A Cat Called Alfie | Rachel Wells

This is the second installment in the heart-warming Alfie series. In this book, Alfie solves many more problems, and gets a crush on a new cat - Snowball. One thing that improves this book in comparison to the last book was that there was no swearing, so more people can read it. I love the suspense and mystery in this book, which mixes nicely with the lovely, funny bits. I recommend this to fans of Sheila Norton, as Alfie is like Oliver and Charlie, and I think this was a pleasure to read.

Bob - No Ordinary Cat | James Bowen

Image
This is a heart-warming, lovely childrens adaption of the bestseller A Street Cat Called Bob. This story is brilliant, how Bob improves James Bowen's life, and is reminiscent of Alfie, Oliver, and Charlie- but unlike those stories, this one is true. After going to London, James became homeless, and took drugs, a while after he stopped taking drugs, a ginger tabby swept into his life. The cat was injured so he took it in and adopted it, and gradually 'Bob' helped James back on his feet. Bob is an amazing, loyal cat- he is very patient, and can do high fives! He also looks fabulous in scarves. This is a must read for all of those who haven't read this. 297 Pages 8/10 ABR Rating: B (for info about ABR Ratings, Plea se Visit the  About  Page)

The Fork, The Witch and the Worm | Christopher Paolini

This was an unusual return to the Inheritance Cycle that I thought was a bit dissatisfactory, and although enjoyable, it didn't give me the same enjoyment I got from reading the previous books. This may be to do with the fact that it was more of a spin-off than an entry to the series. Interestingly enough, the book is basically three short stories with a lot of filler in between. This stars Eragon after the events of the inheritance cycle, and frankly, I prefered these minor part to the stories. The stories aren't bad, but they don't fit the series, and are more of their own thing. The only thing I can really liken them to are the Warrior Cats novella bind-ups. The Fork is the most like something out of the Inheritance Cycle. There is a serious to...

The Raven Mysteries | Marcus Sedgwick

This is a mysterious, funny and unusual novel about a family that could definitely give the Addams Family a run for their money! Edgar the raven tells the stories of Valvine, Minty, Solstice and Cudweed Otherhand, who have many mysterious happenings in their home; a castle. From monsters sneaking in, to magic tricks going wrong, something is always going wrong! This book is a great mixture of weird and wonderful, with odd plots, but funny, quirky characters and situations. This is brilliant for fans of the Addams Family, and is a really nice read.
