Time traveling with a hamster

BY ROSS WELFORD

This book is very gripping and exciting. Ross Welford has become one of my favourite authors. His style pulls you into the story and you do not want to put it down. This particular book is about a boy, whose Dad dies. He lives with his Mum, his stepdad and his sister. One day he finds a time machine that his Dad made and he goes on a big adventure to save his Dad. He takes his hamster Alan Shearer with him.

Dog Man by Dav Pilkey

Dog man is very funny. This book is a very funny comic. It is about a cop who had a dying head. So he had his dogs head sown on to his head. It is ever so funny. There are 6 Dog man books. Dog Man, Dog man unleashed, Dog man a tale of two kitties, Dog man and cat kid, Dog man lord of the fleas, and Dog man brawl of the wild. I love this very funny book because all the characters  are so silly. My favourite  book of the series was dog man a tale of two kitties

Howl’s Moving Castle

Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones is a story about a young woman called Sophie who has a dull life working in a hat shop. She has a curse put on her by the Witch of the Waste, and turns into an old woman. Sophie leaves her hat shop and goes out in to the world. Cold and tired she goes inside a moving castle belonging to the wizard Howl, reported to eat girls’ hearts. What will happen to Sophie now?

This book explores that things and people are not always what they seem to be. As the reader I had to keep an open mind and rethink what I thought I knew about the characters.

I was not interested in the book before I started reading it, but this story pulled me in – I was enchanted and excited. My Mum is reading this book now! BJMN
