Response Language used: Simple, appropriate descriptive language with lots of describing words. The prologues were very descriptive. The chapters were in the 1st person, while the prologues and epilogues were in 3rd person. It is a nice, easy,entertaining read. I absolutely love this Book 1 Term 1

Title: How is it done? Authors: Nigel Hawkes,Nigel Henbest,Graham Jones,Robin Kerrod Terry Kirby,Therdore Rowland-Entwistle,John H. Stephens,Nigel West Genre: Non Fiction

Plot: Covering everyday things from science and space, this is a book that tells you everything about anything.

Response: It has basic language that everyone can understand with descriptions on scientific words. I learned that there are a lot of things that we don't know about this world that we must investigate. Airliners and airports are having to cope with more air traffic and passengers. Roads and motorways are seeing more and more cars and traffic build ups and congestion.

This book is in the Pukekohe Intermediate Library

Book 2 Term 1 Title:Coyote Moon Author:Martin Booth Genre:Narrative/Fiction

Plot: Daniel Chance arrives at Dark Creek ranch then begins a Journey to Kansas City with 50 head of cattle. Its 680 miles over terrain full of Indians, Blue Bellie soldiers, and Outlaws. This is a book of his journey.

Response: Language used: Cowboy talk as in, You ain't no cowboy, as well as italics for Mexican words, like rita, and flashbacks to Daniels past. I found that, although the journey to Kansas City is fully described, the return journey is just a summary paragraph near the end which I find is a little small for the same distance. But, despite the problems, I still think this is a good book. I learned about the workings of a small farm and the Civil War era lifestyle, being that Daniel was given a horse, a gun and being respected like a vancuro, a paid worker on the ranch.

This is a book that I would recommend to others who like adventures, cowboys and Western books.

Book 3 Term 1



Title:Chute Thru Author:Janice Marriott Genre: Fiction

Plot: This book is set in 2075, where the world is completely covered in water and everyone lives on rafts. Arlo, the main character, finds a spaces capsule that splashed down near his raft. On board is Luke Laster, a famous astronaut fashion designer. They get into a whole lot of trouble with the help Arlos friends ,Lulu and Ludo.

Response: Language used: Repetative easy language, but the author has invented a lot of the words. I find this book a fun entertaning read because of the basic story line, so its a pretty quick read. I learned that stopping golbal warming is important, because melting ice caps could have the effect that happened in this story.

I would recommemed this book for an easy read.

This book is in the Pukekohe Intermeadiate libaray.
