Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince J. K. Rowling  Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is a book for you if you like reading about amazing adventures and magic. This book is all about Harry Potter's 6th year in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.  This is the 6th book of the Harry Potter series. I would recommend everybody to read the first book of the series (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone) and carry on from there.  This is a very good book including tons of descriptio. I loved this book!  So if you like all of these things read this very book called Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. * * * * *

   Giants, Trolls, Witches, Beasts:  Ten Tales from the Deep, Dark Woods Craig Phillips * * * *  Do you like stories about fables and myths - then look no further for this is the book for you. Filled with 10 action packed adventures, whats not to love?

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire J.K. Rowling I totally recommend this book.  The whole series in fact.  J K Rowling is a talented author who's books are fantastic.  Her talent in creating mythical beings is fabulous.  Harry Potter is a one of a kind series.  Harry goes through lots of dangerous adventures facing his worst enemy all along the way.  He is famous in the magic world and he is called 'the boy who lived'.  His headmaster at his magic school called Hogwarts is willing to give his life for Harry. I would recommend this book for Yr 5's and 6's.  No one too young because it can get scary. * * * * *

Rylee and Jess love funny books.  See their wonderful display and check out some of the amusing books on offer in our library :) Why Reading is so good for you!!!

   Sapphire Battersea: A New Name, a New Life for Hetty Feather Jacqueline Wilson This is definitely one of my favourite books of all time. I loved the book "Hetty Feather" so much that, as soon as I read the last page, I got out my chrome-book and reserved the second book,  Sapphire Battersea.  If this is a book you want to read, I would strongly recommend reading "Hetty Feather" first because there are a lot of parts that you might get quite confused about. This book is sad at some parts but also very exciting. * * * * * I think Years 4 to 6 would love this.

CHECK OUT THIS WONDERFUL BOOK REVIEW BY VIENNA SERPA!!   Hetty Feather Author:Jacqueline Wilson Introduction Gasp as she as she is abandoned as a baby, shudder at the hardships she suffers, wonder at her search for her true mother. That’s what it says on the back of Hetty Feather and while you are reading this book you will do all that and more. Hetty Feather is a great book, full of twists, turns and clever surprises on every page. One of the many reasons I liked this book is because you never suspect a thing, you can never guess what will happen next. I was always trying to guess who Hetty’s mother was, but I never could. Another reason I enjoyed this book was because it is very suspenseful and addicting. Every padge and every chapter left me wanting to know what would happen next. The Beginning I will admit that I actually didn’t like the beginning of the book. I disliked it to the point that I  stopped reading. Other people might like the beginn
