These books are AMAZING. It is an insult not to read them and ... you WILL love them (or else).

Review by: Poppy


The Unwanteds is an amazing series about kids who do cool adventures and explore their magical land situated in the.... Sorry, can't tell you. All the kids are super brave because they were going to die, but they didn't! I'd recommend it to 8-13 year old's.

Kasper Prince of Cats - Michael Morpurgo (Coming Soon)

Kasper Prince of Cats

So this book is by Michael Morpurgo, one of the most known authors, like, ever! It is not based on a real story but it tells a story about the Titanic sinking and a fourteen year old bellboy who works in a hotel in London call the Savoy. I think it is like one of the BEST BOOKS I'VE EVER READ!! After a TRAGIC event happens a black cat is introduced into the story - and a mischievous seven year old girl who takes a liking to the bellboy and they become good friends. 

So yeah I recommend this book to anyone looking for a good read or looking for something absolutely FILLED with adventure!!!
