Stanley Smartpants and the Mackerel Robberies | Alexander Martin

This is a great, funny book about cats, living like humans (I would have put a cat pun here, but I cannot think of one). Stanley Smartpants is a cat-detective, who is trying to solve the mackerel robberies, a series of robberies that always have a mackerel at the crime scene. This book is really amusing how it puts a twist on human things, and renames them cattish names, such as 'Catdonalds' or 'The Scissor Cats' or 'Leonardo de Catrio'! Alexander Martin writes these stories in a funny way that everyone can enjoy, and has plenty of awful puns about cats, judges, and police.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas | John Boyne

Image
This is a fantastic story of innocence in a time of death and horror. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is a book, based in Germany during the second world war. It shows Bruno- a young boy, moving because of his father job. I will not say anymore about the story, as I may ruin the book. This book is brilliant, slowly building up tension, gets a bit quicker, then comes to a lethal stop, and until the end, you are left wondering about something. This is a must read for everyone, sometime in their life 216 Pages 8/10 ABR Rating: C (for info about ABR Ratings, Please Visit the  About  Page)

Tales of the Willows | William Horwood

Image
NOT to be confused with The Wind in the Willows , by Kenneth Grahame, William Horwood wrote four more books to conclude the Great Classic. Even though, the original is by far the best. The Willows at Christmas is a very good book, which was just like an add-on to The Wind in the Willows, so I think it was rather good, It basically just showed you christmas by the Riverbank, 7/10 ABR Rating: A The Willows in Winter is also good, though not as good as the previous ones, as it lacks in the same jolly theme of the books, and though it is a good book, it just isn't up to the same standard as The Wind in the Willows, 6/10 ABR Rating: A Toad Triumphant has got to be one of the worst books I have ever read, Toad turns into an insane criminal, which makes no sense, and doesn't really focus on the other characters. I  only still have this  book to complete the set 3/10 ABR Rating: A The Willows and Beyond  is just downright depressing, even though, it is a huge improvement on T...

Charlie - The Kitten Who Saved a Life | Sheila Norton

Image
Like the book before- Oliver, this is another funny, and heart-warming tale, that is a pleasure to read. Based after the events of Oliver, Charlie is a young cat, who has to go on holiday with his family who are in a bit of a mess. Charlie has to encounter various threats and challenges, such as seagulls, other cats, and the vet. Again this book really benefits, having it from the cat's perspective, which makes it more interesting and fun. Fans of other cat books will most likely enjoy this. But also again, there is some swearing, which means that not everyone will be able to enjoy this book. 304 Pages 8/10 ABR Rating: C (for info about ABR Ratings, Please Visit the  About  Page)
