Review From:

My name is Malachy. Terrific Trains is a good fun book. I like it because although not everyone can read it a few people can. I can’t read all of it yet. But I think it is a very good book with all the different types of trains. Also because it has all the stuff that trains use and you know a lot abouT them. Like at the end it tells you loads of stuff that the trains use.

Dork Diaries: Drama Queen

Review From:
Monaghan
I loved this book but again reading another dork diary book Mackenzie really annoyed me, she literally stole Nikki's diary. Reading the stuff Mackenzie wrote in Nikki's diary further heightened my belief that she is just an insecure girl but is also a big hypocrite. Mackenzie was a total drama queen! Overall this book was so good and I had fun reading it!

Review From:
Monaghan
I thought this book was very good and I especially enjoyed it because I had just read Holes and this was a type of sequel about Armpit and X-Ray. In this book and also in Holes I didn't really like X-Ray. In holes I I didnt like some things that he did. And in small steps I felt that he shouldn't have associated himself with someone who had also been in a correctional facility as it might lead you to bad things with them and cause more trouble so when he reached out to Armpit I questioned that a lot but overall I really enjoyed this book.

The Adventures of Captain underpants

Dav pilkey

Review From:
Cork
This book is 10 out of 10. There are 11 more books in the Captain underpants series. Book 12 is my favourite. Dav Pilkey books are also 10 out of 10 anyway my favourite part is when George, Harold and Captain underpants pass a litte boy and his mum. The little boy is awestruck to see a superhero in his undies with two random little boys. So I hope that gave you some useful information. It's a big thumbs up from me and I can't wait to see what Dav Pilkey comes up with next!

Review From:

This book is brilliant! As it is the last in the 10 book murder most unladylike series I would recommend reading a few others before this one. Daisy, Hazel, Amina, Alexander and George are taking a ship to Egypt!

On their first night they wake up to a horrific scream. They’re fellow passenger is dead! Everyone points to her daughter Heppy who is known to sleepwalk. The most obvious assumption is that she killed her mother in her sleep, but how could that possibly be if Heppy is locked in her cabin? Together they must find out what happened before the ship docks at Aswan.

This book is brilliant! If you love mystery or are interested in spies this books for you! Its set in the 1800s and its about to girls who work for the English government. They’re spies too! They have to stop their enemies from getting a notebook which contains plans to make a very powerful weapon, whilst protecting the princess and prince soon to be king of Arnovia from getting kidnapped.
