emily’s head. I don’t know why but it was just had a really good drama vibe. Revenge has gotten many teenage girls caught up in it because it’s so good. I recommend revenge for girls 13+.

I Feel this book started a bit slowly, were the main character, Ellie, decides to organise a camping trip. The story picks up when the characters arrived back from their trip and found out that there was something odd happening in the town. There isn’t much of an explanation as to why this has happened. They start to question, What happened? Where is everyone? Did they forget about us?
I was quite surprised they were never spotted or discovered at all during the book, and at some parts it hardly seemed like an action/war story. I wasn’t really sure where the story was going at all.
I didn’t have a favourite character. I found there were quite a few characters who were in Ellie’s group, which got a bit confusing, and we didn’t really find out a lot about them.
Even though it wasn’t action packed, I didn’t think it was too slow paced after the first camping trip part. Overall, it was ok. It was quite exciting in some aspects, and over all I give it a 7/10

This movie involves a-lot of swearing in it so it wouldn’t be suitable for people younger then 14. I would recommend this both Men and women aged between 14 to 80. The character i love the most is Grandpa. His not the typical grandpa, His hipster, and gangster grandpa. and uses drugs. I would rate this movie 10 out 10

I recommend the movie ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris. I loved this movie because it went from moments of complete chaos to moments of hilariously. My favourite part of this movie was at the beauty pageant when they were dancing on the stage. My favourite character was Frank because I love Steve Carell because he is so funny and he is really good at getting into the role of a character. I dont have a least favourite part of this movie but one of the parts I don’t like is when Richard is telling Olive about ice-cream and that she shouldn’t eat it. Luckily the rest of the family stand up for Olive and make the whole ordeal very lovely. I would definitely recommend this movie to other people because I can guarantee you will laugh A LOT! The age group I recommend watch this movie are secondary school students because I think they will get more out of it because they are more mature. I score this movie a 10000/10 🙂

SAFE HAVEN the novel, (has spoilers)
I really enjoyed safe haven, the story line was really good. I liked how it was written in 3rd person so you could understand what all the characters were feeling. But what i didn’t like was how sometimes it was a bit over descriptive, at first it was really annoying but then i just stated to skim and block out all of the describing words. I absolutely loved the plot twist, i would never of seen it coming if one of my friends who’d seen the movie told me to watch out for Jo. ( I seriously hate when people do that). I really felt sorry for Kevin but he was a monster, it was interesting to see it through his eyes. But it was ridiculous how much Kevin drank the night everything happened, in real life he would’ve died or passed out at least. The book it’s self was rather nerve racking and gets your heart beating at the end, but it’s a great romance book that I would recommend for an older audience because the characters have already been married and older characters can be boring for some, but I liked it!

I recommend the novel ‘The Fault in Our Stars’ by John Green. I loved this book because it is both about love, hope and suffering. My favourite part of this book was when Hazel and Gus first met. I loved this part because it was so innocent and they immediately knew that they were meant to be together. My favourite character had to be Hazel because even though she was going through such a tough time, she found some space in her heart to love Gus. Even though I love this book so much, it is also very sad too… this book took me on a journey and it made me laugh, smile and cry. I recommend this book to everyone who loves a good story. The type of person that would like this book are secondary school students because parts of this book are very confronting and grown up. I score this novel a 10/10

Confessions of a teenage drama queen – Movie
I really liked this movie because it is exciting and I was always wondering what Lola was going to do next. I can relate to Lola and Ella because they love the band Sidarthur and I love One Direction. I think it’s great in the end how Stu Wolf proves to everyone that Lola and Ella were at Sidarthur’s party by bringing Lola’s necklace to her in front of everyone. Something I would change about this movie would be that Ella got to meet her favourite Sidarthur member, Steve, because Lola got to meet Stu Wolf, her favourite Sidarthur member and Ella didn’t. My favourite character is Lola because she is quirky and unique. I rate this movie 9/10 because it was very exciting and I would like to watch it again.

This book follows the great mysteries of these 3 children as they try and find what was thrown in the lake, who did it and why. I thought this book was good. It was quite an easy read so I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for something light to read. I really like this book because there were a lot of clues you had to solve yourself or try at least. I really liked how the author really made you think in the book and wonder. I had a lot of questions throughout the book that were answered at the end which made me want to continue reading. There are more books in this series so it doesn’t just end at the end of this book.

I would recommend the movie ‘Tomorrow when the war began.” I only just saw this movie 2 weeks ago at a friends party for the first time and I loved it. I had heard a lot about the movie, about how great it was and everyone seemed to love it. I had always wanted to see but never actually gotten round to it. I wish I had earlier because it was so good! I loved the action and a bit of humour in there at parts. Even a bit of romance. I loved how the director did it! I loved the effects, the actors and just everything in-between! One thing I would say is that there is no sequel of the movie. It finished like it was going to have another movie and there are more books, so I was a bit disappointed with that but overall it was really good! I rate it 9/10!

I would highly recommend the movie “Perks of Being a Wallflower.’ This movie would have to be one of my favourite movies of all time hands down. I saw this with one of my friends on the school holidays and I think it’s fair to say that we both loved it! This movie made me very teary and emotional. The movie really makes you feel for the characters. I think the director does a really spot on job of that. I will say that when watching this movie you really have to think while watching it. Some parts can be confusing but then if you think about it a bit more you will start to get it. If you don’t get it I still recommend seeing though but maybe seeing it again because this movie is totally worth it! I loved how some scenes left you hanging and wondering, questioning. Especially then end. I really like the end of the movie although it can leave you asking some questions, it still leaves you in wonder of what happens. Personally I really like that in a movie, it makes it more interesting. I rate it 10/10. If you haven’t seen, see it, if you have, watch it again.

I recommend the book The Hobbit to any fantasy reader that needs a challenge. This book is probably not for people who give up on books that are complicated, fairly complex and difficult. If you are a keen reader and haven’t even attempted to read this or Lord of the rings, then DO IT! The plot is very interesting and complex but this is what makes it so exciting More than a few times I just wanted to put it down but I had too many questions that I wanted answers for, so I kept reading. Last I read it I was probably in year six or seven. Every time you read it you find out a new detail or twist in it. I you read Harry potter and found that easy enough, challenge yourself and give The Hobbit a go. If you enjoy the book you will be glad you read this review. The characters have so much to their personality it is impossible to get a sense of everything the first time round.

Do you like 12-16 year old criminal masterminds? Fairies, or more to the point, high tech fairies (Elves, sprites, centaurs, pixies, trolls, dwarves, gnomes and demons)? Characters with heaps of awesome personalities? Adventure? Heroes in hopeless situations? High tech stuff? If you answered yes to any of these questions: READ THE ARTEMIS FOWL BOOKS! You will not regret it. These books are so awesome. They are filled with adventure and action and I did not get bored with them AT ALL! I got most of them for christmas and some days I was reading most of a book and a chunk of the next. They are that good. Another awesome thing about them: They are HILARIOUS! I could not stop laughing for more than ten minutes at some points. You will laugh so much people will look at you and say “Are you sure you’re okay?” The more desperate the situation, the funnier the funnier some characters get and the more annoyed other become, making the funny ones become even funnier. If you still don’t believe they’re not worth your time then listen to this: My brother who absolutely detests reading has to read for school and was looking around in the bookshelf and couldn’t find anything. I gave him the first Artemis Fowl book and he hasn’t given up reading it yet! 5 weeks has to be a record for him and he is actually really enjoying it. STILL don’t believe me? Then read them yourself and you’ll see I’m not joking around.

I think it’s so cute and i love how it’s written from 2 different perspectives it really gives the book depth and you know the thoughts of both the main characters and what they think of each other and at times i just felt like telling one character the truth about what the other character thought about them when they made a wrong judgement haha.

The book is about child spies James and his sister Lauren. In this particular book James and Lauren get sent on a mission together to infiltrate an animal rights group. I am all for animal rights but this group take it to far and start acting like terrorists. My favourite character is Lauren as she is around my age and is a very talented cherub agent. Throughout the book there are some pretty gruesome descriptions of what some big companies do to animals so I wouldn’t recommend reading this is you get squeamish easily. I like this book particularly because there is a lot of action which keeps you on the edge of your seat. I would not change anything in this story as Robert has already done an amazing job writing it. I would recommend this book to anyone over the age of 12.

I recommend the LC to watch the movie Snow White and the Huntsman,
It is the best movie ever! Snow White and the Huntsman is about this young girl whose mother (the Queen) dies giving birth to her, and Snow is left with her dad (the King) and friend. One day her dad declares war on a mysterious army that appears over the horizon and he finds an overturned caravan; after he wins the battle he finds a beautiful young lady in chains inside the caravan. He immediately decides to marry her lost in her beauty forgetting about his loss and she kills him on the first night they’re married.
Her army of soldiers attacks the castle and very few escape to a safe place leaving snow white behind to rot in the dungeons, while the woman became queen. One day she escapes from the castle and into the dark forests where the evil Queen can’t use her magic and she gets the finest hunter that knows the dark forest but would never go back so she bribes him by saying the she would bring his wife back from the dead (which she can’t do) and he goes with the Queens brother and some soldiers to hunt down snow white. the huntsman finds snow white very quickly and then asks the brother for his wife then he tells the huntsman that the queen was lying and he gets angry and kills all of the soldiers and the evil brothers escapes. So the huntsman starts to walk off leaving snow white behind and she begs him to take her to the duke’s castle where the refugees are from the attack of the castle. So she and the huntsman go on this massive journey finding dwarves and magical fairies and meeting people and learning more and more about the evil Queen.
In the end Snow leads an army to attack the castle and they eventually kill the queen and finally Snow White becomes Queen. It’s jam packed with love,adventure,action,drama and more so I definitely recommend the movie for girls 11 and up.

A great movie to go see is Les Misérables by French Poet Victor Hugo. This movie/musical has such amazing actors including; Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman, Russel Crowe and Amanda Seyfried.

I especially liked this one because 1.The actors in it were really good 2.The songs were really breathtaking and 3.The storyline was so interesting. I don’t have a specific part of this movie that is my favourite, the whole movie is amazing! From the very start to the very end, it kept in entertained and interested.

I loved this book because it taught me a lot about the ‘olden days’ and what life was like for the Grand Duchess. My favourite part of this book definitely had to be when Anastasia snuck out of the castle to go see Sasha. My favourite character was Anastasia because even though she is the youngest in her family, she is very grown up in her secret world with her and Sasha. I can relate to Anastasia because she is the youngest in her family and they all think she is a baby and that she is the person responsible for all of the tricks and jokes. I would recommend people read this book because it is very informative and teaches you a lot about WWI and what happened to the Romanov family. Anyone would like this book because even though it is based on a true story, there are still parts in the book that are funny and romantic. I rate this book an 8/10.

This is a follow on book from Divergent, and in my opinion, just as good – if not better than Divergent (which is quite difficult to beat!). I loved this book because of the world/setting/terminology the author creates! I wish that I lived in this book! My favourite part in the book is when Tobias comes to save Tris and has a break-down because he thinks she is dead and it is so beautifully sad because he loves her so much! My favourite character in this book was Tris, because she always makes the right decisions and is the heroine of the novel! My least favourite part in the book is when Tris is put under the lie detector and admits to have killed her friend. I think this is horrible, especially the guilt she feels – even though it wasn’t her fault and it was only out of self-defense. If I could change something in the book, it would be to make it longer…because I didn’t want it to end!!
I recommend this novel to EVERYONE!! I rate this 10/10 and am counting down the days until the final book to the trilogy is released.

My favourite part in the book is when Trice jumps down from the building (during the initiation) first, proving all the other Dauntless people wrong! My favourite character is Four ( also known as Tobias). He is a good teacher, strong and one of the best Daughntless there is, but he is also a mystery and a character I always wanted to learn more about. Along with Tobias, I really do enjoy reading about Beatrice, because she is so courageous, always standing up for herself and others and forever taking risks. My least favourite part in the book was whenever the other Factions make fun of/put down Abnegation. I think it is unfair and discriminatory. I wouldn’t change a thing in this novel. I am seriously hooked on this series! I recommend this book to anyone who enjoyed the Hunger Games, and also anyone who loves a strong female lead character and romance!! Rated: 10/10!!!

City of Bones, the first book in the Mortal Instruments series is one of my favourite novels. I loved this book because of the world Cassandra Clare created and the enthralling fantasy she built for her readers. She lets you use your imagination, and her writing is constantly drawing you in. My favourite part in the book was when Clary sees Jace for the second time, just after Simon professes his love for her! However, my least favourite part in the book is finding out the teacher lied to Jace. My favourite character is Clary because she is courageous, strong and independent. If I could change something in the book it would be the beginning scene, and how Jace, Alex and Isabella are introduced. I think the beginning of the book is boring and doesn’t relate at all to the rest of the novel (or the series for that matter) and it portrays the Nephillim in a dark light, when really, they are not. I would definitely recommend this book to people, especially those who are into fantasy/science-fiction novels and also those who love romance books (because there is a blossoming relationship throughout it!!). I rate this novel an 9/10, and definitely recommend it to others – it is a great read!

This is a science-ficition novel that I really enjoyed reading! The author, Lauren Oliver, portrayed the a world where love is seen in a negative light, and to begin with Lena is weak, ignorant and wants nothing more than to take the cure to save her from love. But then she meets Alex – and he changes her whole perspective on life, love and the world she lives in. My favourite part in the book was when Lena first sees Alex on the sky deck and he is laughing at her in her interview! My favourite character is Lena’s best friend, because she is fun, exciting, silly and is always brightening Lena’s day. My least favourite part in the novel is towards the end when Alex is caught and Lena escapes without him…alone and lost. As much as I dislike this for an ending, I believe it is a very good lead into the next book – Pandemonium, and I wouldn’t change it.
I would definitely recommend this book to people between the ages of 13-16 and people who love reading love stories will most certainly enjoy reading this novel!!

I noticed so much of my own thoughts, feelings and personality in her. I also found it the same with a few other characters. I’d say nearly everyone could compare themselves with at least one character in these books. The characters make the story come alive. Even these books are set in a fantasy world, they seem so much like the world today if you look closely. Everything seems so believable and real. I loved every bit of it and can’t wait to read the third book when I get my hands on it.

A great series of books I would recommend to anyone who likes fantasy is the Wereworld books by Curtis Jobling. Great books. They have, as you would expect, were-creatures. When I say were-creatures, we’re not just talking about the usual werewolves. This book as them all from wolves to lions, foxes, hawks, snakes, jackals, hyenas, numerous species of big cats, crocs, sharks, bears, stags, boar, lizards, rams and even a were-goat! And that’s only the ones I can think of off the top of my head! It’s the variety of the were-creatures that makes the books so good. To date I’ve only read the first three books. I’ve been unable to get hold of the fourth and it’s driving me crazy! That’s how good these books are. The “Good guys” always seem to be in a desperate situation with barely any hope. It keeps you wanting to find out what happens. Something else that does this is the multitude of subplots. You want to find out how they all link together and how it affects everything. Some of the characters go through many changes throughout the books, both good and bad. The author introduces you to a characters who, in the beginning, don’t play a major part, but then as the story moves on, they come into play. It keeps the plot moving and interesting. Granted, these books aren’t the best out of the fantasy bag, but the characters and the way the story is woven more than makes up for it! My favourite characters are Lady Shah, a hawk-lord. Something about her just seems to grip me on the inside. Something just pulls my interests to this mysterious character. Is she bad or good? Is she somewhere in between? Where do her true loyalties lie? WHO is she? My other favourites are Whitley, a were bear, and Gretchen, a were fox. These two are very strong characters with great quirks and personalities. Another good one is the albino were panther, Frost. He’s a baddy hands down, no arguments. Sly, cunning, animalistic Frost. He delights in contests both physical and mental. He loves the hunt and does not hold back in embracing the animal he is. These are just some examples of the characters that make the Wereworld books so awesome!

I recommend the movie Julie and Julia because it is a fantastic movie that can be enjoyed by all age groups. This movie about using cooking as a way of escaping the real world is easy to watch and entertaining. I can’t relate to any of the characters other than the fact that I also love to cook as does the two main characters. The two main characters are completely different ages so that leaves many people that could relate to one of the characters. The people in the movie are so real. They go to work each day, have trouble with friends and experience lots of set backs in their lives. I don’t have a favourite person in the movie but I believe that they are all great characters. Every part of the movie was my favourite because of the humour involved. Every little bit of Julie and Julia was great and is a movie that you can watch over and over. If you enjoy cooking and like romantic movies, this is the film for you. I give this movie a 9/10.

I recommend the book ‘Black Beauty’ written by Anna Swell. This book was an outstanding book from start to end, it is a book that was based on a true story of Black Beauty and what happened to a black stallion, as he was sold to many cruel and gentle owners over his long varied life. From a well born colt in a pleasant meadow, to an elegant carriage horse for a gentleman, and then to a painfully overworked cab horse Black Beauty has encountered a hard over worked life and in the novel you really feel you want to help him. The book reflects through Black Beauty’s eyes and how hard and tough life was for a horse back in the 19th century. The sadness and happiness of the novel helped tell the story and that’s what I loved about this book as you really felt for the horse and wished you where really there. I give this book a 9/10 and 5/5 stars as it was a fantastic read, and if you love the adventures, and horses than this book is definitely the read for you!

This has to be one of my favourite movies ever, it has real meaning behind it and it just so smart and creative. Words cannot express how much I love it. When watching it a first time I didn’t really get the start bit but when you work your way through the movie things will fall into place and you will understand it though. Its one of those movies you never want to end but when it does end you are terribly sad. When I finished the movie I questioned the end a bit, it was finished but I think it would of been better if they explained what happened after it and put that little bit more of detail in so everyone is able to get it but overall I love it and I watch it all the time if you haven’t seen it try and find it and sit down and watch it and have a little cry (happy cry of course).

This movie is an all time favourite of mine! I cannot get enough, I just keep watching it over and over again and I still love it just as much as the first time I saw it. Everyone basically knows the end already because it is all over the internet but for me the end is not the best part, the middle is the best part for me. You see the characters evolving and changing and becoming someone else. The story line is very well planned and thought out but I do think the start and middle could be a bit shorter because it does drag on for a little bit but the ending makes up for it. It follows two main people Jack and Rose who have very different backgrounds and are on the boat for different reasons. It is amazing how the become close because they have so many different qualities but that is what makes the movie so much better. Must watch! 10/10.

Love, Aubrey: Book
Love, Aubrey focuses on eleven year old Aubrey, who lost her father and younger sister, Savannah, in a car accident earlier in the year. Aubrey’s mom unable to function or deal with her grief left Aubrey. Aubrey is left to fend for herself until her grandma shows up at the door one day. Love, Aubrey is about getting unstuck from the terrible moments in your life and moving forward even if it’s really really hard and painful. From when I first started reading this book I fell in love with it, it really got me thinking how someone so young could do so much. This is a very creative book but also very real as it can happen to the best of us. All the way through the book you notice little things on how she is changing and what she has become. I really enjoyed this book and if you have time give it a read. I would rate it 8/10.

Tomorrow When the War Began: Book
It started very slowly with the main character Ellie randomly organising a camping trip and seemed to invite everyone she knew. This part did not grab my attention and dragged on for too long with no meaning. Although the story did improve when they found out something was going on in their town, it all happened very suddenly for the characters and the reader. This book did not go into great detail of what what was actually going on and the action more about how the characters were feeling and how they were going to cope. in this book you needed to focus because in a few places it was easy to get confused with what was happening. Although this book did not focus on the action it was still alright after the first few bits. If you were expecting an exciting fast pace book this is not for you. I would rate it 6/10.

I have read this book numerous times in and out of school but it always seems to be changing. Every time I read it I notice thing I never noticed previously so you can never get bored of this book. The start for me drags on for a little to long and nothing interesting happens until past the middle but if you keep persisting it will get interesting and you will enjoy it more if you focus. If you don’t focus when reading this book it is very easy to miss important little things that make the experience a whole lot better for you. I would defiantly recommend this book to someone who is interested it war and what happened in the time of the holocaust. 8/10.

The Twilight Saga: Book Series
These books are made for females although some males do read them the majority are females so it would be perfect for us. This series is based around forbidden love and how we love things we can’t have. The main characters are Bella, Edward and Jacob. This saga is not for everyone though it drags on for a long time if the reader is not interested and when I was reading them myself I found the story line was the same thing repeated and repeated again. The first book was the main book of where this was occurring so it took a while to get up and running but as soon as it did it got more interesting with twists and turns and lots of romance. These books are mainly romance and fantasy so if you love that sort of stuff go and get your hands on them. 7/10.

Perfect Chemistry
I loved this book because it was well written, funny, interesting, informative, a romance novel and showed how love conquers all, which is my favorite type of novel! My favourite part in the book was when Alex was playing checkers with Shelly and showing a soft side to himself that no one ever sees. I think it is really cute and is written really well to show another side to his character. My favourite character is Pedro because he is funny, brave and demonstrates to the reader the importance of loyalty and strength of friendship. I can relate to Brittany in the novel because she wants to hide parts of herself from other people, and tries to keep up a separate image of who she is for everyone to see. My least favourite part in the book is when Alex admits to Brittany that he made a bet on her, just so she would go away, even though he loves her. It annoys me so much because it doesn’t fix the problem, it only makes both of them unhappy. If I could change something in the book, it would be that Pedro doesn’t die, because it was really emotional and upsetting. I would definitely recommend this book to others, along with the other 2 books in the series. They are all amazing and unique in their own way. I recommend this novel to people who love romance books/girl meets boy novels!!

I would recommend the book Sweet Dates in Basra. This book is mainly about a young Iraqi girl (Kathmiya) who is sent to the city from the countryside to work as a house maid, and a young Jewish Iraqi boy (Shafiq) who falls in love with her. This book is set in the 1940’s so around the time of World War 2. I particularly liked this book because it is set before the Muslims and the Jews started fighting. My favourite character in the book would have to be Kathmiya because she is a very smart and strong women. I can’t say my favourite part of the book without giving to much away but it is towards the end. I liked everything about this book and wouldn’t changed it at all. This book is actually written for an adult audience but it is written in a way that teenagers can still read it and understand. I would recommend this book to an older or mature audience. It has quite a few Islamic terms that most people would not be familiar with.

Mirror Mirror is a very good movie! The movie was full of adventure and romance, which made it very interesting from the very beginning, to the very end. I definitely enjoyed this movie as the storyline was one that drags you in, and you can not stop watching no matter what. I don’t really have a favourite part of the movie, as I loved the whole thing. It was full of action! My favourite character/s would have to be the Dwarfs because they stood by Snow White the whole time and they let her stay with them in a time of need. Mirror Mirror is about an 18 year old girl, who is trapped by her evil Step Mother. She is not allowed outside the castle, until she was sent to be killed by her step mothers servant, except that she was not killed, as the step mothers servant did not want to harm Snow White.

My favourite part of the movie would be at the end when the two people ( no give aways) find each other at that same spot and kiss. I just found ti really adorable and after a year he was still in love. My favourite character would have to be the character Zack Effron is playing.

The only person I can relate to in this movie is, the lady’s daughter as her mum doesn’t want to let her out. This particular event hasn’t happened to be before but something similar has. My least favourite part of the movie would be when Zack Effron kisses the lady that was much, much older than him. I found it disgusting! I don’t have a least favourite part of the movie I liked it all. It was perfect just the way it was. I would recommend this movie to others, but most likely girls because it is a chick flick, but it is also a very good movie, which shows love and how to be a good worker.

Boy in the stripped pajamas
I absolutely loved this book!! It was interesting to read and I accidentally read it all in one night. It was just so tempting and I found it very, very difficult to out down. My favourite part of the book was when Bruno found Shmuel. This part of the story left we wondering how a boy who keeps saying he is a big boy, doesn’t understand that his father is a solider who is harming and killing the Jews. It just didn’t make sense but it did send a very strong message across. My favourite character would still have to be Bruno because I liked the way no matter what he was told he always wanted to explore things. He just wanted to investigate, it was almost as if it was the only thing on his mind the whole time. I can NOT relate to any of the characters in the story because I am not one to investigate and I certainly do not kill people because of the simple reason they don’t like them. I also am not rude and bossy to my younger siblings and neither is any-one else I know. This story and the characters in it are the exact opposite of my family and life today. Which I am actually thankful for. My least favourite part of the book would have to be the ending. Not because I it was sad, but because it sent a very simple message. A very sad message I will add. What was happening was unjust and unfair. This was showed when Bruno was gassed along with Shmuel. I wouldn’t surprisingly change anything in this book because it sent a very simple message across and it also demonstrated what used to happen back then. This book is perfect the way it is with the authors writing. I would definitely recommend this book but not to young people younger than in year eight because it does show what used to happen and some may have never heard of the holy cost ever before and it may be a little to much to take in. I think the type of people that would enjoy this book would have to be able to pick up messages easy, but they would also have to be mature people. The boy in the stripped pajamas is a fantastic book and it has a very strong message.

Chinese Cinderella
This book actually turned out to be quite a good book, but it was very slow to get started and interesting. I liked the book because it showed what life used to be like and it had history to it. My favourite part of the book would have to be when Adeline’s friends came for her birthday, because it showed the her step-mother that she actually did have friends, but of course she still took it the wrong way and sent them home. My favourite character would have to be Adeline because she showed many qualities I wish to have and keep. Like courage, hope and persistence. She also never ever gave up. I honestly can’t relate to any of the main characters in the story. I could really on relate to Aunt Rein because she just wanted to help Adeline and care for her. My least favourite part would have to be when her brother picked her duckling to be pretty much killed by the family dog. I really think this wasn’t fair on Adeline as she had already gone through so much in her young life and that duck was like her best friend. I wouldn’t change anything in this book except maybe Adeline’s evil step mother, but I liked the history in it and it was a real life story, so it just showed how tough life can be, so don’t take things for granted. I would recommend this book to others because it is a good book, and although most people don’t usually enjoy a book that they were made to read, but this book I did enjoy it was great. I would recommend this book to mainly girls aged from 13 onwards, because it does have a mature them in the foot binding. This was a great book, but defiantly a slow starter.

My favourite part of this book would have to be when Josephine brought home her boyfriend. I liked this part because it could defiantly be related to real life. Meaning judging a book ( person) by the cover. Not what was really inside. This happens all the time in real life. My favourite character was Josephine’s mother because all she wanted to do was take care of Josephine but with her mother telling her she is doing it wrong the whole time it is a bit difficult for her. However she never even thinks of not helping Josephine. I can’t really relate to any characters as such but I can relate to a particular event which would be being judged before the person even knows you. My least favourite part of the book would be every time their ‘grandma’ would be rude to Josephine and her mum. This wasn’t fair and this would be the one event I would change if I could. I would defiantly recommend this book to others as it is a fantastic read. I would rate it an 8/10 and would recommend it to people age 12 and above. The type of people that would enjoy this book would be people who can relate to real life situations because I think this is what this book does.

I enjoyed the book Ghost Rider by Cornelia Funke. I read it because it was by one of my favourite authors, but it was a bit childish. Still, I enjoyed it. It’s about a little boy who gets sent to boarding school and starts seeing ghosts who are out to kill him. He meets a girl who knows what to do to help him. So they call on a ghost knight to protect them, and that’s when the real adventures start. I liked how there were many twists and turns in this book. It could have been a very plain and straight-forward book, but instead she’s made it interesting. I thought that there were numerous times that the book could have finished, but instead she added on more information and eventually, ended the book with no further questions. I didn’t really have a favourite character, there wasn’t really enough time for them to explain who they really were inside, so I didn’t get time to choose one. They were quite young kids, and so don’t really have any good or bad qualities yet. But the book was quite interesting and entertaining, but of course since it was for younger people, there could have been some improvement. I rate it 6/10.

I recommend Wreck It Ralph to everyone. It was so much fun to watch and so entertaining. It was so smart and original, the way that after the arcade closes, they all go to each other’s games and hang out. It was so amazing. My favourite character was Venellope. She was so annoying and funny, it was entertaining to watch. There were a couple of heart-renching parts in the movie, the part where he wrecks her kart while she was watching and crying, and when Ralph almost died saving everyone. It was really sad. It was really good and I really enjoyed it. I recommend it to everyone and I rate it 9/10.

Although I didn’t make out of the last part, the book made me realise how lucky I am to have healthy parents and how much I can take for granted.

I recommend a book called Delirium by Lauren Oliver. It’s set in America and it’s about a girl who has grown up in a world without love. They think love is a disease, and so have invented a cure for it, which they must take at the age of 18. She has believed in this cure all her life, and has been counting down the days. Then she meets a boy…
This book may sound like your typical chit-lit, where girl meets guy, guy falls for girl, girl plays hard to get, they all fall in love, happy ending, blah blah blah. But this book is different. It is so different and creative. I’ve never heard of a book that has found a cure for love. It’s so interesting and amazing. My favourite character would have to be Alex, because he’s so charming and lovely. I found that I couldn’t put the book down, and it had such an explosive ending. I rate it 9.5/10 and I recommend it to everyone that like a love story and something different in a romance novel.

Nearly Every country has a stereotypical Character to represent them. Some countries are broken in half, And, Some charcters are not countries, but, micronations or former countries. I never knew there was a former country called “prussia”. They show

I would absolutely recommend the book “Dork Diaries”. There are actually quite a few books in the series which makes it even more addictive! I have read a couple myself in primary school so I am now hoping to find some more. Another good thing is that the main character is a girl which can sometimes make the book a bit more interesting and relatable for girls. My favourite character would have to be the main character, it is always so easy to relate to her. I also really like the book because it has a few pictures within it which can make reading more enjoyable! I have read about 2-3 books, I cant quite remember which ones i read… but I know that I loved both of them! I also really like the book because of the style. It is almost the same as “Diary of a wimpy kid” but much more suited for girls. It has a real “diary style” to it. With the ruled lines and handwriting makes you feel more comfortable and homely while reading it. Overall it is an amazing book and i would recommend it for any girl aged 10+! Although it is a easier book to read I still think it is suitable for any girl! Thanks

Her father remarried and married to someone who is REALLy mean! The main charter has an aunt who loves her and really cares about what she does! The only way the main charter Father will appetite her is when she get top of her class award and she tries really hard to get it and she gets it like every week her class mates sre really happy for her. When her father got remarried the person he got married to had kids and they have 2 floors and the floor that the main charter is on they get really bad food and don’t get new clothes she only has her school uniform to wear and her step mother kids get anything that they want. that’s what her life is about and she pretends that she is from a loving family and thats just some of the things that happen.

Movie review- Life of Pi
I watched this movie just the other day, and it is AMAZING! It has a great storyline, and it hooks you in the whole entire time. I was transfixed. There were some sad bits, and I have to admit I cried a few times, but I still loved it. This is definitely one movie that I will still love when I am much older.
I would recommend this movie to people who love movies that are magical, and full of adventure. the age range of this movie would probably be for people from the ages of 6 or 7 to probably any age. It is a beautifull movie about friendship, courage, and hope.
This is definitely one of the best movies that I have ever seen, and definitely one that I will want to watch for years to come. 🙂

The Hannah Montana Movie
The Hannah Montana movie was fantastic at the time and I have to say, I really enjoyed it. I was only about 11 when I saw it for the first time and it was my favourite movie for a while there but it is still ok to watch now with younger siblings or relatives. There is so much singing and dancing throughout the movie and features the well known, Hoedown Throwdown which makes the movie fun to watch. You don’t even have to be a Hannah Montana fan to watch this movie and even parents enjoy watching it with their kids. I think that this movie is best for people aged 5 to 13. People outside this age bracket would still enjoy it but I honestly believe that it is best suited for this age group. There are many messages through out the movie about greed, friendship, priorities and persistence which is great for the younger audience. My favourite character at the time was of course Miley but I am sure that if I was to watch it again, that might all change. THe characters are very easy to relate to and easy to understand. They are all very likable which is great for a kids film. It is a great movie to watch with younger friends or family so if looking for a babysitting DVD, this is by far the one to get!

I so far give this book a 9/10 because the way it is structured is fantastic, and I’m enjoying it very much. I recommend this book to ages 13 – 18 because it is about a teenager making decisions, which we can all relate to as teens.

Gnomeo and Juliette
I would recommend the movie Gnomeo and Juliet to anyone under about 13 years of age. It is a great film but I think it has an age limit. It can be highly enjoyed by kids as it is funny, cute and incorporates humor based at younger people. There are songs and celebrities in the film which make the movie fine to watch for even parents and older siblings. There are many lessons of life taught in the movie about friendship, getting along, trust and working together which is really good for the younger audience. My favourite characters in the film were the little mushroom gnomes on the blue side of the fence. Not only were they extremely cute but they also came out with some catchy sayings and songs. This colourful movie is perfect for young kids and I think that everyone under 13 should make a time to see it and see what they think for themselves.

New In Town
I highly recommend the movie New In Town to anyone and everyone. This comedy is so funny and great for the whole family, both males and females. The movie includes many real issues such as job loss, teenage girls, girls going to prom and really, something for everyone. The best part about this film is that the humor incorporated throughout the movie can be understood by people of all ages. It is never inappropriate which is why it is the perfect movie for the whole family to sit down and watch. I don’t have a favourite person in the movie as they all have their moments. As I said earlier, there are issues in this movie that can be related to by so many different people. There are people going to prom, people loosing their jobs, people who love arts and crafts, people who love cooking and people from out of and in the center of town. Having all of these different story lines means everyone will love it. It was very cleverly created and I think everyone needs to give it a go. The humor is hidden throughout the movie and is really easy to follow. It is an all round fantastic film.

This book is quite romantic which I love but also has a mystery side to it which I found very intriguing. Jo is the main character who has been unlucky in love and is dragged along to see a clairvoyant by her two coupled-up best friends. She is told that there’s only one boy out there for her. The trouble is, the last time she saw him was in a past life, when she worked as a governess to his younger brother. The clairvoyant tells her that as she is back in this life and so is he and she must find him if she is ever to know true happiness and love.Jo doesn’t believe a word of it – but then a series of events begin to change her mind.

The Eleventh hour is book about mystery and surprises. It has rhymes, riddles and unexpected appearances by the animals with in this book. And thats not even the best part. It is a massive mystery within these few pages. This book contains one of the harder mysteries a book can display without it being not understandable. I love is so much. The book is great for partner work. I remember distinctly that Dad and I figured out the code. I can still remember what the message reads however I won’t tell you! That would be cheating. Graeme Base is an award winning writer and illustrator. He has a knack to make a simple book into one of the best mysteries a book can hold. And he is an Aussie. Can it get any better?

The book that I am going to recommend is Indie Kid. It’s about a girl called Indie who wants grow up. This book is about the struggles of how Indie tries to convince her friends and family to treat her like she is mature. It is funny and full of adventures of Indie, Caitlin and her dogs. I love this book because some parts nearly every girl can relate to. I relate to the story line in the way in how she wants to grow up. When I was seven every one around me treated me like I was just learning to walk and stuff like that. And this basically what this story is about. I recommend it to the girls that love adventure, laughs and dogs.

i recommend a movie called First Love. It is a documentary on 3 17yr old surfers from Philip Island! It tells us the story of how they started surfing and their Journey through the year when they are preparing to go to Hawaii at the end of the year to test themselves on the big waves! The three surfers names are Jess Laing, Nikki Van Dijk and India Payne! My favorite is Nikki Van Dijk because she is really funny and crazy and her personality is a lot like mine. Nikki was also the best surfer out o all of them and won a wild card to the ripcurl pro and surfed against Steph Gilmore! jess hurts her shoulder and cant surf, so she cant go to Hawaii. They have a great time and it shows us the life of 3 surfers from philip island! I rate this movie a 10/10 because it is inspiring and very interesting to watch them surf and there time in hawaii!

I reccomend the book once by Morris Gleitzman.
This is a book about a boy and his journey to find his parents.
The boy’s name is Felix. Felix lives in Poland. The year is 1942. Felix is the son of Jewish parents who run a bookshop in Poland. The Germans are under Hitler’s control and are rounding up Jews to send to Death Camps.
The story begins in an orphanage in Poland where Felix has lived for three years and eight months, after his parents could no longer afford to keep him. They said they would come back for him when they had got over their financial problems.
The orphanage is run by nuns. One night at dinner when Felix is collecting his bowl from Mother Minka, the head nun, he sees something floating in his soup bowl that could mean savior from the orphanage! There then begins a perilous journey to find his parents on which Felix meets new friends and allies to help him through the rough times ahead.
This book tells more than Felix’s story. It is an amazingly powerful and tense recount of what people would have felt and experienced when the Nazis were in power. I found this book very moving.

The Three Musketeers (Movie Review) 2011.
The Three Musketeers was one of the most amazing movies I have ever seen. It is probably a movie that I would not have thought of watching, but I am so glad that I did. This movie was all action, romance and adventure. The Three Musketeers is about a young teenager named D’Artagnan who leaves his family to become a musketeer and join the other main Three Musketeers, Athos, Porthos and Aramis. He meets them, and gets into some trouble at first with some of the Cardinal’s guards. He meets the King and Queen of France and is rewarded, as the fight was 4 people against 40, and the Three Musketeers and D’Artagnan had bet the 40 guards, winning as the always had. The main idea of this movie was for the Three Musketeers and D’Artagnan to be able to retrieve the Queen’s diamond necklace which were stolen by the evil characters, Buckingham and Milady and to be able to stop a war from occurring. My favourite character would have to be D’Artagnan because he would never give up when he was trying to find the Queen’s diamond necklace and he really wanted to be able to do what he thought was right by stopping a war from starting. My favourite part of the movie would have to be the very start, when D’Artagnan meets the Three Musketeers, as it was a pretty funny and exciting scene and I liked how the always used the same line, ‘All for One and One for All’. I would rate this move a 10 out of 10, as I really enjoyed it and I would recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys watching a movie that is filled with a lot of action and romance. I really enjoyed the Three Musketeers and I would definitely watch this movie over and over again.

Mirror Mirror (Movie Review)
Wow….. what can I say. Mirror Mirror was fantastic! The movie was full of adventure and romance, which made it very interesting from the very beginning, to the very end. I definitely enjoyed this movie as the storyline was one that drags you in, and you can not stop watching no matter what. I don’t really have a favourite part of the movie, as I loved the whole thing. It was full of action! My favourite character/s would have to be the Dwarfs because they stood by Snow White the whole time and they let her stay with them in a time of need. Mirror Mirror is about an 18 year old girl, who is trapped by her evil Step Mother. She is not allowed outside the castle, until she was sent to be killed by her step mothers servant, except that she was not killed, as the step mothers servant did not want to harm Snow White. She had escaped and met the dwarfs who trained her to be able to fight off her step mother and help her town from her step mothers evil plans. I really enjoyed this movie and I would recommend it to everyone. Mirror Mirror is the sort of movie that you would watch over and over again, so I would rate it 10 out of 10. This movie is fantastic and I would definitely watch it again.

Snow White and the Huntsman (Movie review)
At first, I thought that Snow White and the Huntsman would be a scary type movie because of the advertisements on TV, but it actually isn’t. Snow White and the Huntsman is a fantastic movie. I drags you in from the very beginning. I really enjoyed this movie as it was something different to what I would normally watch. My favourite character would have to be the Huntsman, played by Chris Hemsworth because from the very beginning, he helped Snow White in what ever way he could, after meeting her in the forest where she was chased into. Snow White is played by Kristen Stewart, which I thought was a great choice as she has pale, white skin and black hair – which matchers the description of the original Snow White. My favourite part would have to be all of the events which lead up to the very intense ending. Snow White and the Huntsman is about a young girl who’s father had died, and had been locked up for a very long time. All of a sudden, she had escaped and was running for her life from the evil queen. The queen had wanted Snow White dead, so she sent the Huntsman to catch Snow White and kill her. After that, Snow White and the Huntsman went through many terrifying experiences together, trying to stop the queen from her evil plans. This movie is great! I would probably rate it 9 out of 10, as it was really good. I think that it is a good movie for teenagers and not for young children, as it would probably be too scary for them, but so interesting for teenagers. I really enjoyed watching this movie, and I can not wait until it is out DVD.

The day after forever (book review)
This book dug and dug deeper into my heart every page, every sentence, every word until it came to an end, when I read those last few words i was holding back making sure i didn’t read that last word just so i didn’t have to finish it. But finally the book had to come to an end, and it took me along an emotional roller coster which didn’t stop and still hasn’t to this day, I still think about jeff and courtney how they should have ended up being together, how I imagine Tonis loud voice giving Eddie demanding orders while courtney is so gentle and elegant while she glides across the room. But I just can’t seem to get around that The day after forever is completely and utterly over and I don’t fully understand what my intensions are for it yet, I don’t know if I loved or hated it because the end brought me to tears after all the happiness that was welling up inside me it now fells like someone has ripped that out of me and smashed it into a million pieces.

You know that feeling when you have just finished a really good book and you are sad thats it has finished but intrigued by the abrupt and unexpected end? Now multiply it by 1,000,000. That is what I felt when I finished reading Shift. It was an amazing book! At the start, I thought I knew exactly what was going to happen and how it was going to end. After a while, I realised I was completely wrong, but in a good way! I thought it ended nicely but I wanted to know more about Miranda and what happened to her. I also thought that Lachlan was a really stereotypical character. I didn’t like the fact that he kept showing up just at the right moments and it made the book even more unrealistic. But overall I loved Shift and though it was creepy it was a brilliant book to read.

My favourite characters were Sonya and Sholto because Sholto is very smart and can escape and survive harsh terrain and because Sonya is going on the quest with Rye to help her friend, the warden’s daughter, so she doesn’t have to get married to the boy who finds the source of the skimmers. The dramatic turn-arounds in this book makes it much more interesting. Suitable for ages 11+. Score is: 9/10

Perks of being a Wallflower
After reading the Perks I’m so emotional, in the last ten pages of the book everything just came together. I’m so depressed everyone is leaving and then what happens between Sam and Charlie that makes him realise that he has been molested by his aunt makes me faultier. I’m so confused right now with emotional overload. I can’t believe the ending; how could someone he trusted so much do that to him? And how for years he loved unconditionally. I love how his friends support him but also at the ned of the book before he has the mental breakdown his family starts to say they love him and make him feel more welcome. It makes me love my own family. This book also tells you to make the most of your life and that it’s your decison in where it goes as when in the book they give an example of the alcoholic father that has two sons and one becomes sucsessful and the other becomes a drunk. The same goes with Charlie that becuase he was molested and that the person who molested him was molested, doesn’t mean he will molester anyone because it is up to him and he makes his own choices. I am happy that nobody died because I thought that was going to happen and was dreading it. I just saw the trailer for the movie, but I don’t like it, Logan Lerman might be ok as Charlie if he doesn’t try to act cool but just be the character. I hate Emma Watson as Sam because this book is so unknown that I thought they might need unknown actors and she is too big, also I think as Sam as long hair but it’s short in the film, she should have grown it out.

I recommend this for ages 14 +. This is a must see!

I love the book Marshmallow Skye. It is the best book I have EVER read. I love it so much because I can relate to. I love it so much. It is about twins and how one of them feels left out…..thats all I’ll say because you have to read it. I was walking past the junior section in the new library and was flicking through some books and found it. I spent all night reading it and I was late for school the next day. I recommend it to people 11, 12 or 13 because it is based on those ages. I also recommend that you read it nice and early so you won’t be late for school. I love chocolate, birthdays, old fashion and boys and that why I loved this book so much and even though this book may not be true but it taught me a lesson – Never give up no matter how bad you situation is because you will all ways come out of that depression with a smile!!!! I loved this book and hopefully so will you

I really enjoyed the movie Coraline. I don’t know why but it is certainly a very different movie to they Justin Bieber Movie. It had a bit of spook and a nice animation. I think the part I loved the most was probably the way the movie was made and how it kinda reflected on every person in everyones different way. I really enjoy these movies such as horror, spook, mystery and a dark scary. I think everyone should watch this movie once or twice to understand its real point.

This book is awe inspiring and truly amazing.

It is absolutely astonishing, astounding, surprising, stunning, staggering, shocking, startling, stupefying, breathtaking, sensational, remarkable, spectacular, stupendous, phenomenal, extraordinary, incredible, unbelievable, mind-blowing, jaw-dropping an it is certainly literary wondrous.The story line is about a girl called anna who lives in a world where a drug that allows you to live forever has been found, But you are only allowed the drug if you agree not to have a child. For the the people who take the drugs life’s a breeze but for the surpluses like anna life is hard, serving the those who live forever. The ending is like no other it is mind blowing and leaves you wanting more.I love this book and would recommend it to every one and any one.

This is the most gorgeous book you will ever read, i think that it was an extremely unique idea for a story. I’ve never come across a book like this before. Even though I have never experienced what it is like to be deaf, i think this book has sort of helped me to understand what it is like not to be able to hear. All throughout this book you are with Demi on a very personal journey, you can feel when she’s frustrated, happy, angry or even scared and you feel those emotions along with her while you’re reading. My favourite character is now Harry, he is so incredibly adorable and I love the way he explains Demi’s deafness to everyone. The end of the book was really good, it put lots of things in place and sorted out lots of issues, especially with characters like Ethan and Flawless. I think that Demi is a very strong and regular character, but she is also so interesting and that is what makes this book so special. A great read! i definitely recommend it to 12-15 year old girls, because i think they will relate to it the most, but it would be a great read for everyone 🙂

‘Whisper’ by Chrissie Keighery
tis the end of the book. I just loved it, every week I felt an almost irresistible pull to pick up the book and devour the whole thing. However, I couldn’t do that because a) I didn’t want this beautiful tale to be over too soon and b) I wasn’t allowed to.
In actual fact, I read the book through very slowly, savouring every well-written chapter.
I’m not 100% why, but I really loved accompanying Demi on her journey to finding inner piece and successfully juggling both the hearing world and the deaf world. It was very calming as she began to grow accustomed to dealing with both without her hearing.

The book is finally over. I am very glad. I thought this book was just dull and boring and it didn’t have a very exciting storyline. There were bits and pieces that i enjoyed but as hard as I tried I just could not seem to get into the story. I think it could have been a bit more energetic. I breathed a huge sigh of relief at the end though because Gracie finally stood up for herself! When Savanna made Gracie lie for her and was controlling her was just so frustrating!

I would like to recommend this book because I have read all the other Kane Chronicles and loved them and this one was no exception. It only came out on May 3rd but I bought the book on Itunes. I really think as the last book in the series it tied up all the loose ends and answered all the questions I had from the previous books. I can really relate to Sadie Kane because she has had to move schools and thats exactly what I have had to do coming to Sacred Heart. This book really makes you wish you were their helping save the world. The author does a great job making up fake reasons for why things in the world were happening at that time like the reason that Egypt had all it’s riots were because an evil snake had escaped. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves mythology and adventure.

Ok so, City of Lost Souls came out on Tuesday, it was amazing and if you haven’t read it and are a big Mortal Instruments fan don’t read this as it may contain spoilers. I loved this book finally Jace and Clary are together but it hurt so much inside that it wasn’t him. Then you find out Sebastian feels everything Jace feels and vice versa you just break, personally I like Sebastian and I hope he doesn’t die, maybe that he becomes good or banished but I want him to fall in love because I read the little extra book that came with the book which is the start of another book from his perceptive and he is just really lonely, and I feel for, him. I really hope there isn’t a movie because I don’t want a director to squish my image of this series. My favourite part of the book was when they were in Venice having the romantic night, because it was romantic even though it wasn’t really Jace. I didn’t like most of it, not saying it wasn’t a good book but it was very bleak. He was either not there or not him, and Alec was going behind Magnus’ back which you could tell was never a good idea. Then Simon having troubles with Isabelle. My favourite characters in this book were, Jordan because he was in love with Maia and they are very cute together. I would change how Magnus and Alec broke up I want them together, and I would also have had the wedding of Jocelyn and Luke because I thought that would be nice but I’m guessing Cassandra is saving it because I guess something saucy is going to go down at it. I would recommend this book to anyone who like parallel universe romance books, because he writing is has character and is very easy and enjoyable to read.

This is the second best book I have read. It is filled with adventure, romance and humour. It funny and filled with exciting, unexplainable and fun adventures. I love books that are unpredictable and this is defiantly one. The best part about the writing of the book is the fun that Nanny Piggins has with the three children that she looks after. The three children that she looks after are Derrick, Samantha and Michael. They are all fond of their Nanny and without them they story wouldn’t be any good. The children nearly miss every single day of school, them and their nanny go to an old folks home to complete 5000 hours of community hours (but thats another story) and watch Nanny Piggins go and tell fortunes.
It is defiantly a book that I recommend to everyone. Although the disadvantage about this book is that you have to read the other books in the series to get the book completely.

I would like to recommend the manga series Bleach. Here is my description of the series:
High school student Kurosaki Ichigo’s life has always been different to other kids, because he can see ghosts. For as long as he could remember, he’s been able to see spirits from the afterlife. His life completely changes one day when he and his two sisters, Karin and Yuzu, are attacked by an evil, hungry and tormented spirit known as a Hollow. Right in the nick of time, Ichigo and his siblings are aided by a Shinigami (Soul Reaper) named Kuchiki Rukia, whose responsibility it is to send good spirits, also known as Pluses, to the afterlife known as Soul Society, and to purify Hollows and send them up to Soul Society. But during the fight against the Hollow, Rukia is injured protecting Ichigo and must transfer her powers to Ichigo. With this newly acquired power, Kurosaki Ichigo’s begins his training and duty as a Shinigami to maintain the balance between the world of the living and the world of the dead…
It is a fantastic series, with lots of danger but can be quite funny at times. I really don’t like the Hollows. They scare me a bit. Sado/Chad is my favourite character, not only because he is strong but because he has a caring, quiet side to him and is crazy about cute things. I would recommend it for children over the age of 10, as there is a little bit of violence in it. I would rate this series 10/10. What can I say, I’m hooked on it and I’ve read it three times through each chapter.

I highly recommend the book ‘Vampire Kisses’ by Ellen Schreiber! It holds every element us teen girls love; Vampires, hotties, romance and danger. I found myself reading this amazing book (and series!) at every chance I had, you won’t be able to stop until you have finished them all. The book pulls you from one emotion to the other, love to thriller, serious situations relaxed by the lead character Raven’s humourous sayings, a very befitting trait to suit the book seeing as the author herself was once a comedian. I totally entrust this series with a whopping 10/10, even though it has uses cliche vampire characteristics, the characters couldn’t be more different and the reading experience more unique.

It is about a little girl named Adeline who lives in a very strict family which all blame her for the death of their mother. Her dad remarried a cruel french/chinese lady called Niang who treats Adeline very poorly and doesn’t like her very much. The only people in her family that believe in her is her Aunt Baba, her Ye Ye and her Nai Nai (Grandma and Grandpa). She is a very good student and is very clever and kind and is also very responsible. The only people who don’t see that are her parents and her brothers and sisters. Her siblings are very mean to her, calling her names, putting her down and pulling mean tricks on her. She dreams of going to England one day and because a writer or something more than just a girl who nobody notices. This is a very inspiring book that I think everyone would love and it is based on an Autobiography written by Adeline herself. Some parts in this book will make you cry, and some will make you smile. But altogether I love it! I really think everyone should read this book and I give it a rating of 9/10!

I would love to recommend to everyone a great book called the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. It is a great novel about a frightening tv show, where 24 competitors are selected from 12 different districts, and are placed in an arena to fight to the death. This book is amazing and very hard to put down, as it always keeps you in suspense and is never boring. There is lots of action and survival techniques involved as the book is basically about staying alive. My favourite character was Rue, because she sounded so cute and her story from her district was interesting. I would rate this book 10/10 because it was so amazing!! A movie has been released for this book and it’s just as great as this book, but I think the book should be read first so you will have a better understanding of the movie! Happy Hunger Games, and may the odds be ever in your favor!

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the most AMAZING book, and I loved reading it so much. I enjoyed this novel because of it’s in-depth descriptions, creativity and also the adventure’s Harry Potter went on. J.K Rowling made me feel as though I witnessed everything inside this novel and it felt like I was their with Harry! My favourite part in the book was when Harry Potter did the 1st task of the Tri-Wizard Tournament-trying to take a dragons egg from it’s mother! I think this was a very exciting part of the novel and I really enjoyed reading it. My favourite character is Ron. He is really funny, loyal and kind to Harry. Ron is portrayed in the novel as a “nobody”, seeing as his best friends are “The Famous Harry Potter” or “The brilliantly smart Hermione Granger”. I really like Ron because he rarely complains about never having the spot light and is really co-operative. My least favourite part in the book was the end, when after Harry had battled with Voldemort and the Minister of Magic wouldn’t believe him that Voldemort had returned…I was really frustrated in this part-much so like the character Harry Potter! I wouldn’t change anything in this book because it is written perfectly and I like it the way it is. I would certainly recommend this book to EVERYONE, however I would advise for you to read the first few books in the Harry Potter series first, which are also fantastic! Any type of person would love this book…I didn’t think I would like Harry Potter because I don’t really enjoy like fantasy books, however I was enthralled by the Harry Potter series, as soon as I finished the second chapter!!! I rate this novel 10/10!

Love and Other Drugs
This is a really good film in which I thoroughly enjoyed. I think the acting in this movie was really well done, especially by Anne Hathaway. I liked this movie because of the storyline, and also the different emotions it brought to me-in many cases I was happy and laughing, but then towards the end I was sad and crying. My favourite part in the movie was when Maggie goes to a group meeting about people who have Parkinsons disease like her, and then she realises that she can live happy lives like they do when she is older-even with this disease and she is inspired by their stories. My favourite character was Maggie Murdoch, because of what she has to face in her life-having Parkinsons disease, and yet she is really strong about it and she gets on with her life. My least favourite part in the movie is when Maggie gets frustrated with the shaking (which is a part of her disease) and then she starts crying out in pain. If I could change something in this movie, it would probably be that Jamie had a different career, because I didn’t really like the job he had in this movie. I would definitely recommend this book to others because it is funny and loving yet also rather sad and it broadens your mind a bit to the people who have the Parkinsons disease. I think this is a brilliant movie and people of ages 14+ should watch it. I rate it 9 ½/10

I loved the movie This Means War because it was a romantic comedy that was well-scripted and rather funny!! My favourite part of the movie was when the 2 guys were fighting over Lauren and using their fellow spy agents to find out everything about Lauren-which is a bit creepy though I might add!! My favourite character was Lauren’s best friend because she was really funny and even though she thought she was giving Lauren great advice…they were actually really bad ideas! My least favourite part in the movie was when Lauren had to finally pick one of the guys…it was going to happen the whole movie, but didn’t happen until the very end, and I didn’t want her to make the other feel upset. Luckily though, the guy who wasn’t picked found someone!
I don’t think I would change anything in the movie because it all ran smoothly and had good themes and funny quotes and ideas.

I would like to recommend “Seriously….I’m Kidding” by Ellen de Generes. This is an auto biography but with a difference. It is a quick easy read, without all the boring personal details. In this book Ellen expresses her own views on many of todays issues as well as her own brand of humour. This book really is for all ages (it even has colouring pages) and is a nice piece of light reading.
“Seriously…..I’m Kidding” is not a step by step guide of Ellen’s life but rather her insights into how she sees the world, as well as superficial, funny topics (such as her being the best supermodel).
I like the fact that you don’t have to think too much while reading this book and it is fun and simple to read. I also like that Ellen has added in serious opinions on real issues. Some of the chapters provide topic to make you think a little, while others have you in fits of laughter. To thoroughly enjoy the book you really need to appreciate Ellen’s style of humour as it is a common theme right throughout the book.
In some parts the humour does become quite repetitive and can be a little over the top.
Overall I think this is a great book fro people who want a bit of a break from the serious reads and is definitely a must read for anyone who loves Ellen’s humour (and who doesn’t!!!)

Wicked is the 5th book in the pretty little liars series. This book is the most intriguing yet. With not only secrets about Ali’s death being uncovered but personal secrets about the girls being uncovered by ‘A’ and also the girls themselves. Scenes of horror and death are spread throughout this book as well as heartbreaking situations where relationships fail.
I loved this book, like all the other pretty little liars books! I loved it because Sara Shepard has written to persuade the reader into thinking something about a person or a situation, but then it turns out it is completely wrong! These twists and turns throughout the book, add the the mysterious secrets and lies planted and revealed throughout the book.
My favourite character in this book is Spencer again! Spencer had to go through so much with her parents hating her for telling everyone she cheated on her Golden Orchid Essay. Her parents wouldn’t talk to her. Some how Spencer managed to get through this hate from her parents as well as the scariness of the messages from ‘A’. I also like Spencer’s story in this book, she thinks that she is adopted and finds her supposed mother, but it turns out to be a scam and she loses all her college money because of it.
My favourite part in the book is when Emily finds a guy names Isaac, they fall in love, I just love their relationship. It is so cute and innocent. (not for the whole book though!)
I would recommend this book to others because of its quality of writing, with its description and detail. Also because of the way it is written, it is just impossible to stop reading once you start because it is so addictive!
I would rate this book 10/10 and recommend it to girls aged 13+.

I recommend Unbelievable by Sara Shepard. This book is the 4th in the pretty little liars series. Hanna has survived being hit by a car driven by ‘A’ but still can not remember who ‘A’, Emily’s parents continue to not accept her for who she is and they send her away, Aria finds out her Dads new girlfriend is pregnant and Spencer continues to figure out who ‘A’ is.
The girls have their suspicions about who really killed Alison, they are persuaded by ‘A’ into thinking Melissa, Spencer’s sister is the killer. Spencer finds herself in a dangerous situation with ‘A’ after finding out who it is….
The pretty little liars series is only getting better, more secrets are being revealed and more are being hidden. I really enjoyed unbelievable as one of the major secrets in the series was uncovered, we find out who ‘A’ is. This uncovering was long awaited, and was completely unexpected.
My favourite character in this book was Spencer, she is the most determined to find out who ‘A’ is when she doesn’t know that ‘A’ is right under her nose. She is the strongest character in the book, with the most interesting personal life compared to the other girls.
If I could change one bit in the book it would probably be Emily breaking up with Maya, I found it sad the Emily had to do this. Emily was then left with no one and was very lonely.
Unbelievable is for the type of reader who doesn’t mind reading scary books at night! There are many eery and horrific situations in this book that are quite scary. I would recommend this book to people 13+.

However, some parts were confusing as it was set out as a diary and some dates were missing. I would recommend it to ages 14 and up because teenagers this age can relate it to their age group. I would give it 8/10 stars!!

INSIDIOUS – M
Insidious is a thriller movie about a boy called Dalton who had previously had an injury and never woke up from it. The doctors said he was in a coma, but he was indeed having an out-of-body experience (astro-projecting). (In case you’re wondering what an out-of-body experience is, it is when your soul leaves your body. It usually occurs at night and your soul wonders around, out of your body, and you can usually see yourself lying in bed. You feel as though you’re flying and when your soul returns to your body, you wake up) No-one knew that Dalton had an out-of-body experience, until weird paranormal things begin happening in their home, like ghosts wondering around, blood hand prints on sheets, scary shadows, etc. Dalton’s parents are scared to death, and they decide to move house. Dalton was in a coma for months, and the doctors allowed him to stay home. More paranormal themes begin happening and Dalton’s parents ask his grandma to live with them for a little while. The moment Dalton’s grandma begins experiencing these paranormal themes, she knows exactly who to call. A women comes over and checks out the home and tells Dalton’s parents that he isn’t in a coma, he is indeed having an out-of-body experience, and the only way to get him to wake up, is to have someone astro-project and go find him.
This movie is a freaky thriller that will have you jumping in fear from the beginning till the end! It sends shivers down your spine and leaves horrifying images in your mind! I would rate this movie a 3/5 because it is a good movie, but after watching it, shivers still run down my spine! One tip, don’t watch this movie at night!

I recommend the book, “The fault in our stars”. I think I was a beautiful story. It is about a teenage girl named Hazel who has had cancer and now has to carry around an oxygen tank to help her breath. Hazels mum insists that she goes to a support group where other people who have had cancer share their stories. That is where she meets Augustus. Hazel and Augustus (Gus) soon become very close friends, and it turns into love throughout the story. My favourite part of the book was when Augustus and Hazel went on a trip together to meet their favourite author. I think it was sweet because Gus shared his wish with Hazel so that they could go together. My favourite character was Augustus, he was a really sweet and interesting character who was also very funny. I don’t have a least favourite part because it was just so good whether there were sad parts or funny parts. I would definitely recommend this book to people from the age of 13. I give it 5/5.

The third book in the series is called ‘Perfect.
With the identity of ‘A’ still unknown the girls continue to receive taunting text messages and emails from ‘A’. The police are still investigating who killed Alison. Hanna, Aria, Spencer and Emily all have their struggles with relationships with boyfriends, friends and family. They discover more about the day Alison went missing and something terrible happens to Hanna.
Perfect was SO GOOD! Being the third book out of 11 books in the series, its only the beginning really, but still as intriguing. Sara Shepard the author writes with such detail, being sure to only give small clues throughout the book. ‘A’ is such a big part of this book, as the girls come closer to finding out who it really is. I think that without ‘A’ these books would definitely not be as mysterious and interesting. My favourite part in the book is when Hanna finds out who ‘A’ is (But the identity of ‘A’ is not revealed to the reader, only Hanna knows). In this part of the book, I kept turning the pages faster and faster, I was so eager to find out. The book ends in a climax, because, according to ‘A’ – Hanna knew too much. My favourite character in this book is Emily. I find it quite sad how she struggles to find out who she is and that her parents don’t accept her. I like how she is a strong-minded character and doesn’t have a major breakdown because of her struggles.

My favourite character was Gale, he was so funny and self obsessed…a huge stereotype that made me laugh every time he said something! My least favourite part in the movie was when Beth doubts that Nick truly loves her, so tries to separate herself from him, when really he loves her, but she doesn’t realise it…I felt so frustrated, and I really wanted to go into the movie and tell her that! I wouldn’t change a single thing in this movie because I think the script was well-written and thought through. I highly recommend this movie: it is a must-watch! I think this movie is for people who love romantics, but also to have a laugh in it as well. I rate it 10/10!

You Again
I loved this modern, fun, comedy You Again. It is my favourite movie because it is a family comedy, and has great actors, with a brilliant story line. I had so many laughs throughout the movie and have memorized so many funny quotes! My favourite part in the movie was when the 2 families join together for a dance lesson, and competitiveness takes part between all the enemies and they start dancing horribly (trying to show-off) whilst the grandma (Betty White) is swinging across the room like Tarzan on along piece of material! My favourite character is Joanna Clark because she shows how you can change, and start a new life….because when she was in High School, she was mean and was a bully…but after her parents died, she had a look at her life and realised that wasn’t who she wanted to be, so she changed and became a really good person who was kind and helped out the community. My least favourite part in the movie was when Marnie turns as equally mean and immature as Joanna and ruins their wedding, I was so annoyed with her and I wish she hadn’t done it. Although I didn’t like this part, I wouldn’t change anything in this film because it all fits in nicely together and is directed cleverly. I would definetly recommend this movie to others because it is my favourite, and I am sure it will become yours too! I think anyone would like this movie, especially if they like to have a good laugh! I rate it 10/10!

I strongly recommend The [ REAL LIFE ] series.
I read this a couple of months ago and after a while every other book that I read paled in comparison. There are four books in the series, I only read one of them, and that book was really full of emotion. Four teenage girls (one book per girl) come together by one book, which helps them with their extremely life changing issues. These books are extremely emotional,but very,very REAL. The first book is called Motorcycles, Sushi & One strange book,the second: Boyfriends,Burritos and an Ocean of trouble, the third: Tournaments, Cocoa and One wrong move,and the last: Limos,Lates and My life on the fringe. You would be surprised at the turnout of these books. The author’s name is Nancy Rue.

I recommend ‘How to be Popular’ by Meg Cabot, this book is about a girl who finds herself extremely unpopular because she spilt her slurpee on the most popular girl at school, Steph L has been the most un-popular girl at school since. Until she finds a book called ‘How to be Popular’, as soon as she starts reading it she slowly works her way to the top of the school food chain by changing her attitude, spirit, confidence and CLOTHING! I like this book because it is a great example of a girl that is un-popular and not liked at all (apart from her two best friends) and then slowly works her way to become liked and respected by everybody. Steph L has a fighting spirit that I think is an important value that everyone should have, she always sticks by her friends (even in tough times and even when he starts to make new one because she is becoming popular) and at the worst of times they are always there for her, it might have started out bad but in the end everything starts to coem together for Steph, I rate this book 10/10 and I recommend it to everyone 11+.

Too small To fail.
There is this great book by Morris Gleitzman and I love it!!! It is a type of book that leads one situation to another and this makes the book enjoyable in all different ways. The book is called “Took small to fail”. I think this book is really good to read and snuggle up to read (when you have enough time time to read a book!) in your bed or on a cold day when you are wrapped in your warm blanket. It is a small book but filled with a very moving story that means it will be your favourite book for a long time.
I love the whole story, from beginning to end and I stayed up nearly all night reading it because it is very unpredictable and filled with adventures. And that’s what makes a good story. Right?
This is a book that gets straight into the story and doesn’t skip anything and all will be explained at the end. This book is one of a kind because of the series of adventures and the heart warming ending.
I would recommend this book to people that can understand banking enough to understand loans and that people put their money away in a bank. But this doesn’t mean that you have to do research about banking before you read it. I would recommend “Too small to fail” to year 5, 6, 7 and 8 but anyone can read it and still love it and recommend it as well. The reason why I love this book is because you are completely sucked in and can’t take your eyes of the book because it is cleverly written.
I personally love this book and if I could, I would get everyone to read it!!!!!!

Book Review: The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan
I really enjoyed reading The Red Pyramid because even though it is fiction most of the book is based on true facts about Ancient Egypt. I read the Percy Jackson series and loved it so I thought I would give this book a go. My favourite character in this book would have to be Sadie because she is so feisty and confident and even though she is afraid she still acts brave around her brother. This book is a real page turner, I could not put it down. I think I prefer Greek Mythology better than Ancient Egyptian Mythology so for that reason I would say Percy Jackson is better. I would definitely recommend this book to someone who enjoys fantasy but wants to learn a few interesting facts about Ancient Mythology.

I recommend the TV series Vampire Diaries. If you are into Twilight and things like that, this series is for you. It is very similar to Twilight but better. I love Elena’s character because she is strong, and always puts the ones she loves first. Unlike Bella, who only cares about Edward. Then brothers, Stefan and Damon both fall in love with her. Stefan only feeds on animals and is kind, unlike his brother Damon who feeds on humans and doesn’t care about anyone (for now). I love this series because you are on the edge of your seat on every episode. On the first four episodes it is a bit slow, but as soon as thats over your eyes wont leave the screen. Damon and Stefan are drawn to Elena mostly because their past love, Katherine who happens to look like Elena. There are not just vampires but there are witches, werewolves, ghosts and hybrids. There is also romance between the other characters, and at least one person dies per episode. It can also be gory so if blood makes you squeamish then either cover your eyes or don’t watch it :P.

I would like to recommend the book Flowers in the Attic by V.C. Andrews. It is a mysterious novel, set it Pennsylvania. The story starts with four children, Christopher, Cathy, and the twins Carrie and Cory. Their family was not rich, nor poor as their father worked as P.R. man for a large computer manufacturing firm. Every Friday, when their father returned from work he would give each of the children gifts. All was well until the children’s father’s 36th birthday. Everyone dressed their best to welcome father, all eagerly waiting until 4:00pm. Hours passed, everyone had become very worried as no one had heard from him, and the state police appeared in the driveway. Their father had been killed in a freak accident while driving home. Things turn from bad to worse as the family relied on the father for money, and they go bankrupt. They are forced to live with their multi millionaire grandparents who haven’t had contact with them for 15 years, because of a terrible thing the mother did all those years ago. The mother tells the children how they will live like princes and princesses once she wins back the love from her father.
She lied.
The children are locked in an attic for the mother said “just a few days”.
Another lie.
Forced to live under strict rules of the grandparent who considered the children as the devils spawn. I really enjoyed this book as it is exciting and mysterious but sad and had a really good ending. I would rate it 9 stars out of 10!

I can’t really narrow down a good part without spoiling the whole series for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet but my favourite season would probably have to be the last one because there are fights break ups and make ups. My favourite character would probably have to be
Emma because she all about standing up for what she believes in weather its to help all the girls in the school or not wanting her step brother to sign up for the army. My least favourite part about watching this series is the story line sort of goes on a bit but thats only in some episodes.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone.
I absolutely LOVED this book, the Harry Potter series is probably one my all-time favourite!! I liked this book because J.K Rowling produced a whole different world about wizarding people and in many cases, I always think if it could be real! She truly made me understand the way each character was feeling, and described everything so well, that I thought I was a part of the novel. After reading the first few chapters, I was hooked!! I only recently got into the Harry Potter series, because I don’t usually like reading fantasy books, but I am glad my friend made me read the first few chapters of this novel, because if I hadn’t read Harry Potter, I would have been missing out on a whole lot in my life!! My favourite part in the book was when Harry, Ron and Hermione had just become friends and now they had to get through like a maze of charms and enchantments because this is an adventurous part. My favourite character is Ron, because he is kind of the “nobody” out of the trio because Hermione is super smart and Harry is famous…I like Ron because of his Loyalty to Harry, and he is also very funny! I don’t have a least favourite part in the book, nor would I change any of it, because it is brilliantly written and I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the wizarding world at Hogwarts!! I would most certainly recommend this book to others, even if they think they wont enjoy it, they certainly will because I think this book is for any types of people (mainly ages 12+)…so have a go…it might surprise you!! I rate this novel 10/10!

I recommend the Alpha Force series by Chris Ryan because it is an action packed series that I couldn’t put down. The characters were described so well that I could almost believe they were real people standing beside me. The series are not like any other books where you have to read half the book before you really get into it, the action starts from the very first page. The first book in the series is called ‘Survival’, but the rest of the books can be read in any order. The stories are described so dramatically that if I was reading them at night and I heard the tiniest little noise my heart would start beating really fast until I realised that it was just the TV or my dog barking. If I could change one part of the series, I would change the first three chapters of the first book, ‘Survival’, by putting more action into them. If you are reading ‘Survival’ and you get bored in the first three chapters, just hang in there and keep reading. I did, and I am glad because it is the best series of books I have ever read. (Even better than Harry Potter! and I have read the series three times!) It was so good that for every one of the books I stayed up until nearly midnight, or until I completely finished the book, because I couldn’t put it down! If you are one of those people like me who likes a book full of realistic action that keeps you glued until the end, then you will love this series.

The Clique
I loved the novel “The Clique”, because it is well written, chick-lit, funny novel.
My favourite part in the book was when Claire is finally accepted by her rival Massie, (who is also her idol) and they become friends. I enjoy this part because it is the happiest moment in the book, after Claire has been bullied and felt unwanted and horrible about herself because of Massie and her clique, until they finally let her become one of them. My favourite character is Layne, because she is silly, crazy and doesn’t care what anyone else thinks of her, even if they think she is a bit weird, thats why I love her. I don’t relate to any of the characters in the book because I feel they most of them are superficial.
My least favourite part in the book is when Claire is being tortured by Massie and her friends (which is actually numerous times throughout the book)…these parts in the book are very detailed and make me feel the way that Claire does when Massie bullies her. I wouldn’t change any part in the book, but if I had to, I would probably make Massie and Claire become friends a just bit earlier in the novel. I would definitely recommend this book to others…specifically girls aged 12-15, if they enjoy girly novels. I rate it 9/10.

The Anti-Prom
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel about 3 completely different girls and how they spend their prom night together, getting revenge and helping each other through the night with different tasks they have been longing to complete. I enjoyed this book, because it showed how three unlikely allies, can band together, and become really good friends in one night, and learn more about each other in the some night, than some friends take a lifetime to figure out.
My favourite part of the novel was when the three high school girls went to college to try and find someone’s boyfriend. However, the couldn’t get into the dormitories without ID, so they went to the school laundry, dressed up for a pyjama party and stole an ID at the party wearing other people’s clothes and meeting cute guys along the way!!
My favourite character would be Jolene, because she has had a rough life, and she is a risk taker, and sometimes a law breaker and acts tough on the outside, whereas on the inside, she is shy, but kind and all she wants is to be loved by her father and accepted by everyone else for who she is.
If I could change something in the book it would probably be for that Bliss ended up with meeting a cute guy, because the 2 other girls got a boyfriend each, although Bliss only broke up with hers, and I think she needed to meet a nice guy in the end.
My least favourite part in the book is probably when the girls drive to Jolene’s dad’s house and Bliss and Meg don’t realise, but Jolene breaks into it and takes one of his favourite paintings…I wish that Jolene didn’t have to be mean and rebel against her father, and that would definitely be something I would change in the book as well.
I would definitely recommend this book to others who enjoy a good chick-lit book. I would rate it 8.5/10.

I recommend “The Muppets” Movie as it focuses on Kermit and the gang, it is an inspiration and full of comedy, romance, drama action and adventure! I loved it as it was a funny featured film with a journey that follows a dream to get Kermit and his friends back together and perform their show again after their show business fell apart. My favourite character would have to be Miss Piggy as she is a fantastic funny character and makes the film a funny memorable experience. I loved this movie in many ways because I always used to adore the muppets especially kermit when they had their tv shows around. This movie brings back memories and ticks all the boxes and I would recommend it to all ages who are into a bit of comedy, romance, action, adventure and a wonderful story shared by Kermit the frog and the gang!
You will love it!

The Tourist
I would recommend the movie ‘The Tourist’ to almost anyone. It is a film that keeps you on the edge of your seat just waiting for what will happen next. Everything is very mysterious and the scenery in the movie is gorgeous. The Tourist stars Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie. Johnny Depp (Frank) would have to be my favourite character in the movie because he is just so likable. Everything he has been in has been great. I can’t relate to anyone in the movie but there would be people who could in one way or another. The Tourist is one of my favourite movies and can be watched my both males and females. There isn’t too much violence and also has a bit of a romantic twist to it. The characters have to face intense problems and fight to survive but as with any good movie, there is a twist.

Something New
I would recommend the movie something new to anyone who loves Simon Baker. It is a brilliant movie and not only because of Simon Baker but because of the whole story line. It is great for any age group and is only PG. I am sure it is obvious but my favourite person in Something New is Brian Kelly (simon Baker). He is most famous for his roll in the mentalist and has appeared in several other TV shown and movies. I can’t relate to any of the characters but I would be guessing that there are people out there who can. This movie represents lots of things but it most defiantly shows not to give in to peer pressure, sticking to your gut and being yourself. Everyone would enjoy this movie and you don’t even have to be a simon Baker fan to have this as one of your favourite movies.

The Secret Life of Bee’s by Sue Monk Kidd
I found this book was dragged out to be longer than what it should have been – the actual moral to the story. It was enjoyable although took ages to read. It taught me when racism was rife how everyone was judged by their skin colour and had different rules. My favourite part of the book is from the middle to the end where we see Lily and Rosaleen transform from unhappy girls stuck in an unfair life to girls who stand up for what they believe in and get the life they deserve and are happy with. My favourite character is August. She inspires me to be as generous and nice as she is in this story – letting Lily and Rosaleen live with her and her sisters and helping them through life. I loved how she wasn’t angry at all when she finds out Lily was lying all along about her mother, etc. I don’t like the parts where T-Ray (Lily’s father) is really cruel to Lily and tortures her. Just from reading the book I can feel her traumatic feelings and how scared she is of her own father. I think it is HORRIBLE that he makes her believe she shot her own mother – Lily hates herself for this. I personally think this book needs to be summarized a bit more, so it’s more straight to the point. If you LOVE reading long books and you are a fast reader, then this is for you!

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas – John Boyne
I LOVED this book! It demonstrates the lengths friendships go to using history in Germany throughout the time of Concentration Camps. My favourite part of the movie is when Bruno meets Shmuel – two boys from totally different backgrounds who are FORBIDDEN to even be seeing each other. Over a year, they develop an immensely close relationship after Bruno visits Shmuel every day of this period. My least favourite part is the ending. It is really sad when Shmuel’s father goes missing and Bruno climbs under the fence to help find him without realizing what is going to happen. It is really frustrating seeing how Bruno doesn’t know his Dad is involved, and him – the innocent one ends up worse off. The good side of it though is that Bruno’s Dad learns his lesson and feels guilty for what he has done for the rest of his life. It is really depressing seeing how it destroys Bruno’s Mum and sister who didn’t want to be involved at all. I found the story line similar to the one of ‘I’m not Scared’, but totally different in a way too. It is a long read, but goes quickly. It is totally worth it for readers of ALL ages!!

I had seen Castles by Cynthia Rylant
I enjoyed this book as it is a love story, but at the same time shows tragedies that happen at war and how people deal with them. I don’t like history at all but I liked learning about the history of war throughout a story with so many other things going on. My favourite character is Ginny because she teaches John things that he doesn’t realize himself as he is so caught up in the crowd. Ginny stands up for what she believes in despite the consequences, she is not a follower and at the end of the book, John describes that Ginny “saved him” simply by standing up for what she believed was right. We see how the experiences and horror at war can impact on and effect someone’s life so easily and quickly that it will stick with them forever. John suffered post traumatic stress disorder when throughout the book, the war haunts him for the rest of his life and he finds it hard doing the simplest things (experiencing the sight of death – even his closest friends). My least favourite part of the book is when John loses his chance with Ginny or even to see her again. I cringed every time I read that he had disregarded her letters. I recommend this to adults and teenagers as we are shown through Ginny how different family morals and values shape who you are and impact on you and your decisions for life.

Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
I didn’t really enjoy this book, as I wasn’t used to the kind of environment they were brought up in, but in a way it was good for me to see how harsh it really was for migrant workers. When George and Lennie move from ranch, to ranch trying to find work, we see the tragedies and hardships they face, trying to fit in and earn some money. My favourite character was George as he held a big responsibility for looking after Lennie and although at time’s he loses it, he stands up for what he believes in, is fair and always does what is right in the end. I didn’t like the chapter where George shoots Lennie, but it was for everyone’s own good in the end otherwise Lennie would have gone to jail and possibly had worse, more painful things done to him. It is a drama-filled but also humorous book that has a little bit in it for everyone! If I could change something in this book, it would be that George and Lennie both escaped together and finally achieved their dream living on their own farm, but I guess the shooting is one of the moral’s to the story. I found in this book that George used a lot of ‘tough love’ towards Lennie but also taught Lennie, the people in the story and the readers a lot of life lessons. The message I got out of it was that your dream in life doesn’t always turn out the way you have planned or wanted it to be, but that’s life. Killing Lennie would’ve been one of the hardest things George had to do but it had to be done. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone as it may help society understand how hard it is for not only a person with a disability, but also the others close to and around them!

I’m not Scared – Nicollo Amaniti
I really put off reading this book for ages but after I’d finished it the first time, I ended up reading it twice! I found it really interesting seeing in the 1970’s of Italy, how poverty compared to wealth. I am not usually a person to like mysterious type books but I really found myself not wanting to put this down. My favourite character in the book was Michele as he was so naive as to what was going on and shows that not everyone is tarred with the same brush – family or not in the way he cares for Filippo. This story really touched me and was an eye opener as to how the environments people live in reflect their different behaviours. This really stood out to me as Michele’s father wanted to be wealthy, and rich like Filippo’s family was, so he kidnaps Filippo and holds him hostage to get money from his family. The moral of this story is that in the end the good people always come out on top (except Michele being shot by his own father, which he didn’t deserve). I found the end really quite distressing to read when Michele does get shot because it is so unexpected and happens so suddenly. But overall I I definitely recommend this book as it really shows the different environments in our world and how people respond to them. Although I do not recommend this for readers under the age of 15 as it may be very confronting and hard to handle!

Pretty Little Liars is a mysterious, exciting and chick novel which is one of my favourites! This book tells the lives of four girls who are being stalked by a mysterious “A” who sends them messages and threats about sharing their deepest secrets to the town of Rosewood. I enjoyed reading the book because it was not only about the lives of 4 girls and their relationships, but also scary and quite mysterious which urged me to continue reading. My favourite part in the novel was just after Alison’s funeral, where the 4 girls had just received their first group text which was really creepy, but it also gave the readers the idea that their would be a follow up book, and it also made me want to read more to find out who “A” was. My favourite character is Spencer because she is intelligent and takes risks to find out who “A” is. My least favourite part in the book was the ending because it didn’t say who “A” was, although I also enjoyed the ending because it gave the sense that there was going to be a sequel (which there is). If I could change something in the book, it would probably be to make the introduction smaller, because the introduction to all the girls seemed to take up half the book and I feel that is could have been quicker. I would recommend this book to people between the ages of 13-16 (because it can get scary at times) and to someone who enjoys mystery books. I highly recommend this book because once you start, you get hooked!

It is not only the glee concert but also has the stories of how glee has changed peoples lives.

The singing and dancing is amazing and you are kept intrigued through out the whole film. It would be to hard to pick just one favourite character because I love mostly everyone in the cast of glee but Quinn, Santana and Britney would have to be at the top of he list. Throughout the film you are amazed at their dancing and singing abilities and then the stories from people who’s lives have been changed because of glee leave you feeling a mix of happy and sad. I can’t relate to any of the characters in the film but there are so many people involved in the Glee Movie that I am sure that there are many peoples who could relate.

He is such a likable person and makes the movie so much better. It is hard to pick just on favourite because there are so many great actors in this movie. There is not a single main character that you haven’t heard of and that is what makes this movie so great. New Years Eve never gets dull. There is always something happening and you always get kept up to date with all of the stories. This would have to be my all time favourite movie and I am sure that it will be everyone else’s too!

Mao’s Last Dancer (book)
My favourite thing about this book is how the account of someone’s life is written in such a way that it is turned into a real narrative and as soon as you start it you become lost in the story and forget it is an autobiography you’re reading. Mao’s Last Dancer tells the remarkable story of how Li Cunxin, an eleven-year-old peasant boy living amongst the poorest of the poor in China in a small, poverty-stricken village is selected by chance at the last minute to become part of the Beijing Dance Academy to start a strict, seven-year training regime.
At first, Li wishes he wasn’t chosen and just wants to be with his family again, but then, a new attitude is formed in him and his dream is to be a true star in dancing, to show everyone he is not just a peasant boy. With the love and hope Li grew up with from his family and persistence, perseverance and true courage set firmly in his heart, Li sets out to achieve this fate and dancing becomes his true passion. I love how the feelings and determination of Li in this book are expressed so well to give the reader an insight to his emotions and I recommend it for mature people. I rate it 4.8/5.

Stuart Little
This is a very quirky movie based on the novel by E.B White (the author of Charlotte’s Web) and it tells the story of a how a talking mouse becomes the new family member of the Littles. This mouse, Stuart, is not treated like an ordinary mouse, except for the fact that the family cat is desperate to devour him. Stuart is treated like a real son by his new parents and he values his new life with a real family, however, other cats are out to get him and he gets caught up in a twisted series of events. George, the five-year old son, finds it hard to accept Stuart as his new brother at first, but after some time together, a bond between them is built and they become friends. I like the creativity and uniqueness of the story, especially the fact that Stuart is seen like a real person and no one freaks out because he’s a mouse, but one thing that I found a little annoying was how the parents of the Little family were too ordinary and normal and in a way, stereotypical, but I think that might just be the character that was intended to be portrayed. Generally, I think this movie is suitable for young children and young teenagers and I rate it 3/5.

The Prince of Egypt
This movie really portrays the story of Moses from the book of Genesis in a way that is understandable and engaging for children and it educates us on various moral values and Dreamworks has once again not failed to impress with spectacular animations and songs. The Prince of Egypt dates back to when the Hebrews were slaves in Egypt and it tells the story of how Moses, a Hebrew himself, grows up under the care of the Pharaoh’s family with his fellow brother, Rameses. When Moses is older and Rameses has become the Pharaoh, God tells Moses he must free the Hebrews under slavery from Egypt, so Moses becomes a leader and with the help of God, must convince Rameses to let his people go. With assistance from God and the support of his family and wife, Tzipporah, Moses takes on the mission with strong faith, and God performs many of His wonders, which look stunning in the movie. I love how this movie is easy for children to interpret as the characters and story is expressed through capturing animations and the catchy and meaningful songs make it even more engaging. Even the hieroglyphs on the walls look lifelike and the story teaches us about the greatness of God, however, some scenes can be a little confusing as the story progresses too quickly to follow, but the main events are easy enough to comprehend. I think this movie is very suitable for young kids to teach them about Moses and the power of God and I rate it 4.7/5.

Chinese cinderella
Chinese cinderella is the story of an unwanted daughter named Adeline. It is a true story about her unfair life. Her mother died when she was 2 weeks old, and her family blamed her for the tragic accident. She has 4 older siblings which included her sister Lydia, and her brothers, Gregory, Edgar and James. Her father re-married to a horrible, rude, bossy women, which everyone called Niang (mother). They had two children. A son named Franklin and a daughter named Susan, which they loved to spoil, unlike the other children.
Niang and Adeline’s father were cruel to everyone in their household, except for their 2 children, which they had together. Out of the lot, Adeline was treated worst, and her whole life, she’s felt unwanted. Over her childhood, she has moved school way too many times, and she has been forgotten far too often. The only people in their entire household who she trusted, were her Nai Nai (grandma), her Ye Ye (grandpa), and her Aunt Baba, which I find really sad.
Adeline and her aunt had an amazing, mother-daughter relationship. They got along so well, and as long as they had each-other, they were happy. Niang was angry, and felt that aunt Baba was a bad influence on Adeline, so she parted them, and they never saw each other again, until years later. Now that Adeline’s aunt was gone, she felt as though she was alone in this world. She was forced to live by Niang’s rules, and was mistreated, abused and neglected constantly.
This is an amazing story, which tells you all about how Adeline survived her childhood as an unloved girl. It is really interesting, and as you read this book, you feel as though you were by Adeline’s side, as all these bad events occurred in her life.
I rate this book 9/10, because it is a true story that will amaze you, the moment you begin reading it. In my opinion, I think that it is suitable for the ages 11+, due to the fact that it can be a bit difficult to understand in some parts and I know a few girls who are 11 and have understood it completely. Overall is is a touching story and I really enjoyed it.

It isn’t too childish, or too mature-like. It suits anyone. Even if you don’t enjoy fairytales, give this book a try, and I am sure you will enjoy it anyway!

Parvana’s journey
Parvana’s journey is a book about a young girl named Parvana. She lives in a 3rd world country, and her father has just died. Now she is in the middle of Afghanistan, unsure where abouts in Afghanistan she is in, looking for her mother and siblings. She then starts her journey to find her family, but on the way, she comes across these children. Hassan (a baby), Yusuf, and Lila. All together, the 4 children must try to avoid bombs and hopefully find enough food and water to survive their journey. This book is very interesting, due to the fact that they are around my age, looking after one-another, in hope to find their family. What makes things worse, is that planes are constantly dropping bombs, and destroying the homes of innocent people. There are land-mines buried in the ground and with just one touch it explodes. Yusuf has already lost his leg, and as Parvana is the oldest of all children, she must take on the responsibility to protect them.
Parvana must to try and find enough food and water for everyone, and if somebody gets sick, it’s her responsibility to make sure that everyone rests, until they get better.
As you read this book, you feel as though your there with Parvana, the whole entire way.
I would rate this book 10/10 stars, because it is an amazing book, which you enjoy the moment you read the first page. Whilst reading, you feel eager to find out whats going to happen next, which is exciting. This book is suitable for 11+ because it may be too mature for those who are under the age of 11. I guarantee that this book is a favorite for anyone who’ll read it.

The lovely bones (M)
The lovely bones is a movie about a 14 year Susie Salmon, who has been murdered by a pedophile in her neighborhood. This movie is about her soul who isn’t ready to go to heaven yet, and try to make contact with her father, to lead him towards the man who killed her, so he can be reported to the police. Susie wasn’t the first victim of this man’s. He had previously killed many girls round Susie’s age, and continues killing girls.
I saw this movie about one or two years ago with my mum. The reason why she wanted me to watch it, was because she loves me and never ever wants me to talk to strangers, and go off with them. By watching this movie, my mum taught me that if you go off with randoms, doesn’t matter if they’re your neighbors, you don’t know them. They’ll probably seem nice and friendly, but once they get a hold of you, there is no escape! Our strength is nothing compared to theirs. They can abuse you or even worse, like rape you or murder you.
I guess before watching this movie, I wouldn’t talk to strangers much, but now that I’ve seen it, I am aware of the horrible things that people can do in our days. When I saw this movie, I was shocked because I knew that there were bad people out there, but I didn’t know that they were bad enough to hurt you, which I found shocking. But now I know that not everyone is how they seem. Your own neighbor may seem nice, but there could be another side of them, which you never would’ve expected. I rate this movie a 9/10 because it is a good lesson learned, and it teaches you not to go off with strangers. It was wide eye opener for me and I hope that if you see it, you understand about the dangers of a stranger (stranger danger). This movie is for the ages 10+ because if your younger, you probably won’t understand it, but when your 10, you will understand what’s happening, and be aware of those people out there.

Coraline (PG)
Coraline is an adventurous, cartoon, children’s movie. Its about a women who lives in this complete different world, which could only be entered by a small door in one of the rooms in the pink palace hotel. She can’t get out, and her aim is to summon young girls who hate their lives, to go through the door with a small doll that she’s created to spy on them. She gets mice from her world to get the girls to go the tiny door at night, and she attempts to look like their mother but with one difference, she has button eyes! She calls herself the other mother. She creates the whole world to look like the girls world, except better, this is so that the girls prefer to live with her in this perfect world, instead of their boring lives in reality. Once the girls finally realize that they prefer this world to their normal one, the mother sews button eyes into their eyes, traps their soul in a mirror, and eats their body. The world falls apart, and then the mother gets hungry for another young child to summon. Like Coraline.
Coraline moves into the pink palace with her mother and father. She’s constantly bored until she discovers the door. She opens it, but nothing is behind it, but bricks, which then she thinks that it’s nothing important. She leaves it unlocked, and that night, a few white mice wake her up, and lead her to the tiny door. She opens it and a tunnel forms. The mice run through the tunnel, and Coraline follows. She then sees her mother cooking dinner, which is unusual because her mum never cooks. But this wasn’t her mother, it just looked like her, but with one difference, she had button eyes. The mother then told Coraline that she was her other mother, and that everyone has one.
She amazes Coraline with this world filled with amazing food, awesome gardens and talking/moving furniture. Then once she goes to sleep, she would wake up in her normal world. She tells her mum how awesome this world is, but as any normal mum, the mother said that it was probably just a dream. Coraline begins to enjoy this would more than her normal one. One day, when she goes through the door, she notices her other mother acting differently. The other mother begins to be mean and starts persuading her to come live with her. Coraline begins feeling uncomfortable, and the other mother starts suspecting that Coraline wants to go. So she locks Coraline in the mirror, where she meets the souls of the previous girls who lived in the pink palace. They tell her to escape the world before the other mother eats her too. Coraline makes her escape, but finds that the other mother took her real parents. She is now on a mission to save her parents and escape the world before it’s too late.
I like this movie because it really entertaining from the moment you start watching it. I would rate it a 10/10 because you can watch it over a million times and it never gets old. This has been my favorite movie for almost a year now, and I am sure anyone who watches it would enjoy it just as much as I do. This movie is suitable for the ages 9+. I am sure anyone who watches this movie will love it!

The stepfather is a thriller movie. It is about Michael, who lives with his mother, brother and sister. His mum gets re-married to a man named David, which he suspects is a murderer, who preys on broken families. He tries to prove to his girlfriend and his mother that David isn’t the man that they think he is. Michael then races to gather the evidence that would be proof, before it’s too late. But as he tries to find the evidence, David gets the urging feeling that Michael is on to him, and now David plans to kill the whole family before anyone else suspects him.

This entertaining thriller is MA and is suitable for those who can handle violence and thriller movies. It’s probably best for 13+ if they can handle it, but if not then 15+ for sure. I am 12-13 and I don’t really get scared that easily, but thats just me. I rate this move 8/10, due to it being one of those really entertaining movies.

Soul surfer (PG)
I recommend this movie called soul surfer (which is also a book), a true story about Bethany Hamilton and the tragic accident as she lost arm whilst surfing. Bethany is a girl who had been surfing since she was little, and now that she was older, she would enter surf competitions all the time. She lived in Hawaii, and one day she and her best friend went surfing in a different spot. As they were in the water talking, unexpectedly, a shark comes out from under Bethany’s surfboard and takes her arm. She is then rushed to hospital. She was very lucky to be alive and now has to try and live life with one arm. She then finds that she can’t surf anymore, due to her finding it difficult to push herself up on the board whilst surfing. But with heaps of practice, she finds the faith within herself, and she tries to surf again. Maybe it isn’t the same surfing with one arm, but she shows the world that no matter what, if you set your mind to something, you can always achieve it. She is great role-model to people all around the world, and she inspires everyone that anything is possible.
Before watching soul surfer, I guess if I was no good at something, I’d try, but if I didn’t get anywhere, I would give up. But now she’s inspired me that anything is possible if set your mind to it, and now, no matter what I fail at, I know that with practice, I can achieve anything.
I rate this movie a 9/10 because it was really interesting movie and it is PG, which means that it is suitable with parental guidance. If you like inspiring, true stories, then this is a perfect movie for you. I guarantee that anyone who watches it will love it, and I hope that Bethany Hamilton inspires you as much as she inspired me

The hole (M) -movie
I found the movie “The Hole”, a really entertaining and scary movie to watch. It is about two boys (Lucas and Dane), who move into a new house with their mum, and they discover this door, which was on the floor in their basement. Dane, Lucas and their neighbor Julie, the next day check it out, but it’s locked with several padlocks. They find the keys, and unlock the all the padlocks. Under the door, there seemed to be a bottomless hole, which is filled with white fog. All three children are in danger, as the hole brings their worst fears to life. They each individually come face to face with their fears, and they soon realize that the only way to get rid of their them, is to over come them. I enjoyed this movie because it’ scary, but at the same time, extremely entertaining, especially at the end, because Lucas, Dane and Julie finally face their fears, which means the hole is useless and can’t scare them anymore, until Lucas asks his mum what she’s scared of, and then her worst fear (a monster which hides under her bed) comes to haunt them.
I would rate this movie a 9/10 because it is one of those movies that you never get sick of. The hole is a movie for those who like entertaining weak horrors, and due to it being rated M, it defiantly wouldn’t be suitable for people under the age of 12.

If there’s one series that takes you to another world, it’s definitely The Hunger Games. Catching Fire follows up from the first book and the story is told from the eyes of the main character, Katniss. Katniss is a strong, determined character who is against the Capitol and its cruel ways of holding the annual Hunger Games where two tributes from each district are required to take part in a battle to the death. Katniss is a natural hunter but despite her tough character, she expresses a soft spot for her little sister, Prim, her mother and her close friends. I love the way this book is written to be so engaging and it gives a real insight to Katniss’ perspective on the whole system with the Capitol in charge of all 12 districts. In this book, many new discoveries are made, stimulating hundreds of questions to flood the reader’s mind and the events that occur often make you want to throw the book across the room as they move you so much. I rate this book 4/5.

A Walk to Remember
I really loved this romantic movie because it is different from other romance movies and isn’t stupid or soppy. The characters were acted out very well-especially Jaime, the second main character and probably most interesting. I like how she is very strong in her faith in God and despite Landon’s (the protagonist) rebellious personality at the start, she doesn’t hold back when they start to get to know each other, despite their many differences. At the beginning, Landon hangs around with friends who don’t succeed academically and are more popular at school and cause trouble. They make fun of Jaime behind her back because she is different and wears the same sweater every day, but eventually she becomes the most important person in the world to Landon. We see him soften up as he and Jaime build a bond and it is very sweet how he is so loving and caring and protective toward her. Jaime is a very inspiring character and I strongly recommend this movie to any one because it really is a walk to remember.

But, with the box comes rules, turn the key 3 times only, never pick up the box while the music is playing, and don’t close the lid until the music has stopped. But when Leo’s cousin Mimi comes to stay, she breaks the rules of the music box! Read the book for more information! I would rate this book a 7.5 out of 10, it was a great book but some parts were a bit slow.

I loved and would like to recommend the book The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner by Stephenie Meyer. It is another version of the book Eclipse (in the Twilight series) from one of the vampire’s point of view. It is about a new born vampire named Bree Tanner, who has nearly no memory of her life as a human. All that Bree really knows about living with the other blood-thirsty vampires is watch your back, don’t draw attention to yourself and make is back by sunrise. When Bree meets Diego, another curious newborn vampire, they come to realise that they are just a tool that their mysterious creator (that they only know as her) is using. I would rate this book a 9/10, I loved it and would recommend it to anyone that has read the Twilight series.

I think that the last part of the book is better than the middle. I think that the book cuts of too quickly at the end and the author should do a chapter at the end of the book of what happened after and how they got on with their lives. I wouldn’t recomend this book for someone under the age of eleven or twelve. I give this book a rating of three and a half out of five because it gets really boring at some points.

I would like to recommend the playscript ‘Macbeth’ by Shakespeare. This is a classic that many people have heard of but not considered reading, myself included. We studied it as an English text this year and I have really enjoyed it.
The language difference can be quite difficult to overcome and starts out very overwhelming. I would recommend reading a copy with an ‘english’ translation to try and make this adjustment a little easier. As it can be quite overwhelming I believe it is important to stick with the book. It gets a lot easier as the book goes on and it does get easier to understand as the book goes on.
This book involves everything you can think of. There is murder, romance, treason, ambitions, love, friendship and even a bit of comedy. The themes are all very interesting and make a very intriguing and interesting storyline.
I would definitely recommend this book to an older age group just because of the language. I would rate it an 8/10 for the plot and story line. It is very satisfying when you start to be able to read the language a little more easily.

I recommend the book ‘Trash’ by Andy Mulligan. At first when i saw this book i thought i wouldn’t like it but when i read the blurb it was very interesting. This book is about three boys who work at the local dumpsite and one day find something that could change their lives. This puts them in a lot of danger and forces them to go on the run. My favourite thing about this book is the whole context of it. This book is like nothing i have ever read and i really think anyone who wants a short read should definitely pick it up and start reading. My favourite part is when Olivia Weston (Sister) takes Gardo to go and get some new clothes. Gardo is so overwhelmed at the site of them all that he takes about an hour to choose one outfit. I think people from years 7-9 would most like this book.

This book is about a girl called Jenna-Bella who has everything; a big house, goes to a posh school and gets to do whatever she wants. Jenna-Bella learns the hard way that not everything just gets given to you and you have to work for what you have or it will just disappear. What i like about this book is that Jenna-Bella is so similar to me and yet she has a very different life. My favourite part is when Jenna-Bella and Will, (her brother), are sitting in the diner and are playing that game when they have to guess what everyones life is like. This book teaches us that you cant take your life for granted and you have to be grateful for what you have. I recommend this book for people ages from 12-16 because it is mostly aimed at them.

I would like to recommend I Am Number 4 the movie. It was really good and fun to watch because there was heaps of action in the movie, and was quite interesting when John uses all his powers. What I liked about the movie was all of John’s fighting scene’s because I like action and a twist of romance movies. My favourite part in the movie was when Sarah was in trouble and John came and saved her, plus he couldn’t control his powers which made it even more fascinating. My favourite characters are John because he is super strong, very talented with all of his powers and Sarah because she is capable of anything and totally gorgeous. For some reason, I can’t really relate to any of the characters because there is nothing we have in common. If I had to change something in the movie, it would have to be the story line because I honestly didn’t think it was great, but as I saw the movie, I started to like it more, and more. I would recommend this movie to the ages between 12 and 20 because I think that this movie is and should be for teenagers and young adults. I think all people would like this movie but mostly the people who like action, aliens and other planets that don’t even exist, with a bit of romance.

Through out the story he travels to the mountain where the dwarves live. at the end of the book there is a massive fight between the rebels and the evil king. This signals the start of a huge full scale, massive war that continues through the next two books. This is my favrite part in the book. I love this book because there are so many secrets and eragon and his compians are contstantly on the run from the kings troops and you never know who you can trust. my favrite charecters eragon and saphira. I like them so much because eragon is often reckless and never thinks about what he is doing. I like saphira because she is a dragon and she hates the king more than anyone else and she is dermined to stop him at all costs. I also like her because she wants to bring dragons back and to see them fly the skies of alegasia again. My rating for this book is 5 out of 5. I would recomend it to any one who likes a good fight or war between good and evil and loves to see evil getting an awsome but-kicking. If you don’t like dragons this book is NOT for you. The age group for this book is about 13+ but I read it when I was about 10 so I was in year 4. I can’t wait for the fourth and final book to come out in november.

It also had just as many good things and the balance made it flow really well. the book follows a Kittypet named rusty who very early on in the book becomes a clan cat. He has to earn the clans trust by proving that just because he was born a kittypet he has always had the heart of a warrior. There are some really villinous charecters in the book who are constly causing trouble for the clan. I don’t have a favrite charecter because they are all so unique and speical in threir own ways. It’s an animal type of book centered on cats and if you like to read some thing from an animals perspective you read this book. After reading this book I don’t think I will ever look at a cat the same way ever agian. my rating is 10 out of 10.

I love this part because good and evil are getting ready to battle it out to see who wins. My favourite character is obviously Harry Potter. This is because not only has his parents been killed by the ‘Dark Lord’ himself but he is constantly followed by the scary thought that he is never safe from the ‘Dark Lord’. I think that the most suitable for any competent readers who are up for a little adventure. This book had me hooked from the first page to the last and I stuck by Harry all the way.

The Night is for Hunting
By John Marsden
The Night is for Hunting is an incredible book in amongst an incredible series. I am in the middle of this series and it is nearly the best series I have ever read, maybe because its purely Australian but also because it is genuinely a well-written book. The war is beginning to end, but that doesn’t mean it is safe for Ellie and her friends just yet. When they thought it was just them against the enemy, they were shocked to discover a bunch of kids hiding out in Stratton similar to them. Having kids amongst their group brings surprises, challenges, laughs and hard times.
I loved this book so much, I think it was a clever idea to bring some kids into the book as I thought the group fighting was getting bit boring, but now that there are kids there are surprises around every corner.
Once again my favourite character is Ellie, she is so strong-minded and not afraid to speak for herself and go up against the boys. She shows great leadership and when the tough times come, she always walks forward with an open mind.
I definitely recommend this to anyone who has previously read the other five books and wants to continue to read the series, it is an amazing book and I can’t wait to read the final novel.
This book is probably suited for teenagers, as it has some mature themes due to the fighting that I think young adults would understand and like better. This is a great book overall, I give it a 9 out 10!

I would recommend the book ‘When You Reach Me’ by Rebecca Stead. I really enjoyed this book because it was actually one of the few books that made me keep wanting to turn the page. It nearly got me frustrated with myself because I couldn’t figure out who the mystery character was, because the author wrote it so well, which is why I loved the book. it showed me how to get readers hooked. My favourite part of the book is when the main character, Miranda, stares out the window and sees her ‘no longer best friend’ Sal playing basketball in the street. I like how it depicts that Miranda has absolutely no idea what’s happening and why Sal ditched her at that time in their life, and how the author represents what she is thinking and comprehending. The thing I didn’t really like about the book, however, was that the author gave no real clue as to who the mystery man was. My favourite character was Miranda’s newfound best friend AnneMarie, because she wasn’t afraid to be herself and give things a go. I liked her easy-going attitude to life. If I could change something about the book it would be the very basic description of one of the main character’s in the book, the crazy man by the post. I think more information was necessary. I would recommend this book to all girls at SHC from years 7- 9 who like a good mystery novel and enjoy a tale of friendship at the same time. I would recommend ‘When You Reach Me’ 9/10! Give it a go!

I recommend the book ‘the island’ for anyone who loves a good adventure. This book is about three friends who decide to go to India. The boy Otto goes to India earlier than Jen and Charlotte so he can get his grounds and tell them what they are about to be in for. While Otto is there he meets a girl and they develop a friendship overnight. Soon Otto is head over heals for her and he would do anything for her. One night Otto is about to meet up but with her but after an hour or so she doesn’t turn up. Otto doesn’t know what has happened and is very worried. He soon discovers what has happened to her and with that he goes on a quest to find a dark secret about the island. When Charlotte and Jen finally get to India they need to help Otto and prove that he is innocent. My favourite part about the book is when Charlotte and Jen first get to India and they are walking the streets. On one side they saw women sitting on boxes with little babies and on the other women in suits with briefcases. I like this because it really shows the different ways of life to live in India. I recommend this book to people of the ages 13 and up. This is because in some parts this book is very dark and twisted and people need to be able to cope with what happens. I liked this book because it is very out there and it is like nothing i have ever read before. I seriously think everyone should give this book a try and see what they think.

The Other Side of Dawn – By John Marsden
The Other Side of Dawn is an extremely captivating, exciting an overall great book that has finished of the phenomenal series Tomorrow When the War Began. I think this book was a great way to finish off such an amazing series with a few major challenges as well as little obstacles along the way. Ellie and her friends have lost some, gained others, battled through everything and still stayed strong and together throughout it all. In the last chapter of this Aussie novel, it is all or nothing for Ellie and her friends. I really enjoyed this book as although I am sad that I am finished the best series ever, I think John Marsden did an excellent job finishing the book. My favourite character was Ellie but I also love Fiona. I think these two characters are completing different but throughout this book they continue to show courage, strength and determination to win.
Overall I definitely recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a great Aussie read with much action, romance and friendship. I hope that they bring out another movie for these tremendous series as I don’t want to have to say goodbye to Ellie and her friends forever. You will be very shocked at how this series wraps up!!

My favourite part in the book is when all of Alibrandi’s family are squeezing the tomatoes and making spaghetti sauce. This is my favourite because they are all together and are all enjoying each others company and having fun. This book shows that if some people are different or have problems at home they need to do whatever they can to work them out and to find a solution for them. I recommend this book for years 8-12. I think this because these are the ages when people are the most mature and they can relate to the book the most.

She always think wonder what would happen if her mum doesn’t look stunning anymore, so people won’t compare her with her mum. When her mum has a car accident, so regret what she had said… I think this story has a sad ending because her mum was the pretty girl since she was a kid, but an accident has changed everything, she will have scars on her face and she will never look how she used to look. It’s very touching when the mum was so brave to face the fact so quickly and even convinced her children that she is fine with it even though that was the heartbreaking moment for her.

This is an amazingly addictive book which I could never put down. I recommend this book to people aged 12+. I rate this book 8.5 / 10. If you come across it, read it, I promise you won’t regret it.

I recommend the movie The Corpse Bride for mostly year sevens because maybe other year levels might find it boring but I recommend it because it is a very good movie and even though it is 6 years old it is adventurous and really mysterious. It is a bit sad near the end but thats all I am going to tell you because I would rather you watch it than have me to tell you and ruin the whole movie!!! If you decide to watch it all I am going to say is:….. HAVE FUN!!!!

the book i find the most amazing and most of you would too is Marked from the house of night series. it is catching and totally un-putdownable.
Marked takes on a new genre for the vampire race with Zoey Redbird as the main character.
she leaves her old life as a human and takes on the life of a vampire. finishing her school years at tulsa house of night.
school would be the same if it wasn’t full of vampires, hot boys and magic powers given to her by the goddess nyx.
now zoey has to accept her new life and try not to fail vampire history 101.
oh and kick some evil butt!!! hope you enjoy and read this book because i know you will love it!

I really liked the book The Vampire is just not that into you. This book is really funny and while I was reading it I realised that it might have been written after twilight and new moon………….etc…. came out because the book spoke lots about what vampires liked and it was mostly about olden (really olden) day things. Something that I found really funny was that the book told you how to have your make up, clothes and what you should say when you want to date a VAMPIRE!!!! The funny thing was that to go to a date with a vampire the book said that you have to wear corsets and all those olden day clothes and they had to be black and/or black and red.
I recommend that the library put this book on the blog for girls that after reading/watching the twilight saga wish that they want a vampire boyfriend!!!!!!! (just that vampires don’t really exist)

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
I love this heart-warming tale because it brings so much happiness, has a lot of character to it and really does make you feel like you’re in paradise in so many scenes. This movie is still very popular despite its 40 year old age and technology, and is best watched with a bowl of candy because in a lot of scenes (especially the opening one) you can’t resist the pleasure of chocolate melting inside your mouth with that unbeatable taste as you watch it being produced on screen.
If there’s one thing I really think is magical about this movie it’s the actor who played Willy Wonka, Gene Wilder. Gene Wilder naturally suits the character of Mr Willy Wonka and he is really quite special because he is so gentle and loving and has a quality not many actors these days have. He is a little quirky in a unique way and was perfect for the role.
For its age, I think Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory did pretty well with presenting the chocolate room, and in this scene you’re really taken to paradise. I’ll admit that I think the chocolate river just looks like chocolate milky water, but many other things look real enough to make you believe this place really exists like the giant lollipops and the lolly trees. There are other scenes where you can see right through the special effects or the green-screen, but because this film was made in the early 1970s, I think it’s done rather well.
Another phenomenal part of this movie is the musical side of it. The music and dancing really express the mood of the performing character and the atmosphere. I think the Oompa-Loompa songs are quite cute and funny but I believe it would have been better if the original songs from the book were used.
The five children’s characters are really well portrayed, especially Veruca Salt, and this is another quality that I think makes this film so popular.
Overall I give Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory 4.9 out of 5, because I think a few small things could be improved such as when the boat moves, it should be rocking when they go through the tunnel, but many of the characters are so lovable and this film is great for family view because children will laugh at some jokes for one reason and adults will laugh for another. This movie really does take you to another world and is such a classic, I can’t resist giving it such a high score.

I would absolutely positively recommend…………………..
Fruits Basket! It is the best book that i have ever read. They are in a series and a T.V show but the manga goes on for longer. It is based in Japan and set over all different seasons. My Favourite character is Honda San because she is easy to fall in love with and pretty. This whole series is based on one thing ….. which is the Chinese Zodiacs. The shoma family has a curse on it so we a member gets weak or is hugged by the opposite sex. You need to read the books in order from start to finish. My friends recommended this book to me and now i think it is the most borrowed book in the library because our whole class is reading it now.

I’m Not Scared- Niccoló Ammaniti
I found this mysterious book quite addictive but I found a lot of it quite hard to understand. I think the story develops quite well and I like how they introduce a lot of the characters in a scenario at the beginning, and other important people are introduced later on, so there is a balance and new people don’t keep ‘popping up’ like they do in some other books. I think the main character should be a bit older though because sometimes the way he acts isn’t of a typical nine-year old boy and tend to be too mature.
Another great thing is how well the scenes are described so you get a really good idea of how they look, and the best part about this is that there aren’t full-page descriptions of one small area, the words used give a pretty good sample so you don’t get bored having to read all these unnecessary words.
Most of the main events occur after the major one where Michele, the protagonist, accidentally makes a horrifying discovery in a very unusual place after completing a dare with his friends. Most of the story builds from here, and you ask more and more questions as it does.
I reckon the thing that really let this novel down was the ending. It was trying to touch you and left you hanging, which in some cases can be okay but in this one, too many questions were left unanswered. I think an epilogue explaining everything would have boosted the score I give this book, so I rate it 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Movie review-Titanic
Despite its age of ten years, I couldn’t get over how good and real the picture is in this romantic movie directed by James Cameron, multi-Oscar award winner. The movie is told by the main character, Rose, who, at present, is at least 90 years old, and the story she tells is of two lovers who meet on the major, luxury cruising ship, the Titanic.
I think the costume department deserves a lot of credit for the movie, because the elegant ball gowns and stunning suits really gave the upper-class of the Titanic a wealthy atmosphere, as well as the well-mannered behaviour of Rose’s class. The architecture of this part of the ship also expresses the astonishing wealth of the passengers, very traditional pillars, stair and luxurious rooms. You grow a sort of attachment to it and become familiar with the classic grandfather clock, and it gives you a point of view of how the real builders would have felt when the Titanic met its fate.
I think this is a movie that gives the best experience when watched the first time with no interruptions, because then it sticks in your mind straight after and some scenes you remember very vividly. It’s a sad, romantic tear jerker that gives you an insight to how the people on board and their emotions when they discover their life might only last a few more hours. This is definitely a movie to keep in your collection!

I recommend you read the Manga Full Moon O Sagashite.
I really loved this book, it was one of those hard to put down books! I loved it because I love reading stories about someone searching for someone or adopted children.
In this manga Mitsuki was searching for someone that she knew was dead but just wanted to see him again and thought should would be able to by becoming a singer.
My favourite part of the book would be when Takuto started to remember his past and Mitsuki told him to sing and take her life so he wouldn’t turn into a ghost.
I also LOVED the ending, it was so good. What happened in the end was exactly what I wanted to happen and it answer all my questions. It was so sweet as well.
It would be too difficult to choose between Takuto and Mitsuki for whose a better character. I love Mitsuki simply because she so nice, caring, kind and is so passionate about singing because she wants to find Eichi. I also love Takuto because even though he is supposed to take Mitsuki’s life he really likes her and doesn’t want to and he also wants to give her the chance to find Eichi even though he loves her because of this I think he is just so lovely and kind.
The book had me in tears at times but laughing at others. I was shocked and surprised as well. It was truly a great book!
Of course I would recommend you read it because you will love it!
