OUR REVIEW ON ‘What's for dinner MR GUM’

‘What’s for dinner MR GUM’ is written by Andy Stanton and illustrated by David Tazzyman.

It  is a wonderful book for all ages, and everyone will love it.

It’s about a nasty old man called Mr Gum(clue in the title!) who makes a new friend called Greasy Iain and his monkey, Philip the HORROR.He also has a gooey fight with Billy william the third. And they fight with lungs, livers( these are animal insides not human YUCK

Some of these crazy old townsfolk from Lamonic Bibber are, Mrs Lovely, Friday O’Leary, Billy William the Third, Old Granny, Mr Gum (of course!) Alan Taylor, Polly and Martin Launderette.

Poppi and Katlyn's review on The Ghost Prison

 The Ghost Prison by Joseph Delaney.

This is a fantastic book about the dead people or witches... Wait! Are they dead? No they aren't! This is a spooky book about a boy that made the worst mistake of his life. He is a bodyguard that turned into a ghost how mysterious!!! read this breath-taking book to find out more.

Poppi:

score out of 10	what I liked best	what I hated
9	when he gets locked with the witch	nothing I liked it all

Katlyn:

score out of 10	what I liked best	what I hated
8	when he finds out the keys are on the other side…….	At the start it is dead boring but give it a go and read on

GHOST PRISON

Ghost Prison is a spine-chilling story about a young boy (named Billy) who is in the orphanage searching for a job. Unfortunately the only job poor Billy could find was to be a prison guard...

The prison in the book is based on Lancaster Castle back then people blamed women and said they were witches. In the book there's a place in the prison called the Witch Well, obviously Billy was very curious.

Ellie’s opinion of this book:

This book freaked me out a little,its a really cool book packed with excitement and adventure. The best part in the book for me was when Billy came face to face with Long-Neck Netty. It was a very frightening book but very good.

My rating out of 10: 8.5/10

Molly’s opinion of this book is:

This book is very eerie, it scared me a little when poor Billy can face to face with the creature…

This book is spine-chilling yet fun at the same time. Its full of adventure too, the best part for me was the same as Ellie’s when Billy met Long-Neck Netty

My rating out of 10 is: 9/10

This book is a must read! But be warned there are some very scary bits! Buckle your seat belts for a journey of adventure!

The  name of it is Jake.The most awesome author has written Doctor Who: shroud of the sorrow and Fangs: scream street. Everybody hates Jake because he is a zombie and tries to kill him.

Lily B's and Sienna's review on Sapphire Battersea

                                                                                                                   Sapphire Battersea by Jacqueline Wilson is the sequel to Hetty Feather. It's about an orphan girl who meets her mum and tries to find her after all those years. Nine years in a hospital filled with cruel matrons and girls, nine years trying to find her mother. After her mother being fired and taken away from her, Sapphire sets out on a epic journey to discover her true family. Sapphire is sent to be a servant for a horrible man, then gets dismissed without a reference then joins a circus act filled with freaks. Then, once re-united, Sapphire's mother becomes sick and sadly dies. After also being dismissed by a wicked old lady, just because she`s sick. With pleasant and horrid characters new and old, Sapphire has a lot to take in. Suddenly, she remembers a spirit-talking lady that lives nearby, there she meets her old brother Saul who died and then sees her mother. Saul was her foster brother from the country, the master of sly punches and swift kicks who promises to look after her other foster brother Gideon, but doesn`t. We recommend that you read this heart-warming, tear-jerking story.
