Sara Finn Rodriguez. 1º ESO A

E. Lockhart. The Boyfriend List (2006)

This book is about a girl who goes to a shrink (psychiatrist) after her 6 month relationship failed, and is told to write down all the boys she has either fancied, went out with on a date or kissed, and her official boyfriends. She explains the story of each boy and what happened.

The book is very funny, witty and very interesting. It keeps you hooked and wanting to read more, which is very good, I would recommend this book to the ages of 13+ 

I would rate it a five star.

Tia-lauren Young  1º ESO A

MARGORIAN,Michelle. Goodnight Mister Tom (1983)

This book is about the time when the World War II started and how people reacted. Many children were evacuated to the countryside. When this boy reaches the countryside he is given to a man that doesn’t look very funny, in fact he looks quite serious.

I loved this book because it shows how things were when World War II started, and how people had to do many things. It also shows how they had to act. 

I would rate it five stars. 

Tania Garcia 1 ESO A

NIX, Garth. Abhorsen (2008)

Lirael, who has  been obsessed with her Clayrdescendants (a clan of women that can see the future and in some cases the past)finds out she is the next Abhorsen in waiting as soon as she finds out she jumps headfirst into a big adventure with the disreputable dog, Mogget, and her nephew, using herClayr skills to help her.

This book is fantastic, the plot is fantastic and well balanced, in a way that lets you relate yourself to the characters and feel shocked one moment and laughing in the next.

This book is really my kind of book it’s supernatural, it’s an adventure, and a really good read.
