The Killing an amazing read and a better series. They are the best books I have ever read so I advised you to read them too. BUT I know should not say this but I'm going to and if you don't want to hear this, don't read on.......I SAID STOP READING!!!.......just jokes. But the problem is that the first in the series is rubbish but read it anyway because you need to know about the characters.Soooooooo have fun reading it. Also there is another series called Henderson's Boys which are just as good. They also tell you what cherub stands for.

SNIPER ONE!!!
Sniper One is a great book written in the first person of Sergeant Dan Mills who is the leader of the sniper platoon being sent out to Iraq to fight for England. This book is full of swearing and killing for those of you who like that kind of thing (like me and Charlie H)... it has a really good ending (not giving any clues...) I would give this book a 10/10!!! It's probably the best book I've ever read... (not saying much though).
War Horse Micheal Morpurgo
War Horse is a fantastic book. It starts about a horse called Joey who gets sold to a boy called Albert, and then.... Joey ends up being a war horse for the English army with his new best friend Topthorn, and then.... Joey is on his own with the Germans without Topthorn. Albert joins the war but will he find Joey?

Cosmic by FRANK COTTRELL BOYCE
Liam who tells a big fib, was very
close to stealing a porsche,
going to a theme park and then after all this, he ends up stuck in space.
He's got an advantage because
he's quite tall, so people keep thinking
he's a grown-up.
He also has a friend who
likes to act as his daughter, and she's
called Florida, so they're kind of partners
in crime.
This is a very funny,cool & unusual.
I rate this 9/10

The Family from One End Street
This book is by Eve Garnett, it's about a big happy family who live on a street called 'One End Street'. They are called the Ruggles family. They have seven children and two parents living in one slightly cramped house.
This book is full of amazing adventures that the Ruggles family get up to. Because the Ruggles family is such an enormous family, they are not incredibly rich and are definitely not spoilt in any way. All they ever get is hand me down clothes and don't go on holidays or get expensive toys. But they still do have lots of fun.
I think this book is very funny and sweet. 7/10 O.M

My names Mina and I love the Night!
'My Name's Mina' is, to be honest with you a very boring book. It just talks about birds and souls and stuff like that!!! I know I am supposed to make you want to read the book but I would not read it again. Nothing happens at all!If you were into birds and intellectual stuff like that you would love this book. This book is the or prequel of 'Skellig'. This book is all about the girl Mina, who is in 'Skellig'.
Mina's dad had died a few years ago and Mina was living with her mum at home. Mina is homeschooled and it says a bit more about it in the book. Mina always goes up in the tree every day and watches the blackbirds and their babies grow up. I would give this book 1/10.M.Donaldson.

He remembers the time of their parting, at the docks in Liverpool, when she gave him a key, which he calls his lucky key and wears from that day on. He boards the ship and leaves for the country that is to be his home for the rest of his life. Arthur makes friends with a boy called Marty and they both get sent to a farm run by a couple called Mr Bacon and Mrs Bacon.

Soon she arrives at England meeting an old woman, who is Kitty. She takes the key, puts it into a music box, and it opens, singing London Bridge is falling down, one of Arthur's favourite songs.
