Harris Academy Purley: Loan Stars

Wolf Siren
Summary: Red lives with her mum, brother and sister and has spent her whole life being told to fear the woods around the village. When her cycle starts she begins to discover the inner truth of the woods. Character description: Delana: Red's best friend - trustworthy and reliable. Red's mum: She lives in denial and is fearful. Mr Wilson: He's pompous and highly values his family name and old traditions. Ms. Burberry: She's kind to Red Coragh: Woodcutter being punished for not marrying the mayor. Knows Red's family secret. I read this book in the mornings, at breaktime, before bed...I loved it. I enjoyed reading a story told from the perspective of someone with limited sight. It gave me a completely different perspective and I couldn't judge the characters on how they looked but on how they behaved. I thought it was full of suspense and although I didn't like the ending because it was sad, it did show closure. I give it 5 stars out of 5.

Not Going To Plan
I couldn't stop reading this book and I loved the ending. A short summary: Marnie goes to a party and has a one-night-stand with a boy who deceives her into thinking he used protection. She gets pregnant. Her friends find out and help her and she has an abortion. Then she tells her mum who is supportive and helps Marnie resolve the situation. Marnie takes her GCSEs. The main characters include: Marnie, who's good at Spanish and Art but bad at Physics; Zed, who's bad at Spanish but good at Physics and Maths; Jessica, a bully, and Jessica's boyfriend, Harry. I feel like the themes in this book are about freedom and bravery. It educates the reader about their sexual rights. The ending was euphoric and a real release of tension. I would give this book 5 stars out of 5.
