Review - The Bookshop Girl by Sylvia Bishop

Property Jones was found in cupboard in The White Hart Bookshop, but when Netty and Michael Jones found her and took her in, she hid a massive secret. For what’s the point in living in a bookshop when you can’t read?


Property wasn’t too sure, but when the Joneses won the Montgomery Book Emporium in a huge raffle, Property realised there was more to life than not being able to read and she must save her family before it’s too late.

The Bookshop Girl is for anyone that loves a bit of drama, and an awesome book Emporium. With a clever, cute and crazy cat: Gunther, that helped to save the day. A smart, fact-full boy named Michael and, an emotionless, very nasty and cruel Eliot, who is more than meets the eye. Lets hope Property can help her family before Eliot wins everything they ever owned…


Bookshop girl is a brilliant read for middle grade and people of all ages who ever dreamt of living in an almost magical Bookshop.

Callum fox and the Mousehole Ghost review BY AC HATTER

Callum fox and the Mousehole Ghost is told from two points of view, firstly by Callum Fox in present time, who goes to stay with his grandparents in sleepy Mousehole a Cornwall village, there strange things start to happen. Being knocked over by an ambulance Callum can see things others can’t, GHOSTS! Even though Callum knows that this is cool, no one will believe him, not even his new friend Sophie. Then things change once again seeing a ghost called Jim an old friend of Callum’s grumpy old Granddad’s, wants to move on with the help of Callum and Sophie. Meanwhile in in the Future, Jim is going to Mousehole evacuating from London, in the time of world war two. He is thrown into a house where he meets his new best friend Bob Fox. After a day out working Bob and Jim see a German plane crash. Trouble kicks in when both children help the pilot Gunter escape.

This is a great book, with lots of excitement, danger, and fantasy. My favourite character is; Sophie: she is very funny, keen, and joyful. She loves fishing, and teasing Callum. She is a great character, what stands out the most about her, is that she has bright red hair.

Bea's Review : Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carrol

Two glowing eyes, one large smile and a very cheeky attitude it’s the Cheshire cat. Join Alice and the strange animals of wonderland as she takes a mysterious stroll trying to find her way home to a normal life. Through her magical journey Alice meets evil head chopping queens, unusual talking animals and a rabbit that’s late for an important festival. This adventure starts by a large fall through a ginormous rabbit hole but will it finish the way Alice wants it to with a blanket and a family next to a warm fire or will Alice be trapped with nasty queens and curious creatures. I like this book as its funny and has lots of cliff hangers, it is really well written and it’s just and amazing book that you will never forget. I recommend this book as I think you will enjoy it, if you like mysterious places and creatures, also this book makes you feel like you’re in the adventure and it helps you to learn the creature’s personalities. Once you’ve picked up you can’t put it down!!!
