Girl, Missing by Sophie McKenzie

Girl, Missing is a very fast paced book with a very exciting story-line. I would recommend this book for teenagers who want a thrilling and fast paced book. It's almost impossible to put this book down until I found out the extremely worthwhile end.

She finds a missing child report, where the baby looks like how she did when she was young. Lauren sets out on an adventure to America where her real parents are supposed to be. As soon as she landed, she stepped into a world of lies and danger.

Northen Lights - Philip Pullman

If you're the kind of reader who enjoys books with Good and Evil, and mischievous happenings, then this book is for you! It's absolutley packed full with adventurous themes and quests. Lyra and her daemon, Pantalaimon go on a magical quest to find there friend Roger. They are faced with giant polar bears, witch-queens and evil people!
We love this book so much! The idea of deamons is so cool and unique. The end is so sad but it really makes you want to read on the sequal. It's Pullmans best book yet, and definate must-read!

Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney

Greg Heffley finds himself writing in his journal about his life as a sixth grader and how to fit in.
Greg finds himself in the sea of middle grade students ranging from the small and ordinary to the ones that have muscles and are growing facial hair. Where is one to fit in? "If it was up to me, grade levels would be based on height, not age. But then again, I guess that would mean kids like Chirag Gupta would still be in the first grade." This hilairious comedy is not only for boys to read, but for those who fancy a good laugh. Jeff Kinney has done a good job with this sequal, and has interpretated high school in a fun and dramatic way.

Private Peaceful

Hey Guys! Me and my mate read this book a while back, and have never forgotten it! This is a very good book about the First World War and the soldiers that fought in it. Tommy and Charlie set off to France to fight in the war, even though they're underage. It brings vivid pictures into your mind, and helps you sympathise for when Charlie is given the death penalty. I would recommend it to anyone who likes a good read and I will also advise anyone who wouldn't normally read anything by Michael Morpurgo to give it a shot.
