David Copperfield

Hi guys and girls,

Lately i have been reading an old book called David Copperfield by Charles Dickens.
The book is about Davids journeys through his life.

I'm not used to reading books like this one but i really enjoyed it.
It was different and sad. Amazingly i felt compassionate for David When he gets beat by his step father and when his mother dies.

David learns so many lessens in his life through the tough times.

I hope you can get your hands on this book, and read it.

The Silk Sisters

Hi guys,

I've been reading a collection of books called the Silk sisters (Pink, Blue,Gold).

Rorie and Elsie's parents have disappeared, just like that.The mission to rescue their parents will take them on a dangerous journey. What do you do when the police close the case and assume that Rorie and Elise's parents are dead? Give up or be ready for whatever gets thrown at you?! Rorie has a secret that only her and her sister know. If Rorie puts on someones clothes she will not only look like them but think alike. They have been living in some weird places. Such as ...with a dangerous uncle in a girls boarding school, to a famous fashion designer spoiling Rorie and Elise. Then nearly getting blown away by the Statue Of Liberty, in a place called Mini-Merica.

This is a girls version of conspiracy 365, on the run and trying to discover something new.

The amazing author is Fiona Dunbar.

I will encourage you to read this book because it is very unusual.

But before he can complete his training in the ways of the Code of Life, Hunter is sent on a mission far more dangerous than he ever bargained for. Now with his life in Peril and the future of hanging in balance, Hunter is headed for a showdown with the Shadow and a battle to save his soul from a fate worse than death!



Is Hunter's knowledge of the Code deep enough to uncover the secret of the Shadow, or will the truth be more than he can bear?

But what begins as a harmless search for memories quickly leads him into a deadly hunt for his missing father and a lost relic said to predict the story's end.

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

Truth or Dare.

Truth or Dare is about a girl named Lindsay. When Lindsay and her friends begin to play 'Truth or Dare' at sleep overs, it starts off as harmless fun ....until the Dares became more risky and test Lindsay faith. She is forced to choose between standing up for what is right and possibly loosing her best friends for ever, or going through the dare and facing the consequences.

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.

12 books, 12 months

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.
