Isaac- Skullduggery Unpleasant by Derek Landy – A skeleton detective and his adventures trying to stop the apocalypse occurring. Very interesting vocabulary.
Year 4
Theseus - Indigo - The Ickabog by J.K. Rowling - I liked that it was very adventurous when they were searching for the Ickabog. I also enjoyed the fact that there was a little bit of magic in the story, it made it more exciting. I would definitely recommend this book to other children that like the Harry Potter books!
Achilles - Alex - Land of Roar by Jenny McLachlan - It's an excellent adventure book about two children, Arther and Rose, who go on lots of amazing adventures together. The get into lots of sticky situations but always find a solution to every problem the encounter. The vocabulary is incredible, and I will be stealing some of it to use in my writing. The good news is that there is also a follow up, which I have just started to read. I highly recommend this book.
Heracles - Dillan - Way of the Warrior Kid by Jocko Willink - I would recommend this book as it teaches you discipline, how to stand up to bullies and not be afraid.
Odysseus - Carolyn - The last chance hotel by Nicki Thornton - I like this book because it is full of magic, murder and mystery.

Hurricanes – Issie – Unbirthday by Liz Braswell - I really like this book and my favourite character is Alice because she is adventurous and looks like she will be fun to be around. I would recommend this book to anyone and in particular to Nyla because we have similar taste in books, and I think he will love it.
Lancasters – Bobby - Cowboy Pug by Laura James - This is a very good book because all the characters face adventures and obstacles which I like to read about. My favourite character is Pug because he is the goofiest and funniest character. I would recommend this book to dog lovers and animal lovers.
Spitfires - Sophie – Wonder by R. J. Palacio - I like the book Wonder because each chapter is from a different perspective. My favourite character is August because even though he doesn't look like everyone else he still keeps going and doesn't let anything knock him down.
Defiants - Chloe - Blended by Sharon M. Draper - My favourite book is blended because the book shows how the girl struggles in life and people who read the book might take inspiration in how she copes in the book. The book is about a girl named Isabella who has parents who are from different backgrounds. She tries to find herself, and to understand is she is black or white. She learns about how it doesn't matter what you look like, but it matters to care and that is why this is my favourite book.
