King of Nothing
'King of Nothing' is an amazing story,its title is such a well thought out title as we learn why it is King of Nothing. We go through a rollercoaster of Anton questioning his ideals again and again, trying to uphold his title of the King of School but as the book progresses his eyes are opened to realise by his real friends and family that reputation isn't everything. His first real friend who he thinks is a loser at the start but starts correcting himself that he isn't a loser he's just a loner. After Matthew saves him from the grasps of death ,he starts hanging with Matthew more and more and realises what a true friend is and he is able to escape the painful grasps of his former friends and their sexist un-developed ways. As he starts progressing towards his GCSEs he realises that having a reputation at school is nothing,being the king of school means nothing in his future life.The impact on this book of young people would be immense since it explores the concepts of friendships and reputation, making young people realise and see that your school reputation means nothing in the long run,it will not help you with getting a job or your GCSEs and you should focus on your future and your relationships with friends and family.

Play
'Play' follows four boys as they grow older and face the challenges that come with it, we get to see each one of the boys as they face their challenges in their own unique ways. the book hopes to tackle problems teenagers face and gives perspective on teenagers and the pitfalls that may happen to them. the novel is realistic in their approach and doesn't hold back its punches when it comes to depicting trauma. the book's realism approach doesn't personally appeal to me however I can still see how someone would like this book. Overall i would give this book a 7/10

Grey
I really enjoyed the book! The illustrations are good as the colours fill up the drawings. I loved at the end it was all colourful and at the start she is sad and grey. The colours opened a different world with colour, showing she wasn't in a world just grey. But it was okay to feel that way.
