HOLIDAYS! What are you reading?

I LOVE the holidays because I get to hang out with Morag in the garden and because I get to read whenever I like. Right now I am reading Morris Gleitzman's "Once". So far it is fabulous. Happy holidays everyone. :-)

$300.00 worth of books!!!!

Today Gwen and I had the privilege of choosing almost $300.00 worth of books. We had a lot of vouchers that were won at the NZ Post Lit Quiz in 2008 and 2009. Gwen also kindly donated a book and I "topped" up a few as well. We had a blast choosing books ranging from dear old classics (like Ballet Shoes, by Noel Streatfeild, Gwen's very generous donation) to exciting newly published reads (like Marcus Sedgwick's Flood and Fang). I can't wait to read them, get them processed and get them onto the shelves. Many thanks to all who participated in our Rapaura School Literary teams. Your great efforts have really benefited your school. Well done.

William's book review: The Wrong Book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I liked The Wrong Book (by Nick Bland) because he uses lots and lots of expression. The illustrations are awesome, especially the pirate. His boat is weird but really cool. I give this book an 8 out of 10 because the characters are doing really weird things.

Phoebe's book review: The Secret Island

The Secret Island (by Enid Blyton) is interesting and exciting because when the adults come to the island you don't know wht's going to happen. (And it turns out to be a big surprise!) I like the characters and I like the story. it is a 10 out of 10!
