Suzanne Collins is at it again and had created another world to immerse yourself in.
Not Panem but the Underlands.
The new books will be available in the library very soon …
But, in the meantime why not create your very own Underland creature?
THE BOY WHO FELL DOWN EXIT 43 by Harriet Goodwin
In this book, a boy called Finn’s dad died and he was really upset about it. The dad had been teaching him to drive. Finn took the car and started driving it, but when he was driving the rain got really bad and Finn ended up crashing. As he crashed he fell into a place called the underworld, this is where the people who have died end up. His was Dad was not there as instead of going into the underworld he became a star.
When Finn got there no-one could believe a human was in the underworld. At the same time someone called Jessie from the underworld was stuck on earth. Once Jessie got back it caused water to come through. Water kills people from the underworld. Jessie and Finn end up saving the underworld by completing a very tough challenge.
I think this book fitted really well with the fantasy theme as there was strange characters and lots of potions. I think this was a good fantasy book and I wasn’t expecting it to be very good as I don’t usually like fantasy books.

The book I read was The Sleeping Sword by Michael Morpurgo. The beginning of the story was good but it got event better as the story went on! It was about a boy called Michael who goes blind and he and his father find a strange shield and sword on their farm grounds. He has a visit from a ghost who says he has to go give King Arthur his sword back, Michael doesn’t understand how he can do this as the king is dead but he does what he is told. He finds King Arthur with his best friend’s sister who he has a mad crush on! And is cured of his blindness!!!
In this book you find out that Michael is an adventurous boy. It is not too long and is quite easy to read and you could follow along with the story no problem. The description throughout the book is good. The book was good and I would recommend it too anyone who likes short fantasy books.

The book I read was The Wind Singer and it was a really good example of fantasy because there was lots of magic and made up people. It started in a city called Aramanth where Kestrel and Bowman live in a district called Orange. Endless exams and ratings are the only way forward after the Morah took over. However Kestrel wasn’t having any of it and runs away from everything and ends up at the top of the highest tower in Aramanth its self. She bangs on the door and a small grey-haired, old man answers the door, wearing a blue cloak (the only person who can wear blue is the emperor.)

So he tells Kestrel to go on a quest to destroy the Zars. She does so with the help of her twin brother Bowman and their school mate- Mumpo – and eventually the wind singer sings again.
I enjoyed this book because it was a good example of fantasy and kept me on the edge of my seat!
