This book was really good and was about a girl that gets bullied and her bully. This book was written from both of there views and it turned out that both of the girls were struggling.

It turns out to be a happy ending and this book was very interesting and I rate it a 9/10 I would definitely recommend this book because it teachers a valuable lesson.

New Zealand through time.

This book really caught my eye. I never really knew about NZ beneath. This book was really informative and it  gave explanations on things like NZ's Volacanoes, Extinct animals  and the loss of the 'Pink and White terraces. New Zealand through time was very imformative and showed me that in the olden days there was more to life than just technology it was more about surviving and living of the land. It was a about 1/4 pictorial thorugh out the whole book. Overall I really enjoyed the use of descriptive text and the expanations behind every text.

9/10

WW1 was starting and all the kiwi boys were waiting to enlist. Billy and Jack were two of them, Best mates. The war was scary and unsure for Billy as he was only used to shooting pests. But Jack on the other hand was fearless not a care in the world and looking for action.

This book was amazing, And i love how you get so connected to the book. Its the best war story that I've read. It makes you think about why we should honor them because when fighting the Turks in their trenches they were about 5-10 meters away from the enemy. I recommend this book to action lovers and who get connected with their books.

Bee and Puppy Cat is all about a girl and her puppy cat?. Sounds weird but thats what comics are all about. But this book shows the adventures and missions they have to do. I love how it shows and no fictional character that has the personality of a real girl.

This book caught my eye and hooked me in without even reading a page. Its such a detailed book with different stories and different ways people see the character. I liked how they included not just the creators stories but others and drawings on the characters. This book has everything to a fun read to cool drawings and even fun activities included as well!.
