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. 

Gangsta Granny by David Walliams, Reviewed by Samuel Tsang

      I really enjoyed reading Gangsta Granny.  It is the fourth book that I read from the David Walliams collection.  It tells a story of a boy called Ben who loved plumbing and was forced to stay to stay with his boring Granny every Friday while his parents were away to ballroom dancing shows.  Granny always cooks cabbage foods which Ben hated and played scrabble all the time.

One day, Ben was shocked to see his Grandma smash through a window of a jewel shop and steal some jewels!  Ben tailed her to reveal that his boring granny was in fact  a real Gangsta.  His relation with his Grandma started to improve as he learned the secrets of her other life.

Read the book to find out how they venture to steal the crowns jewels.   A very funny and hilarious story.

Demon Dentist by David Walliams

Demon Dentist by David Walliams is a very strange book.  It's about a dentist who actually is the Tooth Witch and a boy who defeats her. The main characters are Alfie, a boy who has not been to the dentist since he was six. Dad, Alfie's dad who used to be a coal miner but digging so deep effected his lungs and he suddenly collapsed on the ground and the he was evacuated to the hospital and the doctor told him never to go down a mine again. Winnie, a social worker who is very fat, wears multicolored clothes all the time and cannot say the 'th' sound. She says 'teet' instead of teeth. Miss Root a dentist who is secretly the Tooth Witch and her Cat, Fang.

Alfie's dentist died so Miss Root replaced him and she likes kids to call her 'Mummy'. Miss Root made her own toothpaste called Mummy Likes Your Teeth which burns right through stone. So it's basically toxic waste. Miss Root loves to have children come to her surgery for dental issues because she takes out all of their teeth and that happened to Alfie so he got a set of false teeth. When little kids put their tooth under their pillow hoping for the tooth fairy to come and leave a penny under their pillow, they find a cockroach, an eyeball, a bunch of centipedes, basically all the gross stuff. Miss Root is secretly the Tooth Witch and she uses the teeth she steals to build her lair in the old coal mine.

In the end Alfie discovers the lair of the tooth witch and the the witch finds him and tries to dump him in a cauldron full of 'Mummy Likes Your Teeth' but the Alfie's dad comes and saves him and dumps the witch in the cauldron but Alfie's dad had trouble breathing in the mine and when he got out he died and his funeral was the next day. On Alfie's dad's funeral Raj was the first one to burst into tears and Alfie was left as an orphan but Winnie asked if she could adopt Alfie and she was allowed. Five weeks later Winnie gets married but to who? It turns out it was Raj. Now Alfie had a stepdad who owns a candy shop! He had all the candy in the world!

I really liked this book because it had many made-up words, for example: 'headmasterishly'
it was really funny and I hope you guys will like it.
