Book Review: White Fang, by Jack London
White Fang is a story of survival, and trust. It is also a story of love and companionship. White Fang is a great story and Jack London writes about what it is really like to be out in the harsh, lonely world with no one to trust and no one on which to rely.
I enjoyed the way the book began but I would be hesitant to recommend it to younger children as White Fang is subjected to acts of cruelty early on in the book.
I liked the style of writing and the way Jack London shows the different aspects of humanity. Through it all I was rooting for White Fang to beat the odds and survive.
I really enjoyed the book and I would recommend it to Year 6 pupils.
Can you recommend a book to the class? Please give your reasons for your choice and tell us a little about the story.

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett
For children 10+
The Secret Garden is a magical tale of friendship and overcoming self doubt.
Mary Lennox arrives in England from India after the death of her parents. She has been used to having servants, so her new life at Misselthwaite Manor is quite a challenge as she has to learn to do things for herself. She befriends Dickon, who can charm animals and speak their languages, and Colin who hasn’t been outside since he was born.
Mary discovers a garden behind a curtain of ivy and she and her new friends bring it back to life.
I really liked the style of writing as the author uses some unusual words. I had to look some of them up in the glossary at the back.
I particularly enjoyed the personification in the animals and how much they behaved like young children!
I would recommend this book to you if you enjoy mysterious feeling stories and like nature.
I would give this book 5 stars! *****
The BFG by Roald Dahl
Age 8+
The BFG a tale of friendship and adventure about a big friendly giant and curious orphan child called Sophie. It all began when Sophie saw the 25 foot tall BFG blowing dreams into a house and sped of to the wonderful world of whizzpops, snozzcumbers and 12 bloodthirsty giants.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
5 STARS
I love Roald Dahl’s way of creating made up words to enhance his stories. I found that my favourite part of the story is when the BFG whizzpopped – it made me laugh!!! Read this if you like magical and fantastical adventures!
Book: The 91-Storey Treehouse
Author: Andy Griffiths
Illustrator: Terry Denton
This amazing book is about two friends Andy and Terry (the author and illustrator) who are looking after the grandchildren of their publisher, Mr Big Nose. The three grandchildren become lost in a whirlpool, 20000 leagues under the sea. Andy and Terry use a sandwich submarine to heroically rescue the grandchildren, who unfortunately then become washed up on a desert island. They strongly climb one of the tallest trees on the island only to realise that they have been in Andy and Terry’s treehouse all along.
This book also includes action-packed events along the way. This story is part comedy, part adventure and is illustrated throughout in a comic style.
I highly recommend this book with its incredible illustrations and amazing words. My rating for it is 10/10! It’s the latest of the 7 books in the treehouse series and the others have had me in fits of laughter.
I met the author in St Michael’s High School at a talk and book singing event last year!
Books: Emil’s Clever Pig, Emil and the Great Escape & Emil and the Sneaky Rat
Author: Astrid Lindgren
Illustrator: Tony Ross
Suitable for: 7-12 year olds
Rating: 99/10
These books are set a long time ago in Katthult farm, in Lönneberga, a village in Småland, Sweden about a boy called Emil Svensson who is about my age and looks a bit like me, with blue eyes and blond, curly hair. He is ALWAYS getting up to mischief! But he is also a hero sometimes. He lives with mum (Alma), dad (Anton), Alfred (the farmhand), Lina (the maid servant) and little sister Ida. He is a very kind boy and he doesn’t mean to be bad but trouble and fun follow him wherever he goes.
These books are SO funny. You really need to read them.
These are the best bits:
• When Emil got his head stuck in the soup tureen
• When he got his dad’s toe stuck in a mousetrap
• When he tried to pull lina’s tooth out by tying it to a horse called Jullan
• When he became drunk by eating fermented cherries
• When he saves Alfred’s life by taking him to the doctors in a snowstorm
Also there is this woman called Krösa-Maja who tells gory stories about murderers, earthquakes, tsunamis and terrible diseases.
You ought to read it!

CORALINE.
My recommendation is Coraline written by Neil Gaiman.
This book is is about a girl named coraline who has moved houses. She has very "different" neighbours and has discovered a little door in her house. A weird man tells here not to go in the door since his mice he has been training told him.
One night she left food next to the door and the mice ate it. She went through what was meant to be a pile of bricks but actually a secret portal to her other mother ...
This book is very interesting and is for more older children. Neil Gaiman normally writes books for children over the age of 8 at least because of the descriptive language. But Coraline is just so, amaizing and the illustrations are amazing too.
All of his books are great like the graveyard and neverwhere there all bestsellers and fun to read.
You just have to read it!

The parent agency (by David Baddiel) is a great book because it is full of adventure and is about a boy who hates his sisters and his parents so he was transported to Youngdon where he is able to pick his favourite set of parents there are rich ones,famous ones, sporty ones,hippy ones then there are normal ones.What i like about it is the bit where he goes to the famous people and lives with them for a day. He does like it butwhen they said they would change his name and he doesn't like it so he goes back to the parenting agency to go to another family.

Book: The Midnight Gang
Author: David Walliams
Illustrator: Tony Ross
Suitable for: 8-12 years
Rating: 8/10
The Midnight Gang is a wonderful story about 5 children in Lord Funt Hospital. In the children's ward there is a cruel matron who doesn't like kids at all. They escape Matron each night by putting sleeping powder in her sweets and go off on many adventures. The main character Tom has to wear a pink, frilly night dress because he has forgotten his pyjamas. The hospital porter runs the midnight gang to make childrens dreams come true.
My favourite bit was when a 99 year old patient called Nellie grabbed some balloons and flew of into the night sky naked! I also really enjoyed when matron was injected in the bum with sleeping fluid by a boy zooming along on a hospital bed. It's filthy funny!
I expected a David Walliams book to be funny, which it is, but it also covers emotional issues such as loneliness, bullying, friendship, sickness and even death.
The reader learns "that life is precious. Every moment is precious. We should be kind to each other. While there is still time."
I love this book and recommend it to all the children out there in the world. You ought to read it!

I think the tiger who came to tea written by judith kerr is a very good book for children because it is easy to read and it's not boring. I also really like the illustrations in it as they are detailed and bright. The characters are based on a family that we can all relate to however the story is very unlikely as it is about a wild cat who came for tea. This makes it a an imaginative little book that is a simple and quick read.

White Fang is a novel by American author Jack London (1876–1916) — and the name of the book's eponymous character, a wild wolfdog. First serialized in Outing magazine, it was published in 1906. The story details White Fang's journey to domestication in Yukon Territory and the Northwest Territories during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush. It is a companion novel (and a thematic mirror) to London's best-known work, The Call of the Wild, which is about a kidnapped, domesticated dog embracing his wild ancestry to survive and thrive in the wild.
Much of White Fang is written from the viewpoint of the titular canine character, enabling London to explore how animals view their world and how they view humans. White Fang examines the violent world of wild animals and the equally violent world of humans. The book also explores complex themes including morality and redemption.
As early as 1925, the story was adapted to film, and it has since seen several more cinematic adaptations, including a 1991 film starring Ethan Hawke and a 2018 original television series for Netflix.

Awful Auntie
Author: David Walliams
Published: 25 September 2014
Suitable for: 8+
Awful auntie is my favourite book and it ought to be yours, after reading it.
For starters, it is hilarious, it's about a girl called Stella Saxby and her awful auntie (Alberta). Stella’s parents died and now she is living with Alberta, the awfullest auntie in the world…
Best bits:
Alberta tries to push Stella off the top of the house but fails and falls down herself.
Stella meet Soot, her only friend.
Stella rides her auntie’s owl across the lake.
Stella’s house was turned into a orphanage.
You MUST read Awful Auntie, for it is brilliant!

Book: The World's Worst Children 2
Author: David Walliams
Illustrator: Tony Ross
David Walliams’ The World's Worst Children 2 is a great sequel to the first book compiled with short stories about horrible children with even more revolting characters like:
-Fussy Franky who never eat anything healthy and when his mother offered him a square of chocolate if he ate fruit but he just through the veggies out at the nuclear power station across the road and ate the chocolate. When he wakes up he’s surrounded by all the fruit and veg (now mutant).
-Harry Who Never Ever Did His Homework who made up crazy and abstract excuses to not do homework but when a new history teacher makes him see the greatest villains of all time he is forced to write an essay about them.
-Trish The Toll who liked to pretend she was squishing people down on the pavement decided to try really squishing them by writing insults around the school on walls and tables but every time she did it she turned more closer to a troll.
-No No Noe* the girl who drives people mad by only ever saying no but when the newsagent Raj puts to many nots for Noe to count in his sentence the groundskeeper gets an idea to drive her mad and she finally says ‘’yes’’!
I love the way he uses different fonts and slanted whole paragraphs to make a great effect.
I would recommend the book to 7-10 year olds. A good read to get away from the thicker and longer books I’ve been reading (Harry Potter). In conclusion, a good book with lots of disgusting characters and I can’t wait to finish reading The World's Worst Children 3.

Jasper and Scruff
Author: Nicola Colton
Jasper and Scruff is a great book, a tale of friendship and making the right friends. It is an easy, fun read for young children. It all starts with a smart cat with a fancy apartment, bow ties in every pattern and amazing cooking skills, Jasper. All Jasper needs is the right friends.
Jasper wants to join the coolest, smartest, most excellent club of cats in town, The Sophisticats. Jasper has a brilliant plan to impress them and be a member. Then the one and only muddy-pawed, waggy-tailed Scruff, jumps into Jasper’s life.
After Jasper realises he didn’t want to become one of the rude, cruel Sophisticats and wanted a good trust worthy friend, Jasper and Scruff were best friends.
I would recommend this book for ages 5+.

Book review: Doctor who "the time of the Angels"
Author: Trevor Baxendale
Suitable: for aged 9+
Rating: 7/10
This is one of the books, The Time of Angels, which is based on the television series and the scripts “The Time of Angels and flesh and stone”.
The book tells the story of Doctor Who saw a spaceship trying to get his attention. A time porthole opened and a character called River Song came out.
This is my favourite part in chapter 1 as
It tells the story of how River Song is a friend of the Doctor and how a space ship crashed into a castle and the weeping angels tried to escape.
One of the characters “Amy” looked at one of the weeping angels and closed her eyes and the spirit of the angel came out.
The story tells of how the Doctor and River Song fought the angels and eventually won by finding a book.
The book has pictures from the television series that shows what went on.
The book is brilliant because it is the most interesting book I have read. Because of the words that they have used and how they have said it like “That which holds the image of an angel becomes itself an angel”.
I would recommend this book to anyone and am looking forward to reading the other Doctor Who books in the series.

The book that I have picked is Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.
Harry lives with his aunt and uncle. One day he gets a letter to go to a wizards school called Hogwarts. He knows nothing about magic and knows no one there. He meets two kids his age called Ron and Hermione. They become best friends and lots of different exciting things happen to them while they are at Hogwarts.
I enjoyed this book because there’s lots of adventures and crazy things that happen. You think the adventure is over when really another one is just beginning. I would recommend it for ages 8 and above but if you are a child, check with someone that it’s not too scary for you before you read it, especially the last chapter: The Man with Two Faces.
If you like the film you need to read the book, or if you like the book you need to watch the film. The film doesn’t go into as much detail as the book but it is still a really good film. In the film it doesn’t say much about Harry living with his aunt and uncle but in the book it goes into a lot of detail about it. In fact there is four chapters where he is at his aunt and uncle’s house.
I have only read the first book but I am so exited to read all the other books. I would definitely give Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone 5 stars.

Worlds worst children 2 by David Walliams.
I recommend this book because it is funny and good for our age. There are lots of characters and the book says a lot about them. The characters are Humbert the hungry baby, Stacey superstar, fussy Frankie, cruel Clarissa, Harry who never did his homework, gruesome Griselda, spoiled Brad, Trish the troll, competitive Colin and no no Noe.
My favourite character is Humbert the hungry baby. Humbert was born the size of a hippo and was so big he burst out of his cot. He needed to sleep in his mum and dad's bed and wanted food all the time. They always ran out of milk and Humbert ate for England. He even ate his mum and the cat. He climbed up the building which was a thousand floors high and the army were sent to defeat him but they could not. The giant baby ate the fighter jets until he fell from the building and was no more.
I liked this story as it is very imaginative and made me laugh.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is one of my old-time favourites. I would recommend this book which is for age 6+, it is also a good book if you like adventures. It is by Roald Dahl, I would also recommend other books from Roald Dahl like Matilda, The Witches, BFG and many more child friendly books. Roald Dahls books have been passed on by many generations over the years.
Back to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the story is about a poor boy who lives with his four grandparents and his mother and father. Each day he gets a piece of bread for his breakfast and tea. His family always save for a chocolate bar for Charlie’s birthday (he takes forever to eat it). Later on in the story Charlie finds fifty pence on the floor. Instead of taking it back to the house to help the family … he buys a chocolate bar. At this time there was a competition on. When you bought a chocolate bar inside the wrapper five tickets where hidden for five special winners. If you had one you would have the chance to go to Willy Wonkers chocolate factory (the best chocolate factory in the world). If you won you would go to the factory as I said but, you would also get a lifetime supply of chocolate for free! Back to the story when Charlie bought his chocolate bar, he opened it straight away. THERE WAS A GOLDEN TICKET INSIDE! As soon as Charlie saw it, he was so excited, all of the kids in the store jumped all over him. This was the best moment of his life. People from the TV station were there, he was going to be famous. When he went to the chocolate factory with the other winners it was an amazing view. When they went to the chocolate river part you got to take whatever you wanted. A bit later on they went into the candy making machine room. You were told not to have a certain sweet but, as you know there is always one. One of the winners Violet didn’t listen and ate one and she turned into a big, fat blueberry. The Oompa Loompas had to roll her out of the building singing,”Oompa Loompa doompety doo I've got a perfect puzzle for you Oompa Loompa doompety dee If you are wise you'll listen to me What do you get when you guzzle down sweets Eating as much as an elephant eats What are you at, getting terribly fat What do you think will come of that I don't like the look of it Oompa Loompa doompety da If you're not greedy, you will go far You will live in happiness too Like the Oompa Loompa Doompety do Doompety do Oompa Loompa doompety doo I've got another puzzle for you Oompa Loompa doompeda dee If you are wise you'll listen to me Gum chewing's fine when it's once in a while It stops you from smoking and brightens your smile But it's repulsive, revolting and wrong Chewing and chewing all day long The way that a cow does.” Hahahahahaha that was my favourite part. I won’t spoil any more of the story for you but it follows what happens to all the other children and includes lots more CHOCOLATE!

BFG
Good for all children .The BFG (short for The Big Friendly Giant) is a 1982 children's book written by British novelist Roald Dahl and illustrated by Quentin Blake.
The book is dedicated to Dahl's late daughter, Olivia, who died of measles encephalitis at the age of seven in 1962 in 2016 the book was made into movie.
The book starts with a young girl named Sophie lying in bed in an orphanage after her parents died in a car accident. She can't sleep, and sees a strange sight in the street; a giant man, carrying a bag and an odd trumpet. He sees Sophie, who tries to hide in bed, but the giant picks her up through the window. Then he runs incredibly fast to a large cave, which he enters.
In Dream Country, the BFG demonstrates his dream-catching skills to Sophie; but the BFG mistakenly captures a nightmare and uses it to start a fight among the other giants when Fleshlumpeater has a nightmare about Jack. Sophie later persuades him to approach the Queen of England about imprisoning the other giants. To this end, she uses her knowledge of London to navigate the BFG to Buckingham Palace, and the BFG creates a nightmare for the Queen, which describes the man-eating giants, and leaves Sophie in the Queen's bedroom to confirm it. Because the dream included the knowledge of Sophie's presence, the Queen believes her and speaks with the BFG.
