luke book review

Wolfmaster

I sort of liked this book sometime i got stuck into it, but sometimes I wished it would
get to the point.


I reckon this book would be good for boys and girls aged 9 and up.


Wolfmaster is about a young boy named Dane who doesn't like going on camps. His dad convinces Dane to go on a camp. He goes, then he goes on a second camp, he goes into a lake and gets lost, then he runs into a wolf.

Rating: Two and a half stars.

The Edge (Collins Readers) by Alan Gibbons also a Blue Peter Book Award Winner is a very cool book violence and has some romance that is not really suitable for under tens.I am now going to type down the blurb.

The Edge

The Edge pulls you in very quickly, the cover personally doesn't draw you in enough to get a lot of readers to read the book (but I suppose you can't judge a book by its cover).If I was to say what age of readers were to read this book, I would say 11 and up because some of the themes wouldn't fit good with younger readers.

The Edge is about a dark skinned boy called Danny and his mother Cathy who are running away from Chris, Cathy's husband . They run to Cathy's parents house, the promised land.

Out of 5 stars I give this book a 3 star rating

The Power Of One

Briar, Izzie, and Georgia have been reading 'The Power of One' by Bryce Courtenay.
The book is about a young boy called Peekay who wishes to be the Welterweight Champion Boxer. Peekay is English and faces a hard childhood in South Africa. He starts of at a boarding school full of Dutch children and grows up to care for everyone. Peekay makes many friends during his challenging years, and learns that life is about everyone being happy and in on it together. This is the power of one.
Our opinion on this book: We like 'The Power Of One' because it challenged us enough to make the book interesting, but didn't bore us to death either! It also has many very stong morals we should all remember in life.
We recommend this book to 12 and over because it has some bad language and violence.
**** star rating.

Beautiful Boxes

I made these boxes ages ago after I learned how to make them at school. I made them during lunchtimes and after school. It took me about 2 days to make them all. The 5 little ones and the 4 big ones in two different sessions. The hardest thing was making the small ones cos it was really fiddly, and the big ones were time-consuming cos I had to tape them all together.
