Book Reviews
Dragon Keeper by Carole Wilkinson
This is a book set in Ancient China and is about a young servant
girl who doesn't even have a name. It is about her relationship with a
dragon as they embark on a long journey together with a large purple
stone. First in the series. We now have the sequel in the library as
well. 10/10 by Mrs Hill and several other students.
THE BFG by Roald Dahl
The BFG stands for Big Friendly Giant. The BFG is a giant with big
floppy ears.
The other characters in the book are Sophie who is
an orphan, the nine giants who are very mean and the Queen who is
very nice. The army and the air force help the BFG.
Giant Country is a mysterious place with green sky, purple stones and is
the home of nine gruesome giants and one BFG.
The plot is to capture the nine giants with some help from the queen.
I would give the story five stars because there are giants and the style
of talking is so funny.

Dolphins Dance by Anna Goetze
This book is about a family where one of the children has autism. It
is told through the eyes of the sister and shows the difficulties and
the positives the family encounters because of their Max. Brings out
lots of emotions. 9/10
There's a Boy in the Girl's Bathroom
by Louis Sachar
Another great book by this author. It was published overseas many
years ago but has recently come to Australia after the success of
"Holes". A terrific story about some primary school children that might
be considered 'different' but with the positive influence of the school
counsellor these children show us their real selves. 9/10 |
