 ~ By Michael Morpurgo ~

The scene is set in China where young Ashley Anderson is forced to leave his beloved father to flee from the Japanese Invasion. Him and his Uncle set off across the Himalayas and have to try to survive the wilderness as best they possibly can. 

During his adventure, Ashley experiences capture, pain and a mystery meeting with a group of strange individuals.

I would recommend this book for its great descriptions of nature and the wilderness. There is also a mystery to be solved, and will it be?

The Twits By Roald Dahl

This book is one of the most funniest books I've read!  This book is about the two horrible Mrs and Mr Twit!  In the story Mrs and Mr do lots of pranks on each other the first one was the glass eye prank, Mrs. Twit, as if to have Mr. Twit know that she is always watching him, places her glass eye in Mr. Twits beer to scare him and with her back facing Mr. Twit, she says that he was plotting. Mr. Twit get angry at Mrs. Twit so what he does in revenge is putting a alive frog in Mrs. Twits bed! There are more funny pranks that they do, read the book to find out!

Mr. Twit is a horrible person, having hair that covers his entire face, with the exception of his forehead eyes, and nose. His hair is spiky and hard. Because he never washes it, his beard holds scraps of food dropped there while he ate, including tinned sardines, Stilton cheese, and corn flakes. He licks these scraps out and eats them. Instead of wiping his mouth with a cloth, Mr. Twit simply wipes it on his sleeve. Mr Twit is a beer drinker – even drinking at breakfast. He is known to seem very quiet when he is plotting evil tricks, the victim of which is usually his equally unpleasant wife. He and his wife mistreat their monkeys.

Mrs. Twit is the hideously ugly, menacing wife of Mr. Twit, whose former beauty was distorted as a result of constant horrible thoughts over time. She takes advantage of her glass eye to play practical jokes in revenge against her husband. However, aside from this, she is portrayed as being hideous and unhygienic.

I think girls and boys of my age would like this book and even some adults would find it funny!  I definitely would recommend this book!

Give Peas A Chance by Morris Gleitzman

This story has many different characters from Misery Guts, Blabber Mouth, Second Childhood, Belly Flop, Adults Only, Teacher's Pet, Worm Story and Aristotle's Nostril, all written by Morris Gleitzman.  It includes different stories, including a story about a boy called Macques who feels sad because of his name.

The main story is about a boy named Ben who goes on strike and, because of this, he refuses to eat vegetables, which he used to enjoy. The reason is because he saw innocent children being killed.

Soon, all of the world's children were going on strike, and immediately countries began destroying their weapons. The USA was last, and they broke promises, but finally decided they had to because their culture would be ruined if kids continued to not eat McDonald's.

Soon after all weapons were removed, though, the USA used vegetables to invade a country. Since Ben's parents declared that if Ben didn't eat his vegetables, he would receive his old vegetables for the next day's dinner, they immediately began taking a chunk of Ben's vegetables and eating them because they thought it was disgusting that the USA were using veggies to invade a country.

Private Peaceful is a heart breaking

book about a soldier called Thomas

"Tommo" Peaceful who is looking back on

his life in world war one when he

fought in the trenches in Belgium

along side his brother Charlie Peaceful.

I would really recommend this book to people who are interested in the war because Tommo experiences all the horrors of the first world war from gas attacks to crawling from trench to trench under heavy fire.There is also a part at the start where it shows you just how hard you have to work when you leave school to earn a living.
