**TERM 3** Title:My Life of Crime Author:Fleur Beale Genre:Action and Fantasy Plot:Anthony Lassister is a young kid who gets his mum to do everything for him and always whinges and moans. but one day he decides to not be that Anthony anymore and become a tough brave Ant(Anthony). Response:I have really enjoyed reading this book and would read it again. I highly recommend this book for boys around 10-14 because below 10 it will be a bit too hard to understand and over 14 will be to easy to read and for girls it will be too imaginary and not-a-girl thing. Fleur Beale used some good imaginative scenes in this book. This is my favourite one:If I had 1 million dollars I'd get my own pool and nobody but me would swim in it. I remember that I made up this great story in my head about how Kurt came over from next door and wanted to swim in my pool because his was so little and how I pushed him in so that he ruined the watch he got for Christmas and then, when he struggled out, I whistled up a rottweiler that ate him. Text to world:If you be a little baby like Anthony, you won't have any friends so don't be like him. Connections:I can relate to this because I reckon that I used to be like Anthony but not as bad but now I do things for myself and barely ever get my mum to do things for me. TERM 2

TERM 1 Title : Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Author : J.K. Rowling Genre : Fiction, Fantasy Plot : A prisoner has escaped from a magical prison (Azkaban) and tries to find Harry Potter (a wizard still learning how to do magic.) Harry wants to kill Sirius Black (the escaped prisoner) because he thinks Sirius killed his parents. But what Harry doesn't know is that Sirius Black is Harry's godfather and that Sirius didn't kill Harry's parents in fact, he was Harry's parents best friend. Response : If I were Harry Potter I would not jump to conclusion and think that Sirius killed my parents but instead I would ask him first if he did I felt empathy when : Harry thought Sirius killed his parents because he was really sad and wanted to kill Sirius Black I learned that J.K. Rowling is capable of writing good books and i shouldn't have underestimated her I learned that : jumping to conclusion can be a bad thing so don't do it I like it how : J.K. Rowling used some good vocabulary like : (There was a howl and rumbling growl ; Harry turned to see the werewolf taking flight ; it was galloping into the forest.) (Harry saw his bald tail whip through the manacle on Ron's outstretched arm, and heard a scurrying through the grass.) Text to World : People are dangerous and people can break out of prison so be aware

There are a lot of facts on the Ferrari F2002 (the new Formula 1) and it has all the racing cars and it has the safety rules on how to make a car and what you would wear in a car if you were racing. Response : If I were a racing car driver I would read this to find out some interesting facts about the cars that they race. I recommend this book from ages 11+ and for people who are into fast racing cars. Text to World : Racing is an awesome sport and is my favourite sport with basketball

Title : Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Author : J.K. Rowling Genre : Fiction, Fantasy Plot : There has been a rumour going around Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry that there is an underground chamber. No-one thinks that it is true but like normal, Harry Potter along with his friends Herminoe Granger and Ronald Weasley are on the hunt to find out if the Chamber of Secrets is real. Response : If I were Harry I would not do anything dangerous or something that their not aloud to do. J.K. Rowling is a very good author and I recommend this book to ages 9-18 because under nine will be to difficult and over 18 will be to boring and not interesting enough. Text to World : Rumours can sometimes be true but sometimes be very powerful. So beware.

Title : Military Technology Genre : Non-Fiction Plot : The latest gadgets have just came out and the military are buying them. There are : Exoskeletons, Unmanned Planes, and Spy Birds. Response : If I were in the military I would want to get my hands on every gadget that the military had. I like it how the military have made such incredible things and how that and exoskeleton makes you able to carry something a lot heavier than normal and run faster than normal Text to World : There are a lot of gadgets and spy's so beware because you might not think it's a spy but it could be.

Title : Mega Machines Author : Richard Gunn Genre : Non-fiction Plot : The 100 biggest machines ever built is a very great book for looking up big machines like the biggest motorbikes and push bikes and tractors and trucks and trains and guns and space machines and tanks. It also says how much the machines cost on some of them and one of the tanks costs about 1.2 billion dollars. Response : The 100 mega machines book is really cool for me because I like big things and I like machines. I would recommend this book for 10+ and I also recommend it for people who are into machines. Text to World : Mega Machines are very very cool and most of them are man-made so it would take a lot of work to make them. So the people that make mega machines are very smart and determined.
