Book Title : Ellie And The Cat
Author : Malorie Blackman

"Ellie ant The Cat" is abbout a young girl called Ellie that had to go to her grans to stay for a couple of days but she really doesnt want to. Ellie started to get really cheey and nasty to her gran so her gran casted a spell on her and said that she had lost her wedding ring and if Ellie didnt find it by dinner time the next day she would get turned into her grans cat and her grans cat would get turned into Ellie.
I thought this book was enjoyable to read as it always has a part in it for you to look forward to. My favourite part of the book is when Ellie finds loads of animals around the house and they help her look for the ring.
I think this book is suitable from around the age of 10-14. I think it's a really good boook to read because theres LOTS of things u have to wait for to happen which makes you not want to stop reading.

Vicky Angle
By Jacqueline Wilson

I read a book a while ago calles "Vicky Angle" by Jacqueline Wilson. I realy like this book. Its probably one of the best of J.W. The books about these two girls calles Jade and Vicky. They are best friends. Vicky is more like the rulling part of the friendship and jade just kind of tags along. But one day they have a big argument, it happens on the way out of school about because Vicky wants to do running clubs, but Jade dosnt, but as a best friend, she decided to do it. Its a different story when Jade wants to do something. So on the way out of school they cross the road, and vicky gets hit by a car....
Jade can see Vicky...

I love this book, I would recomend this book for 11+ readers. It is very sad!

Rugby Union


I have found 30 facts about this book here are the key 3.
The scrum is when 8 players 9
(fowards) to form together to make a scrum then the scrum half puts the ball into the middle of the scrum and the hooker hooks the ball back through the scrum then the scrum half passes the ball out through the backs.
the worled cup winners from 1997-2003 are New Zeland 1987.Austrailia-1991,1999.Suoth Africa-1995.England-2003.
When you score a try it is worth 5 points.When you score a convertion it is worth 2 point. A penilty kick is worth3 points and a drop goal during play is worth 3 points. I think the age group is about 12+ because there is some complicated words. I like this book because i play it .i woud recomend it to anybody wanting to start rugby.

BLUE
The book i have recently read and am writing a review on is BLUE the life and times of barry ferguson. Barry Ferguson wrote this book with help from Ian King.
BLUE is an inspiring book that tells us about Barry Ferguson - One of Scotlands greatest football players who plays for Rangers and is Captain for them along with being Captain For his country,Scotland - one of many footballing fans heroes.Barry didn't have an easy life though as many people will think he has every boy's dream at the moment, Barry is Captain for Rangers football club and his country. But Barry as Barry tells us during the book, he had a terrible ilness "nighterrors" which was stuck with him for 8 months during his childhood. Teachers didn't believe he would ever be a footballer and to give it up. So as we all see professional football player as Rich,overpayed,cocky people nowdays. People will change their judgements after reading this book on Barrys life.I really loved this book.This book really has inspired me and has shown me what it takes to be a professional football player.This book is suitable for anyone who likes football,Rangers fan or not this book will inspire you like it did with me.

Jimmy Coates:revenge by Joe Craig

"Jimmy Coates:Revenge is the third book in a great series of novels by Joe Craig which is all about an 11 year old boy (Jimmy) which has been running from a secret agemcy (NJ7) for weeks becayse Jimmy is a genetically enhanced assassinwho
NJ7 created and now want dead.
In this book Jimmy gets sent to Chinatown, America, to hide until the CIA gets him and all of his friends and family new identities but the safehouse is found by Dr Higgins (an x-agent for NJ7) which tells Jimmy that NJ7 were sending him signals to make him kill the president, so Jimmy created a plan that would make NJ7 leave him alone.
The plan starts off as Jimmy stuffing his shirt with tomato ketchup then he went to the NJ7 trap that he was completely aware of. There was a glich in this plan though, he never expected Mitchel to be there but he was. Jimmy then realised thatit wasn't Mitchel's real brother that he had nearly killed it was his half-brother. Then Jimmy realised that he was Mitchel's half-brother aswell. Mitchel backed down. Jimmy then backed off towards the edge of the cliff where two men inside a helicopter shot him off. It never killed Jimmy as it was only photon clusters so he didn't die but this led NJ7 to believe that he did.

Forget Me Not........

By Anne Cassidy.........

I have recently read a book by Anne Cassidy, called 'forget Me Not' I quite enjoyed this book and here is my reason why........

We are introduced to a girl called Stella Parfitt, who is a teenager who has just left school and lives with her Mum, Teresa Parfitt also known as Terri.At the beginning of the book, a young baby has gone missing, snatched from her cot in the night. no one knows who took the baby, but after hearing a story of something that happened to Terri when she was a teenager, involving a 15 month old baby going missing, people start to suspect that Terri has taken the baby. With their windows getting smashed and abuse getting shouted at them, they are forced to move into a small 'safe flat' for a few weeks, where all of Terri's past life secrets come spilling out to her daughter. When stella goes into her Mum's room and finds a brown suspicious looking envelope, she opens it and what she finds inside, she is furious with! Her Mum had pictures of the girl who went missing some twenty years ago! But why? She had to find out, her Mum was lying to her and she had to find out why........

I thought this book was a very interesting and moving peice. It was an unputdownable book. I weould recommend it for 13 years and over as it could be harder for younger people to read and understand. I would give it a 9/10.
