King of Nothing
Here is a short summary of the book: Anton is the King of Year 9. He's the bad boy of his South London secondary school, feared and respected partly because his dad is inside. But when his mum makes him join the Happy Campers, a local activity group, he ends up making friends with Matthew, the biggest loser in school. I like the book as it tells you not to judge a book by its cover and that nerds aren't a thing, they are just left out and sometime bullied.

Treacle Town
Connor O'Neil (the main character) is stuck with gang violence which he is desperate to get away from. I think this book was a good read and I would recommend it to others. I thought treacle town was written well and the language fitted the scenarios.

George

King of Nothing
'Dreams are for Martin Luther King. I don't need none of that. I'm king of the school, already living my best life.' I like this quote because it shows that he doesn't need nothing and he thinks he is living until the school nerd saves his life. This shows him that even though he has his 'mandem', he can still make friends with everyone else without being a nuisance. I think this book is five stars!

King of Nothing
This book is really interesting and relatable. It shows the real struggles of life, and peer pressure. It describes how people can change to be a better person. It also shows an amazing example of what teenagers should be like. Personally, I think this is a 5 star book!!

King of Nothing
This book was so interesting it made me think about school in general, this turned Anton in to a respectful boy who started focus on his GCSES, Anton has just got an detention and his mum called and the WIFI was turned off but to get it back on he has to change his behavior so he is sent to happy campers. To find that the most nerd in school Matthew is there. The happy campers had invited Anton for a camping trip. So he is stuck with Matthew for the whole trip but Matthew help him and Anton wants to help him back so he tries to help him become cool!
