In 6th class we read our own novels as well our class novel. Here are some book reviews that we wrote this term
What’s Your Problem? By Sherry Ashworth – Reviewed by Maral
When Jac starts at Markfield she finds that fitting in isn’t quite as easy as she had thought. She gets on the wrong side of streetwise Lisa and her gang. They’re determined to make Jac’s life a misery. Struggling to make sense of what is happening to her, Jac knows she can’t put up with the bullying any longer. She must find a way to beat the bullies, but how? I think it’s a really good book. It is suitable for 11-13 year olds.
Sleep Overs by Jacqueline Wilson – Reviewed by Kellie
I thought Sleep Overs was very good because it was interesting. Any time I tried to put it down I just couldn’t! Different things kept happening every few pages. The only thing that I didn’t like about it was that I would get lost at the start of a chapter but when I’d read on I’d know what was happening. I enjoyed when they’d stay in each others houses and tell stories. It was very surprising when Kim said bad stuff about Chloe’s sister. I would read this book many more times. It is suitable for 8yrs+.
Storm Catchers by Tim Bowler – Reviewed by Natalie
Fin is devastated when his sister Ella gets kidnapped while he is supposed to be babysitting her. The family try to figure out why somebody would take Ella. Family secrets are discovered as Fin, his brother Sammy and his parents try to find Ella. I liked this book a lot because it was interesting and easy to follow. I would recommend it to 12 and 13yr olds.
The Good Liar by Gregory McGuire– Reviewed by Annmarie
Three students write to Mr. Delarue aboutWorld War 2. In this book Mr. Delarue tells them about how hard times were during the War. His father had to leave the family. He was visited by their snobby Uncle Anton who brought along the Cauverian family to hide from the Germans. Mr. Delarue told them of the lack of food during was times. Later in the story the children meet a German soldier whom they called Monsieur Soldier. Read this book to find out more about the trouble Fat Marcel, Rene and Pierre get into. Learn about some places in France like Mont-Saint- Martin. The Delarues also tell lies!!! It’s brilliant.
