The grump
By Gwen Pascoe; illustrated by Rick Amor
This book is a book about a grumpy boy. What I don't like about this story is cause the boy is very grumpy. I liked the end of the story cause the boy learns to be polite. The characters are the boy and his mum and dad. The grump. A grump game to breakfast. He grumbled his toast. What a grumbly grump. He grouch at his eggs what a grouchy grump. He grunted at his family what a grunty grump.

Sunset of the Sabertooth (Magic treehouse)
By Mary Pope-Osborne
The characters in this story are Annie and Jack. The part that I liked about this book was the part when the sorcerer gave them the gift. The part I didn't like was when I read that the ice age people trapped and killed animals.

Demons of the ocean (Vampirates; book one)
By Justin Somper 
A never before seen idea. The cover of the book is intriguing with a fantastic story to tell inside.
The characters have a myterious aura to them hiding in them many secrets yet to be unveiled. Grace is instictive and smart whilst Conner is a natural athlete. A must read for anyone seeking a dismal yet awe-inspiring adventure. An absoulute thriller and great adventure. Definitely not recomended for the faint hearted.
