         Diary Of A Wimpy Kid Rodrick Rules.


Author: Jeff Kinney

This story all started with Greg Heffley and his Summer holiday.
Trust me when I say ' It was horrible ' because Greg was entering a brand new year back at school. Greg was very anxious to put the past three months behind him...one more than the rest.

Unfortunately Greg has a older brother called Rodrick, who knows of all Greg's little secrets, and is making it his summer duty to ruin Greg's holiday. Secrets have there own way of getting out , makes it so much harder when there's a diary involved.

Overall I thought this book was very entertaining, and I personally like the way Jeff Kinney writes, Therefore I'm giving a rating of 9/10. Timara Stevens-Lett, 1/05/2016 20 book challenge
4/20.

One

One
Georgia Perry
Sarah Crossman
Realistic fiction
3/20

One is about two conjoined twins. Doing every day tasks but joined by the waist down sharing one pair of legs. Their names and Tippi and Grace. They were always home schooled but since money problems they had to go to a public school where some of the drama starts. 

One is a very interesting book. The way it flows is like a poem and is written like one is certain ways. Mostly each page has a different title but it all goes together. It is complicated is some ways but is hard to put the book down once you start reading. I personally loved the book and would give it a 9/10. I would recommend reading this book to people who love to get connected into their books and that can understand what is happening.

This book would be in realistic fiction and that some people live like to this day.
