Solving the chocolate challenge
This
challenge is about chocolate. You have to imagine (if necessary!) that everyone
involved in this challenge enjoys chocolate and wants to have as much as
possible.
There are 3 tables.
Table 1 has one block of chocolate.
Table 2 has two blocks of chocolate.
Table 3 has three blocks of chocolate.
Now
... outside the room is a class of children. Thirty of them all lined up ready
to go in and eat the chocolate. These children are allowed to come in one at a
time and can enter when the person in front of them has sat down. When a child
enters the room they ask themself this question:
"If the chocolate on the table I sit at
is to be shared out equally when I sit down, which would be the best table to
sit at?"
How much chocolate would each child get as they arrive at the tables?

Book review- The perks of being a Wallflower
Charlie is a freshman.
And while he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. Shy, introspective, intelligent beyond his years yet socially awkward, he is a wallflower, caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it.
The perks of being a Wallflower is a funny but sad book. It is written from the main character Charlie's point of view in a collection of letters addressed to 'friend'.
This book shows the ups and downs of Charlie's slightly complicated life and makes Charlie's life seem like your second world.
I really enjoyed this book because of the way the author used the words. I'd give it a 4/5 and I'd recommend it to older readers because it does have quite mature themes in it.

The terrible thing that happened to Barnaby Brocket

Normal. Barnaby Brocket is a normal eight year old boy... sort of. Barnaby was born with one difference, he floats. His parents (who thinks he's a disaster) will do anything to make the family normal, which leads to the unthinkable. Barnaby's world turns upside down, literally. He tries to accomplish an exiting adventure which takes him from Brazil to New York, from Canada to Ireland. On the way he meets loving, caring friends who who understand his way of life.
I think this book will be enjoyed by eleven years an older, it's an"edge of you're seat book" that you can't put down.
9/10 "Awesome" Christopher.
