The Book of Doom by Barry Hutchison

There’s panic up in Heaven. They have mislaid the Book of Doom – the most important object in existence. Oopsy. They think Satan might have stolen it, the sneaky little devil, so to save the world – plus, you know, quite a lot of embarrassment, fifteen year old Adam and his angelic guide Angelo are sent to retrieve it.

I really enjoyed this book. There are lots of details and it’s really funny. I would really recommend this book. J (S2) *****

The 13th Horseman by Barry Hutchison

13-year-old Drake is quite surprised to find the Horsemen of the Apocalypse hanging out in his garden shed. He’s even more surprised when they ask him to join them. At first he is reluctant to join them and help usher in the Armageddon but it soon becomes clear that to save his life Drake will have to become death.

Amazing story, great ending. M (S1) *****

The World of Norm: May Contain Nuts by Jonathan Meres

Norm knew it was going to be one of those days when he woke up and found himself about to pee in his dad’s wardrobe. Why on Earth did his family have to move, anyway? In their old house he’d never tried to pee in anything other than the toilet. And when Norm is in bed, he’s kept awake by his dad snoring like a rhinoceros!

I really enjoyed this book and found it quite funny.  It was easy to follow. I would recommend this book to a friend.  M (S2) *****

Diary of a wimpy kid: The last straw

Greg’s dad, Frank, is on a mission – a mission to make this wimpy kid, well, less wimpy. All manner of ‘manly’ physical activities are planned, but Greg just about manages to find a way out of them. That is until military academy is mentioned and Greg realizes that he’s going to have to come up with a very special excuse.

This book is not as good as Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules but it is still a really good book to read. MG (S2) *****

Diary of a wimpy kid: Rodrick rules by Jeff Kinney

It’s a brand-new year and a brand-new journal and Greg is keen to put the humiliating (and secret!) events of last summer firmly behind him. But someone knows everything – someone whose job it is to most definitely not keep anything embarrassing of Greg’s private – his big brother, Rodrick.

It was funny and I think everyone should read it. MG (S2) *****

The Illmoor Chronicles: The Yowler Foul-up by David Lee Stone

A terrible sect has arisen is Dullitch: they’re dark, they’re deadly and they’re even more hell bent on the destruction of the city than the citizens themselves. All that stands between total chaos and the return of the dark gods are Duke Modeset (who doesn’t like the place anyway), Jereth Obegarde (a vampire on his Mother’s side) and Jimmy Quickstint (who is about to do the WRONG favour for the WRONG man). This is a thrilling story of darkness and destiny, where the brave step forward…and fall over.

Its the best book I’ve ever read and would love to read it again. PW (S1) *****

The Robe of Skulls by Vivian French

“All is not well in the crumbling castle high above the mountain village of Fracture. The sorceress Lady Lamorna has her heart set on a new robe. It is a very expensive new robe. To get the cash she will stop at nothing, including kidnapping, blackmail and more than a little black magic. But she reckons without the heroic Gracie Gillypot, not to mention a gallant if rather scruffy prince, two chatty bats, the wickedest stepsister ever, a troll with a grudge – and some very Ancient crones.”

A great book with three very funny stories. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys books about witches. *****
