Skulduggery Pleasant | Derek Landy

These are hilarious books about a funny skeleton in a suit and his spritely companion, Valkyrie Cain. They are great because they have a good story, and joke around with it, making even the darkest of scenes laughable, and they will always make you smile if you read them. Though, saying this, books gradually get progressively less light hearted and fun, and more repetitiveness and confusion and drabness. But they are still good, and worth the read if you can get them.

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)

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)

How to Train Your Dragon | Cressida Cowell

Image
This is quite a good series, though it is almost completely different to the films/TV series. For example- at the start the dragons are not fighting the vikings, and the dragons are cat-sized. Hiccup Horrendus Haddock III is a viking boy, and when he finds his dragon, it turns out to be the most basic Basic Brown dragon. Hiccup goes on many adventures, and fights the most repetitive, annoying villain ever; Alvin the Treacherous, who gets really boring and has the most ridiculous schemes. This is quite a good start to those interested in dragons, and I think the series is quite good, but I just don't rave about it, or particularly love it like other people, especially at  the end where there are weird things about dragon enslavement, and dragon war, and the king of the wilderwest, but it is  still quite good.
