- The 1000 Year Old Boy
This book is about a boy called Alfie Monk who lives for 1000 years and goes through a very tough and harsh life but he always has his friends behind his back.
2. The Boy at the Back of the Class
This fabulous/sad story is about a refugee who travelled all the way from Syria to England with his family. He gains friends at his new school and of course there is always a school bully but his friends are always there to protect him.
3. The Girl of Ink and Stars
This book about a girl who goes on an adventure to a forbidden island whilst her dad stays trapped in the dark for a very long time.
4. I Swapped my Brother on the Internet
I have not finishing this book yet but the moment that one of my friends from a book club that I go to told me about it.
This book is about a boy who swaps his brother on the internet and none of the brothers that he gets are what you and him think they are unless you read the book or the blurb.
Hi Pandalife
Well done for publishing your first post and sharing your love of brilliant books! ?
Your first three recommendations are some of my favourite books that have been published in the last few years.
Editing Tip from The Writing Web
I ? your simple reviews as they include some key details whilst avoiding spoilers. Who are you hoping will read this most? I wonder what else they would like you to share? I’m not familiar with ‘Swapped my Brother on the Internet’; as you’re midway through, what makes you want to keep reading? I wonder if it’s anything like ‘The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish’, a rather wonderful picture book by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean.
I noticed that you have categorised the post as ‘Random’. Is that what you
wanted to do or could you not find the category that ‘fit’ your post? If you
would like me to create any new categories, I am happy to do so. Just let me know. ?
Keep reading and writing!
