Lord of the Flies: The Graphic Novel
This book was really fun to read! I had to read the original one first - it didn't make much sense. This book helped me understand what Lord of the Flies was about, even if it were a bit gory... I still love it!
Amelia
Wildful
I love this book! Not only does it show how the adolescence find fun NOT on screens, but in the creation of friendship and exploring. I like how at the end, the mum is finally encouraged to join the two friends to venture into the wild.

This book is a really good book. It shows how people have to struggle to achieve peace, and that is what I like about this book; that they go on this great journey to then become safe.

Freedom Braids
This book is really enjoyable to read. I like how it is that they all live in peace, and connect with their hairstyles. It is really heart-warming.

The Sleeper Train
This book was nice. I liked how it was a large family on a train based on SLEEPING. I LOVE SLEEPING!!
Amelia
Wiggling Words
I love this book! I love how the boy just makes a world out of words, despite not being able to read very well. The illustrations really show this clearly. It is a great book!
Amelia
The Paper Bridge
I love the illustrations in this book - they are so colourful, and really explain the story, but the illustrations slightly distracted me from the actual text in the book...
Amelia
The Playdate
This book had some nice illustrations, but the context is not too clear. I think that it is because the translations weren't as good as the original in a different language...
Amelia
Birdie
This book is quite enjoyable. I like how the author did an "Olden Day" sort of book, instead of "Modern Day". I also find that I enjoyed reading Birdie's backstory; it felt really sad, and I feel sorry for her. In general, this book was fun to read.

Amelia
Chronicles of a Lizard Nobody
This book was really fun to read! I liked the fact that there were giant robots near the end, and that all the hall monitors were the same species/animal. My favourite part was probably the fight between Zeke and Ms Pfister!

Twenty Four Seconds from Now
Twenty Four Seconds From Now is an amazing book about a teenage boy who tells the reader about the key stages of his relationship with his girlfriend and in his family life. It is a very good book that is perfect for teenagers and young adults. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for something different and out of the ordinary to read.

Ghostlines
This book was a great read. At points, it was hard to figure out what was going on, and I didn't really know who Moses was at the start. Other that that, I found this book really enjoyable and fun to read!
Amelia
Popcorn
This book was fun to read. I liked how the author took us on a journey of the main character for that very day, and how it goes very very wrong. Generally, it is a really nice book, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
