Follow Me Back
Name: Tom
19 March 2017;Genre: Real life
This is full of fast benders and U-turn that will always keep you hook. Without the boring "wittering" that most books like this fall into. I like the way that this is told through Facebook chat groups and various points of view from all the main characters.

Zubaidah, Tanjina and Lamisha: We enjoyed the Rainbow Fields because the illustrations are so colourful. Doing all the tasks made us feel involved in the story. We liked the Zeebies in their colourful suits, floating around space and enjoyed helping them fix their rocket.

Nabila, Eva and Ava: we loved searching for the magic objects on the beautifully illustrated pages. We especially enjoyed the Hidden Lagoon challenge, looking for the glow-worm that didn't shine as brightly as the rest. We liked going round the path and doing the challenges.

I liked it when Bobby became a dog named Trumpy. My favourite character was Miranda because she's really exciting and always happy. I also liked the cartoon-style illustrations by David Roberts with speech bubbles. You know the book is going to be fun from the zany front cover.

Little Legends - The Magic Looking Glass

This is a fantastic little story. I love the way that the story weaves in different fairytale characters and introduces them to the reader in a way that they may have not seen them before. Children will also love the whole idea of a Story Tree. It is a magical story which makes you want to read...
