One of My Favourite Books.
Von Gobstopper's Arcade by Alexandra Adornetto.

[]

In memory of Milli and Ernest's bravery a genious toymaker ( Von Gobstopper) builds a toy arcade for the rest of the children and themselves. Though once entering the arcade there is a certain sadness about the place. Milli and Ernest soon realise that they have come across a master plan of evil to get rid of the existance of children...

This book is adventure/fantasy.

I absolutely loved this book, not only was the author inspiring as she had her first book published at 15, but the whole story line was eventful and exciting. It is the final book of an amazing trilogy based around two children and their weird, unusual adventures. This book was my favourite of the three mainly because of the theme and storyline and I couldn't put it down. I definately reccomend it!!!!!!!!!



I would give it a 9/10!!!!!!!!

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.
[]

In the time of Hitler, Liesel Meminger recently loses her brother and she soon finds her first book, the gravediggers handbook. This spiralls off into her love of books and collecting them. In her foster family she is given love and a somewhat happy childhood, but things chan as her family is hiding a Jew from the rest of the world and their opinions. This story shows the struggle her and her family went through to fight for justice.

This book is about struggle/grief and it is a adult fiction.

This book was immensly interesting, the way the author wrote about their struggle and adventures was inspiring. It was a tough read but it was definately worth it. I reccomend this if you would like a challenging read and if you would like to find out what life was like in this period of time. I give this book a 9/10!!!!!

This book is a mystery/drama.

I picked up this book and thought it would be just a plain boring book but it turned out to be amazing. From the blurb it seemed a lot like twilight but it wasn't. I loved it. There was action, love and so many adventures. I definately reccomend it !!

I give this book an 8 and a half/10!!!!!

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling
Harry Potter is in his last year at hogwarts. So many things have happened over his time here and they are all leading up to now. Dumbledore has left him a quest, and together with Ron and Hermione, Harry will face his biggest challenge yet.

This book is action/fantasy.

I absoluetly love this book, I believe it is the best of the series. There is so much going on with all the war and magic, it is absolutely amazing. I deeply reccomend it for somone looking for a non-putting down put. I have read it twice throughout my life and I have learnt so much. The way J.K. Rowling writes is mezmorizing. The books at as fantastic as the movies.

I give this book a 20/10 it is that great!!!!!!!!!!

Ballet Shoes by Noel Streatfeild

Pauline who has a passion for acting, Petrova who loves engines, cars and plains and the youngest Posy who only came with a pair of ballet shoes, embrace this artist opportunity. This is a story of their childhood to adolesance, their passions and thier lifelong ambitions.

This book is a book set in the early 20th century an has a genre of old fashioned drama/the arts.

I loved this book. It is very old fashioned and it is quite peaceful. So if you are looking for a relaxing books then this is for you! Ballet shoes is wonderfully beautiful and it shows that not all stories have to be about killings/adventures and war.

Absolutely wonderful!! I give this book an 8/10 !!!!

Pretty Little Liars By Sara Shepard
There were 5 best friends, Allison, Hanna, Aria, Spencer and Emily. That was until that one night when Allison disappeared. The now 4 best friedns went their separate ways until mysteriously, they all start getting text messages from A. These messages were of their secrets that only one person knew, Allison. This is a story about 4 girls who find themselves in a creepy situation and how they deal with the return of their distant past.

This book is definately a drama/mystery. You will be on the edge of you seats wanting to find out what happens next.

This book (the first of its series) is absoluetly amazing!!!! I love it. It is defiantely mysterious and it keeps you guessing the whole way through it. If anyone has seen, it was turned into a tv show last year which was just as good. It deals with mysterious deaths and it is defiantely dealing with secrets, secrets that can come back to haunt you. I absolutely reccomend it if you are looking for a creepy, modern day drama!!!!



I LOVED IT!!!!! I give it a 9 and a half out of 10!!!!!
