This series is directed at children from aged 9 to
12 who enjoy a fantasy novel with a twist. This Seven part series looks at the
adventures of Arthur and his rise to fame in another realm of existence to
earth. Lord Sunday is the end of the series that ties the whole plot together
and leaves readers satisfied. Garth Nix brings a different perspective to how
the world works and shows that sometimes not everything is what it seems. This
book is not for all but those who love to read series there is six more before
this one! Seven days of the week.
Odo Hirsch - Antonio
S and the Mystery of Theodore Guzman
This story is beautifully written and allows the
readers (aged 8 to 11) to explore the world that Antonio S lives in. The story explores the world of Antonio and
his interest and discovery of who Theodore Guzman is and what his story is.
This story relates to children who may want to know about their own relatives
who may not know their story. Odo Hirsch plays with the language of the
narrative and you feel like you are a part of it, playing along with all the
characters. This book I would highly recommend.
Odo Hirsch - Frankel
Mouse
Frankel Mouse is a beautiful story in which we delve
into the world under London with the mouse named Frankel. His adventures led
him to “Baker Street” where there is to be supposedly an entire street of
Bakers making delicious food all the time. The adventurous story can be read
from as young as 7 and those who can understand the meaning and can read
chapter books, I recommend you to read this as you will enjoy the captivating
journey of a mouse to his dream.
Odo Hirsch - Darius
Bell and the glitter pool
Darius Bell tells a tale of a mystery gift to keep a
house that has been in the family for generations. The gift is kept a secret until
the end so the reader continues to read until they the very last page, tasking
in the splendid style that Hirsch writes. This story led me to read the rest of
the series in my spare time and I found that Odo Hirsch is still one of my favorite
authors even when I was young.
Andy Griffiths – The
Day my Bum Went Psycho
This comic story of how everyone in the world loses
their behinds left me laughing at the very idea. The story however, explores
the idea that the behind doesn’t like its job and wants to be the face so it
can be admired all the time. This leaves an adventure for the main character
(sorry, I can’t read my note on the main character) bringing new ideas like specialist
bums and using cleaning equipment to disarm a crazed bum. This story I find is
not for those who don’t like dirty ideas or anything with bums. I however,
enjoyed the book and have also began to buy the series so I can read this to
the class.
