Little Bang
It was a very informative book. It showed the actual truth of teen pregnancy and not just how stereotypes name them. It showed the suffering of both sides of the parents and not just one. I liked how Mel finally understood what she wanted and did what she wanted, even if it hurt, instead of waiting for the adults to settle everything. I also liked how Sid wanted to help Mel no matter what even if he had to work extra. It was a very good book about abortion and teen pregnancy.

Letters in Charcoal
It was a really intresting book. It truly showed how there are people who only learned to read when they grew up instead of learning it when they were younger, it shows how no one should ever take education for granted when other people truly want to learn. I liked the fact about how the girl was determined to read no matter how hard it is! I really liked how the girl just did it voluntarily without someone needing to ask her. It was a really nice book and I reckon more people should read it. It was a very nice book! :)

The Invisible Story
It was such a sweet illustrated book. i really liked it. Even though the majority of books are filled with colours and words flowing endlessly some books need to also have blank pages filled with invisible joys that could only be read through the fingertips. I love how the book thought it was nothing but the right person was just needed to prove that thought wrong! I enjoyed this book, it was so nice it really filled me with joy knowing that even though some people may not have the ability to see they still have the super power none of us have! reading with their fingertips. It sounds so mind blowing! I loved this book a lot! :)

Wolf and Bear
I enjoyed this book! It showed how people (bears in this case) may go through hard times and it only takes a beautiful song to cheer someone up. I also liked how the wolf never gave up trying to cheer up the bear, it was true friendship (one that will never get broken). I really loved how at the end even though the bear did not want to play the wolf still respected that and followed his wish, it was such a wholesome book. I really loved this book!

I Love Books
Veryyyyyyyy truthful! I felt like the main character was basically me (everyone hated books at one point). I loved how the shift in interest was so big, like one moment 'oh books are not my thing..' and the other 'oh! books ARE my thing!' It feels nice to know that someone went through that phase. The illustrations were also very nice! I loved how their interest in books somehow showed on their face! I loved this book!

Grey
It was a very comforting book, I like how it spoke about feeling 'grey' on some days. It was very nice how it said that no matter how anyone felt they should still be loved because no one is supposed to be happy every day and all day. I really loved how it described feeling grey as in there is nothing inside you because every once in a while people feel that. I really liked the book :)

Clever Crow
I liked this book loadsssssss! It contained lots of information about crows and how they are so much like us. It made me really want to learn more about them, (And made me want to spot more of them anywhere I go). Every crow is smart and it is just cool to think about! Crows are amazing :).

Flying High
I loved this book! It was very nice, it encourages people to be themselves and not to think they should be a particular way or look. Everyone was born unique and I love how the book says embrace it. I really loved this book and I reckon everyone, whether young or old, should read it all!

Treacle Town
It was a mix of many things all at once. It was a harsh start but it got even sadder as the story went along. It was like a roller coaster in a way, every tragic thing has a little happy thing that happens after it. The main character suffered through alot but it was a good perspective to see through for a while. I liked how his relationship got better as time passed. I really liked this book.

Play
This book was more than just a book. It proved to me that young people will do anything for fun whether it is illegal or not and they would come to the realisation of what they've done far too late. This book showed me the struggle of getting pressured into getting involved with any sort of drugs. I personally liked how we get a different perspective each chapter. The characters' backgrounds felt so real it felt like they were actual living people. The ending was very upsetting but I liked how Johnny felt and saw many things at the end. I loved the fact that the very last line of the book was also at the very start of the book. I really reallllyyyyyyyy liked this book!

Glasgow Boys
I was blown away by this book. The way the perspectives changed and we always got to know the other side of the story was amazing. The way the characters slowly told the people they trusted about their past was wonderful. The way Finlay and Banjo finally met after 3 years was long awaited and I could happily close the book because of its happy ending (doesn't happen a lot). This book was amazing, I loved the way the characters revealed their secrets to their trusted people. This book was brilliant. :)

The Things We Leave Behind
This book was a sad one but truly teaches about real life problems. It was hard reading through it and sad at the same time but it was really engrossing. The responsibilities Clem had to carry throughout the book were sad, and the fact she never knew if she was going to survive the next trip to somewhere safer was even sadder. Even though her life will never return to its normal state it is nice that she started once again to live a life where she feels safe. :)

All That It Ever Meant
This book has put me through so many emotions at once like no other. It was amazingly written, amazingly described, amazingly presented and it is amazing. Every single chapter was so good that my hands refused to put the book down. It was truly wonderful. Every character had a role and every character had a story. I loved this book more than any other. The twist at the end was jaw dropping. This book is amazing.

King of Nothing
I loved the book a TON. it wasn't only addictive but it was also the best. I loved everything in it, how Anton changes his ways and how his life goes through a whole entire roller coaster. This shows me that anyone can change. This book was hilarious, some times I laughed too hard and hurt my ribs (it was the best). I loved everything in it and felt sad when he suffered a loss. This was an amazing book.

The Final Year
This book felt as if I travelled through a different world. I felt everything Nate felt and saw everything he did. It felt nice and comforting to read aswell as it feeling reassuring. Nate went through alot but it's okay because..Every little thing gonna be alright!
