Hostage to the mafia and they ask for the ransom of
Five million pounds. It is an exciting adventure for the fairies
Too as they battle the B’wa Kell for Police Plaza.
Definitely one for the ‘to read’ list.

Thanks to a slight slip of security, it doesn’t all go according to
Plan. Holly is there to help of course but they need more than
One fairy to grant success to there vital-to-the-People-mission.

And general kick-but too. But Artemis and his club have more than a security
Code to break though to reobtain the ‘C Cube’ which holds the power
To rob anybody of anything. Unfortunately the C Cube still contains LEPrecon

She can tap his phone, hack into his computer,and track him through town without his ever being the wiser. But can Cammie play girl friend to someone who can never know the truth about her?

This is a fantastic book,
It kept me thinking he's/she's a goodie or he's/she's a baddie.

I would say this book is a PG.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid - Dog Days by Jeff Kinney

This is a book called Diary of a Wimpy Kid - Dog Days.

The writer is Jeff Kinney. It has 4 books to the series plus a do-it-yourself book and a book about the film.

It is about a boy called Greg and his mum, dad, little brother Manny and big brother Rodrick.

It is the summer holidays and the weather out side is great, all the kids are playing outside.

And where is Greg Heffley? He is inside his house playing video games with the curtains shut not showing the beautiful sun.

Greg is a self -confessed 'indoor person,' is living out his ultimate summer fantasy: no responsibility and no rules.

His mum has a different vision of an idea for summer...one packed with out door activities and 'family togetherness.' Greg doesn't like the idea of that!

Whose vision will win? Or will a new addition to the Heffley family change everything?

I like this book because it is very interesting to read about his life and how he lives it, I also like how it is a half comic book and how funny it is...I would class it as a comic comedy.

Rated G. I got this book from Le Grand Book Shop in Esperance WA. To check out the rest of the books in the series click HERE

What would you do?

Truth or Dare is a lovely Christan book. If this was a movie it will be rated G. It inspired me to keep my ground in my faith with Jesus and never give in to what is wrong.

These books are one of my fav series. Conspiracy 365 is so action filled and is always keeping you on the edge of your seat! If this book was a movie it would be rated PG or M because of the action, Violence and scarey parts.
