Also a little something about the book. I wish I could say more but it will take me forever. If you have any comments or suggestions on books or my reviews please do not hesitate to comment on this page.


 * Holes - Written by Louis Sachar. This is probably one of my favourite books. I really enjoyed this book because it tells more than one story at the same time. It is the story of Stanley Yelnats (His name is the same spelt backwards) and his family curse. He is always in the wrong place at the wrong time. He ends up at Camp Green Lake where they have to dig a hole five feet deep and five feet wide each day. But what are they digging for? Read and find out. There is also a movie entitled Holes which is good to watch.
 * Private Peaceful - Written by Michael Morpurgo. It is a war story about the two Peaceful brothers Charlie and Thomas. Something happens that causes the younger brother Thomas to think back about his life. It springs back from past to present. It really touched me. A must read!!!!
 * See Ya Simon - Written by David Hill. One of the saddest books I have ever read. The story of Simon told by his best friend Nathan. Simon is one ordinary kid with one exception. He has a disease that causes his muscles to weaken until he just dies The 2 friends continue to have good times as Simon gets weaker and weaker. Simon is very funny and is inspiring. Brilliant!
 * Castaway - Written by Bill O'Brien. A My Story Book. And a true story. A young boy Sam (He isn't real) gets shipwrecked with some of his shipmates on Disappointment Island. It tells about how they survived, the fears they had to overcome and how it changed them. Excellent book.
