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.

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.

Book Review

Sadie and Ratz
- Sonya Hartnett

Reviewed by Roie Rm 11

Hannah has a baby brother called baby boy. He keeps on drawing on walls and stuff and keeps on saying Sadie and Ratz did it. Hannah says that Sadie and Ratz are on holiday and then her mum and Dad don't believe her. Then after a whilde they do believe her.

Based on a true story.

Riie's favourite part was when their mum and dad found out the baby boy was being naughty by breaking stuff and pulling insects legs off.

Lots of different aged children would like it and both boys and girls would be interested in it.

Roie thought the book was cool and would rate it 10 out of 10.

Stefania's Dancing Slippers
Written by Jennifer Beck and Pictures by Lindy Fisher.

Reviewed by Caylah

Stefania's Dancing slippers is based in Poland in 1939. Stefania's mother made her a pair of dancing slippers and her mother also said she would make her a dancing gown. Things didn't turn out that way. Instead her father went to war. One night some Russian soldiers came knocking on the door and told them to leave home.

I would recommend ages 7 to 9 would enjoy reading this book.
