Book Review by Caylah

Mahtab's Story
By Libby Gleeson

This is a fiction book inspired by a true story.
Its about a girl named Mahtab who lives in Afghanistan. Mahtab and her family are forced to leave their home and journey secretly through the rocky mountains to Pakistan. When her family get there her father leaves to go to Australia. Before he left he said he would send money for the rest of the family to come to Australia. Months go by without any sign of her father, so they decide to go to Australia. Will they ever find him. . .

This is a great book where Mahtab shows lots of Courage and Responsibility by looking after her younger siblings. This book would be suitable for 10 years and over. Great reading for people that love Adventure stories.

Book Review By Marie

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
By C S Lewis
Illustrated by Pauline Baynes

The novel ' Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' is a more detailed version of the movie. Most people would refer to the book because it has a better description to paint a picture in the readers mind that watching if on the big screen.

This fiction book will wisk you away on an amazing adventure. My opinion is this book is most likely to be enjoyed by approx ages 8 and up ( Even my Dad enjoyed it )

You can see Marie's wonderful illustrations on the Book Review Board.
