As part of the club, children can write reviews about their favourite books and have the chance to be published in our weekly column.
Title: Alvin How: Fatal Circumstances Reviewed by: Billy Du Age: 9
This book is about Alvin going to his grandfather's friend's funeral. But the truth is Alvin doesn't want to go. But it was too late for second thoughts.
I like this book because it's laugh-outloud hilarious. And if Alvin's scared, you'll read through Alvin's misadventures with fear! Title: Avatar the Last Airbender: The Search Part 1 Reviewed by: Ella Oliveros Age: 8 This book is about a teenager named Zuko. Zuko and his friends were searching for his mom named Ursu.
I like this book because I really wanted to know what happened and then my dream came true. I also like this book because it was very interesting; it had a lot of excitement. The book is also really creative; I really like the drawings. The end was really exciting and I was really happy to see what was going to happen.
Title: The Secret of the Fortune Wookiee Reviewed by: Lance Matthew Go
Age: 11 This book is about a fortune wookiee (a Chewbacca) who solves mysteries! In this book, Dwight's origami Yoda is replaced by Sara's fortune wookiee because he is suspended! Now, Dwight has to move to another school!
I like this book because first, origami is my favourite thing to do at home! Second, the graphics, the cover, and the texts are awesome! Third, I like solving mysteries too! Finally, I like it when the author put in extra origami instructions on the last page! The book I just read is awesome!
