Forbidden Island Malcolm Rose Novel, Thriller Rated 5/5 12/3/12

When they see animal skeletons and blown up test tubes on a Island they realize somethings going on. The Island is getting more and more mysterious. They find out from an old notebook and the horrible truth is revealed. Will they be the next victims of the horrible happenings.

__ Personal Response __ This book is one of my favourite books, it's gripping and makes you want to keep turning the pages. When everything starts happening it slowly becomes sad. I don't want to give it away but if you don't like sad stories you might find the ending a bit unpleasant. I would recommend this for a year7 or 8 on-wards. This is a very good book. I would read it anytime.

The Tooth Book By Theo Lesieg Poem Book Rated 1/5 4/4/12

Plot A boy goes round to find out about teeth. He finds out that most land animals have teeth but some sea animals don't. He discovers that you only have 2 sets of teeth and if you lose them you get no more.

Personal Response I rated this book 1/5 because to me this book is quite boring but a little kid would probably love it. I would recommend this book for a little kid. This is similar to dr. suess books and it also ryhmes. The pages are very colourful so little kids would find it wonderful. So maybe I would rate I 4/5.
