Arissa Kauser Book Title The Secret Garden Author Frances Hodgson Burnett Who was your favourite character? Why? My favourite character was Mary Lennox, even though she was rude and selfish at the start her behaviour improved and she grew in kindness and respect for other people. Mary became more curious and adventurous when she had arrived at Misselthwaite Manor to live with her uncle since her parents died in India where she first lived. Mary made friends and discovered an amazing secret, which turns into a mystery to be solved. Who was your least favourite character? Why? My least favourite character was Mrs Medlock the housekeeper of Misselthwaite Manor a stout, strict woman, who never tolerated bad behaviour. Mrs Medlock always wore black and never smiled at anybody. Mrs Medlock would always follow orders and obey Mr Archibald Craven the man who owns the manor (and who was also her uncle with a hunchback and never liked coming out of his room after his wife died. He never even came out to see his son Colin). Your review I loved the story The Secret Garden because of the mysteries and secrets upon each page which, I loved. In fact I loved this book so much I read it again twice but in different versions. I really do recommend this book to those who like suspense, an good adventure and cliff-hangers.

Zahraa Book Title *A Christmas Carol" Author Charles dickens Who was your favourite character? Why?

Who was your least favourite character? Why? My least favourite character was scrooge, mainly from his attitude, because before the 3 ghosts came to visit him he was really rude. Your review Overall, this book was okay but the parts i mainly liked and grabbed the attention of the reader, was the Ghost of Christmas Present stave, as it was really bright (as in happy). The thing that i disliked was that the sentences were really long and it was abit boring ONLY on stave 1 though. It wasn't as bad it was mostly nice! It would be around 9.5/10.

Arissa Book Title Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone Author J.K Rowling Who was your favourite character? Why? I didn't really have a favourite character, my favourite three favourite characters were Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasely because they worked together and helped each other even when their own lives were at risk.

Ron was friends with Harry from the start when they were on the train and always comforted him when he was stressed or sad. Who was your least favourite character? Why? My least favourite character was Professor Quirrel, who was secretly working with Professor Voldemort and tried to hurt Harry during Quidditch.

Zakariya Book Title Journey To Jo'burg Author Beverley Naidoo Who was your favourite character? Why?

She is also caring because she cares about her little sister Dineo that is ill and sick. Who was your least favourite character? Why? My least favourite character is definitely the policemen because they abuse their own kind, which shows that they are very mean and rude, it also shows that these policemen think that they can do whatever they want, but really they shouldn't be doing that.

Zakariya Book Title Robot Rampage Author Chris Priestly Who was your favourite character? Why? My favourite character was Tiger because Tiger actually came up with a plan to make Robo-Rex giant and have a fight with the giant X-Bot. He was also my favourite character because he splashed water onto Robo-Rex to make him grow, and some of it ended up on Ant's t-shirt, which I found really funny. Who was your least favourite character? Why? My least favourite character however, was the boss of the NASTI HQ, since he was the one, who made this cunning, devious plan to rule the Earth. One of the main reasons he is my least favourite character in this book, (Robot Rampage), is because he is very vile and a diabolical villain. Your review In my opinion, Robot Rampage is an excellent book, that is telling you about the fight of Robo-Rex and X-Bot, since Tiger came up with a plan. Robot Rampage is an exquisite book, except from the boss of Nasti HQ, since he is very outrageous. Is this book part of a series? Yes Will you read other books in the series?

Zakariya Book Title Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone Author J.K. Rowling Who was your favourite character? Why? Rubeus Hagrid and Harry Potter were my favourite characters of this book because Harry started off in the Potter family, which his parents died in a car crash, some people say Voldemort or You-Know-Who did it, but others say it was an actual car crash. Harry Potter is also my favourite character because on his 11th birthday, Hagrid celebrated his birthday by getting all the equipment ready for his first Year in Hogwarts, which I found very weird because Dudley and his family would only celebrate Harry's birthday with something like a potato or if he was lucky, a £5 book. What I also find interesting was when Aunt Petunia cut his hair but in about a second, it grew back to the way it was. Hagrid is also my favourite character because he showed that he was caring by buying him equipment ready for Hogwarts, whilst Uncle Vernon never believed that there was a Platform Nine and Three Quarters. Hagrid is also my most favourite character because he has a lot of informal slang, which shocked me, since I have never seen informal slang in a book. Who was your least favourite character? Why? Quite unfortunately, my least favourite character is Draco Malfoy because he is so mean with his gang, Crabbe and Goyle, he is also impolite and disrespectful because he is always bullying Harry unpleasantly and I hope that maybe they can become friends. Your review Overall, without these books I wouldn't be so interested in learning or even reading, but these books have inspired me to keep on trying, to always stay determined and even if you get it wrong, you can always try again! This is also quite a lesson-telling novel, that is loved by many people across the world, so, it is my opinion, that this novel is a great book and I think you should read it, but it is up to you.

Arissa Book Title The Whispers Of Wilderwood Hall Author Karen McCombie Who was your favourite character? Why? My favourite character was Ellis she loved going on her adventures but she does have really severe anxiety issues, which caused her to doubt herself and she didn't want to try anything new. Ellis was very brave, even when she went into the other Widerwood ( from the past in 1912. Who was your least favourite character? Why? My least favourite character was Flora a maid from 1912 in the other Wilderwood. First I actually thought she was a good person but she had faked it. She pretended to be friends with Ellis but it occurred to Ellis at the end of the story that Flora was a really bad person, who would lie to anyone. At the end of the story Ellis found that out when Flora's treasures had dropped from a blanket. The worst thing was that she set a fire in Miss Matilda's room she almost died but she was saved. Flora died when the whole of the family and maids, workers and butlers went on a trip Flora had to take Miss Matilda's place on the Titanic. Your review I loved this book since this book was ever so similar to The Day I Fell Into A Fairy tail. This story was about a girl, who moved from London to Wilderwood after her mum got married again. Ellis starts to hear whispers and she somehow transferred from 2016 to 1912 into the old Wilderwood. Ellis made a friend who had faked their relationship. In the end she gets used to everything and gets used to Eloise her nickname Wheezy she was 18 and was RJ's daughter. They became so close ,from when she randomly turned up. Is this book part of a series? No Did you enjoy the book? Yes How many stars do you give this book? Five |

Your review Overall, In this book I liked it because it has lots of enemies having challenges with hero’s and at the end there is always a moral, which will show readers that are big and small to learn and not to do that thing or to do that thing.

The best thing Bob did was that he helped Joe notice what friendship was all about and most importantly what life was about he explained life isn't all about money it is about sharing cherishing your moments with the people you love. Joe thanked Bob for being a good friend and that is why Bob was my favourite character. Who was your least favourite character? Why? My least favourite character was Joe's dad the thing I didn't like was that he only thought life was about luxuries, money, nice things he didn't spend any time with his own son.

Arissa Book Title The Day I Fell Into a Fairy tail Author Ben Miller Who was your favourite character? Why? In this book my favourite character was Lana, the reason for this is that she was a very imaginative, creative nine year old who didn't let anybody stop her from letting her imagination run free. Her brother and her parent's said she was making things up. Lana was also very brave she faced many difficulties and managed to get through them. Who was your least favourite character? Why? My least favourite character in this story was the little, old man, who seemed to always have a sly grin across his face. It appeared that he was actually with the Evil Queen from the fairy tail Sleeping Beauty ( Briar Rose). For some reason the little old man spoke in a manner that gave his true identity. Your review I really enjoyed this book it was so suspenseful, once I had read a chapter or so I immediately wanted to read more that is how exciting this book is this is all about a little girl Lana, who has an older brother that doesn't want to play with her, goes to a new shop called " Grimms" and when she buys a book with her mum the little old man warns her for some reason. When she goes into the shop the next day with her dad she gets pushed by the old man into the sherbet lemons tub and then is in the story. Is this book part of a series? No Did you enjoy the book?

Saifulhaq Book Title Superman Author Blake Hoena Who was your favourite character? Why? My favourite character is Superman because he is a really adventurous hero, who always tries his best and he never gets fed up or tired. As a result of never giving up, Superman is very strong and wealthy and is very proud of himself being the most strongest and famous superhero in the world. In my opinion I think superman is the best hero after Batman since they are both strong and brave to fight all vile and evil villains. Who was your least favourite character? Why? My least favourite character is Mr Mxy because he is a evil, little trickster that always tries to harm Superman and any visitors that visits the museum because Mr Mxy is a tiny wicked imp that pretends to be Jimmy but is actually an imp from the fifth dimension that always sets tricks for superman and any other human beings that visit the museum.

Zakariya Book Title Double Cross Author Tony Bradman Who was your favourite character? Why? Max was my favourite character because he is heroic and helpful. Unfortunately, Badlaw tried to stop him and in the end aswell, which gave me the chills. He is also one of my favourite chracters mainly because even when Max Two betrayed him, Max still cared about him, which shows that Max is very caring. When Max stepped into the machine, I loved his expression, as he was shocked, that a clone of him appeared. Who was your least favourite character? Why? My least favourite character has to be Badlaw because he is a very cunning, diabolical villain, that just wants to rule the world and outer space. He also is very vile and disgusting because he has 5 eyes and yellow, filthy teeth. When he appeared on the screen, he said he had the route to the Earth and he could also get rid of all the micro-friends because he had laser canons, which can abolish anything into pieces. Gladly, in the end, Badlaw's ship poured green flames and smoke but Max Two, the clone, came in a space craft zooming, which makes me excited and I really want to know what happens next! Your review This week, Double Cross is one of my favourite and best book, that I have ever read because I admired the part, where Max Two betrays the Micro-friends, Max, Cat, Ant and Tiger so instead Max Two joins to team up with Badlaw. This book peeked my interest when Max Two zoomed out of the Destroyer. I also enjoyed when the Micro-Friends were in the Excelsa and they downloaded the DATABASE, which was counting down from two minutes. It is my opinion that this is a very excellent, well-illustrated book, that is very enjoyable and interesting to read, so this makes Double Cross the best book I have ever read!

My favourite character in this story was Raj because he was always in a jolly mood and was always coming up with funny prices such as twelve bars of chocolate for the price of eleven he thought his prices were reasonable. Who was your least favourite character? Why?

Saifulhaq Book Title Charlie and the chocolate factory Author Roald Dahl Who was your favourite character? Why? My favourite character was Mr Willy Wonka because he is good-hearted, compassionate and gracious. Surprisingly, he is really generous and inventive since he is really good at inventing chocolate. Impressively, he even manufactured a colossal, charming chocolate factory which was in the middle of nowhere which made everyone consider that it was haunted and intimidating. Unfortunately, Mr Willy Wonka had closed his factory 10 or 11 years ago since the people who worked there sent spies to see the secret recipe of the magnificent chocolate so sadly Mr Willy Wonka shut it down for 11 years. Who was your least favourite character? Why? My least character is Augustus Gloop because he is greedy and hoggish and never stops eating even if he is full. He didn’t listen to Mr Willy Wonka and then went into the glorious, edible chocolate river and got sucked into a continuing, sky-scraping pipe that went all the way up till the sealing of the luxurious, stunning building. Gratefully, Mr Willy Wonka got him out of the pipe at the end but not in a clean way. At the end he was full of chocolate was now pleased to have a bath. Your review Overall, I enjoyed this book because it was adventurous and exciting. I was curious to see what would happen to all the different characters. I knew Charlie Bucket would be the last one to win as he listened all the way and is a good, polite boy. Is this book part of a series? No Did you enjoy the book?

Zakariya Book Title An Ancient Enemy Author Steve Cole Who was your favourite character? Why? My favourite character in this book had to be Vogoss because when he appeared out of the huge tube of frosted glass when it turned purple and then to red and I especially loved it when they were trapped with a space oblivion or they could surrender. Who was your least favourite character? Why? My least favourite character had to be the Krools because they were very villainous and I wish for their to be a very more updated Krools, they have dirt all over them. The good thing about them is that they have binoculars for eyes which I hope they keep. Your review An Ancient Enemy in my opinion is a very well written and illustrated book because the picture have very good graphics and it makes it look like it is very realistic I enjoyed it when Vogoss appeared through the tube but I disliked it when the Krools turned into a sphere instead of some other shape, but other then that it is an ABSOLUTELY amazing book!

Zakariya Book Title Revenge of The X-Bots Author Anthony McGowan Who was your favourite character? Why? My most favourite character in Revenge of The X-bots is Cat mainly because she had a scoreboard of the Micro-friends vs. the X-Bots and I am glad that they all survived, this is one of my favourite books just because Cat is here to always save the day and be heroic and I loved when she figured out the NICE and NASTI were both working together aswell and her shocked and scared face look very funny. Who was your least favourite character? Why? My least favourite character was The owner/ boss of NASTI HQ mainly because he is a very evil, wicked, sinful and very nasty. My least favourite part in this book was when he made the X-Bots appear and I really hated when he very shocked because I never expected Max, Cat, Tiger and Ant to see him in Nasti HQ especially that it looked like a lair! I also hated the part where he summoned more X-Bots for them to destroy and I also hope that they will bulldoze or destructively get rid of the NASTI HQ soon and the NICE HQ because they work together. Your review Overall, this is a very good book and I hope they can make more books like this and make it look a bit more realistic as well. I hope the author is doing alright and making new books because I really want to read more books like these! This was an amazing, shocking book and I cant wait for more like this one. This was a very good book, I enjoyed Cat, Max, Tiger and Ant. I found the little, helpful X-Bot very cute and he wasn't so aggressive, instead he was very peaceful and calm. I loved this book a lot!

Saifulhaq Book Title Journey to Jo’burg Author Beverley Naidoo Who was your favourite character? Why? Naledi is my favourite character because she is brave, energetic, glorious and determined to save her little sister Dineo from dying. She has a very hard journey waiting for her. She is very motivated and inspired since she would like to go on this journey to the city which is more than 300km away. Calling her mother from the city will be a very task. Doing this journey may not be safe but Naledi, who will do anything to save her sister, will be in a high risk. Who was your least favourite character? Why? Madam is my least favourite character because she is not very happy of the 2 little children coming whilst their mother’s in work because in that time children could not visit their family members whilst they were working. As their mother pleaded, the madam said it was ok to go tomorrow to the city and said you can have a few minutes outside in the city now. So she dropped the children at Graces mother’s house that was at number 17.

Arissa Book Title Journey to Jo'burg Author Beverley Naidoo Who was your favourite character? Why? My favourite character was Naledi, the reason she is my favourite character is because she was confident in everything she did. Naledi never looked down or gave even in her darkest and hardest of times. When she struggled in doing something she always looked at the bright side and always found a way. Naledi has inspired me to always persevere and to do my best no matter what others say or think . Who was your least favourite character? Why? My least favourite character was the Madam the reason for this is because she was very rude and selfish I know this because she said "You can't leave today the Master and I are going to a party but you can leave tomorrow but this would be horrible for my schedule you've got a week and if you don't come back I would have to find a new maid understand" she said with fury in her voice so by that you could tell she is very demanding. Your review I absolutely loved this book I loved it how this story had a bit of history on how black people were treated just because of their race, but was also very fun to read. This book was suspenseful especially the last chapter which was called "Life and Death" I recommend this book to all readers this book so you would know how hard it was to live during apartheid ,if you think life now is hard (Life now is hard you will face many difficulties but it is not as bad as then) read this book and read about how hard people of a different race had it .
