The Great Blue Yonder by Alex Shearer

This is story is very moving indeed. I am truly glad that it had a happy ending when finally Harry said to his sister- Eggy that he was really sorry for saying " You'll be sorry when one day I'm dead." and he didn't mean it. Eggy said that she was very sorry too for answering "No, I would be glad." and she didn't mean it either. When Harry finished saying this, he went out on his bike and was actually ran over by a big lorry and he is DEAD!! I am also very glad that eventually Arthur found his mother that he was looking for a hundred and fifty years on the other side.

This story tells us to think before you say anything bad to a person, because you don't know what will happen to him/her on the next minute. I especially like the ending when Harry can go to the Great Blue Yonder with a peaceful heart and don't have "unfinished business" to do anymore. I am very touched by this moving story!! I recommend it to everyone that I know, especially my friends. This is a book that I will read again and again and I'll never get tired of it.

The Umbrella Man and other stories by Roald Dahl

This book is a very mysterious, funny, incredible and memorising book full of a little collection of stories by the famous author- Roald Dahl. I think it is truly fabulous and interesting, indeed. I especially liked "The Man From the South", "The Umbrella Man" and "Royal Jelly" becasue those are the most mysterious ones. I think it is really scar, horrible and disgusting to let someone chop off their little finger when they lose a game! including this book, I really like all of Roald Dahl's books and I have read it all! I totally recommend this book to people who likes mysterious books!

The Secret Garden By Frances Hodgson Burnett

I think this book is really memorising and heartwarming, indeed!! My favourite part of the story is when Mary found the key to the garden . I think it's really amazing how the secret garden changed Mary and Colin! I think the reason for them to improve their attitude in life would be because they have something to focus on and concentrate on, so they wouldn't be always thinking disagreable and miserable things, but instead they will think about happier ones.

I also like Dickon and his mother, because they are all very caring to others and they make people think that living in this world is a good and truly wonderful thing!! I really would like a secret garden of my own to share with my friends!!

I think this book gives the moral "If you are determined to improve yourself and you try really hard, you will be able to do it." This book also tells us that people can be changed by their environment.
