Artwork is again fabulous, humour never fails to make my giggle or burst out in hysterics.

The plot thickens! Although the introduction of a new villain is an old trick in the manga world, Misa is so different a villain that we can't help but wonder about her. And her relationship with Rem is bizarrely intimate compared to the bond between Light and Ryuk.

I couldn't actually finish this book because I found it incredibly dull! Maybe it was because I haven't read the previous book, but it didn't suck me in like other books. I have to admit the start was interesting but towards the middle and end just got boring.

I must try and finish it at some point.

Meet the one and only Daizy Star! She's quirky and cool and loving life in Year Six with her best friends Willow and Beth. But when Dad hatches a mad plan that will turn life upside-down, Daizy is too horrified to tell anyone at all - and pretty soon she finds herself tangled up in a knot of secrets and lies.

Well-written but the story is more adapted for younger readers.

In the tradition of Stephen King's 'Salem's Lot, Cirque Du Freak is the frightening saga of a young boy whose visit to a mysterious freak show leads him on a journey into a dark world of vampires. Filled with grotesque creatures, murderous vampires, and a petrifying ending, Cirque Du Freak will chill, thrill, and leave readers begging for more.
I absolutely adored this book and I need to read the second book immediately!

We follow the main character as he makes his decision to go through with the op. I thought he was initially a lovely boy who just wanted to be normal. However, he changed part way through and became a temporary tool but he changed back at the end. So overall he’s a likeable character that handles himself well considering the situation he finds himself in.
Overall this is so touching. I didn’t quite cry but believe me there were times when I was close.

Entertaining to everyone of all ages, just not younger audiences. In this collection, Horrid Henry makes sure he gets the presents he wants for Christmas, sabotages the school sports, day, runs away from home, and thinks of a brilliant way to get rich quick - by selling off his little brother! Something I never thought of doing to mine, or maybe I love him really.

Lemony Snicket had an unusual education and a perplexing youth and now endures a despondent adulthood. Here's the point: The Penultimate Peril continues to tie it all together, and the return on your investment is shockingly huge. Lemony Snicket manages to tease out a few underlying themes, like what to think when good people let you down, and whether doing evil things makes you an evil person. There are incredible images here of reflections, fire and justice. The illustrations are also picture perfect.

Horrid Henry builds himself a time machine and tricks Perfect Peter. Perfect Peter strikes back, Henry dines at Restaurant Le Posh, and he is made to go on a hike. I read this for school with a younger child to help with her reading, and I ended up enjoying it more than her! Now that shows something either about my maturity or how good these books are!

B Smith and the other Angels are relieved to finally receive their first mission to safely escort a group of human survivors from the zombie-infested streets of London to New Kirkham, a barricaded safe haven in the country. I think this might be the best book of the series so far. No longer are we sat around County Hall talking and training but here the action really begins as B and her Angels are sent on a mission to transport some humans to a "safe" community.
