One of Michael’s younger novels but it was only okay not very good.

A sad and upsetting story about  a boy whose sister got blown up in a London terrorist bombing.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid - Jeff Kinney (not pictured)

Funny, laugh your socks off type of book. Not my cup of tea.

The World According to Humphrey – Betty G Birney

Little M's thoughts on books she hasn't reviewed but read in 2012 that were part of a series.....

The Hunger Games trilogy - Suzanne Collins

3 books: The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, Mockingjay (all read)

A fantastic dystopian trilogy about a world that makes their children fight for their life in a game. Fantastic books.

Missing series - Sophie McKenzie

3 books - Girl, Missing; Sister, Missing; and Missing Me (all read)

Brilliant series of a family whose kids keep on going missing. Brilliant series though Sister, Missing was not my favourite.

World's End series - Monica Dickens

Have read the first two books: The House at World’s End and Summer at World’s End.

A brilliant series, set many years back but a house full of rescued animals with just kids living there. Very good books!

Slated - Teri Terry

Loving the books so far (Slated is the first book and Fractured is the second book in a planned trilogy)! It is about a girl who has had her memory wiped clean, like a slate.

Insignia - SJ Kincaid (not pictured)

Sci-fi novel about a boy who is fighting in WWlll. Brilliant series - This is the first and Vortex is the second in a planned trilogy.

Here are eight one line reviews of books that Little M has read this year but has not reviewed.



 

Cosmic - John Cottrell Boyce

Very funny; good book; love how a boy looks like a 30 year old.

Uglies - Scott Westerfeld

Dystopian; I liked it; very good; would like to read the rest of the trilogy.

Love Ya Babe - Chris Higgins (not pictured)

Funny book though I didn’t think I would like it as much as I did.

Hold On - Alan Gibbons

A very emotional book which shows friendship and how serious bullying is. Excellent

A Boy and a Bear in a Boat - Dave Shelton

I found it too young for me, so I didn’t like it that much, the sea monster ruined it. An okay book

A World Between Us - Lydia Syson

A very thought provoking book, it is set in the Spanish Civil war and when you read it you learn a lot. An excellent, excellent book.

Now for Bluefish and A Monster Calls.......

6 mini reviews - Little M

Six mini reviews about books Little M read in 2012 that she hasn't reviewed on the blog. Memories for the future.

 

 

The Giver - Lois Lowry

A wonderful dystopian. (M's read it too: we had a good discussion about we thought actually happens at the end - and we're still in two minds!)

Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret - Judy Blume

A very, very funny book about a girl who is growing up. A brilliant novel.

(M: lots of Little M's friends borrow this book from us more than any other!)

The One Dollar Horse - Lauren St John

A sad story about a girl who finds a horse that will be sent to the slaughter house, but they save him for one dollar. An excellent, amazing book.

One Dog and His Boy - Eva Ibbotson

A sad book about a boy who wanted a dog so badly that when he got one he didn’t know it had to be returned at the end of the weekend. An excellent book.

Pig Heart Boy - Malorie Blackman

A very sad but hopeful book, it made me want to help the boy and punish the press that made the family unable to go anywhere. An excellent novel.

Follyfoot - Monica Dickens

Already can’t remember it! About a horse.
