Wolf Brother

Wolk brother by Michelle Paver is a story about a boy names Torak who lives in the stone age. When a mad bear attacks the clans and killes his father, torak must journey to the mountains and save the forest from a most terrible fate. this is a really good book, but slightly distubing in parts. the author did a very goood job making the story realistic, so that you seem to go back in time. Dont be fooled, though! the stone age was as less like the flintstones as possible.


HIGHLY RECOMEND (for all over 12)

• interesting


• sucks you in


• page turner


• realistic


• fast paced

the sisters grimm

VERY interesting. not amazingly written, but its humor makes up for it. The Sisters Grimm by Miachel Buckley is about two sisters, descendants of the famed " brothers Grimm", that must continue the task of recording all of the magical happenings and keeping the everafters out of trouble. When prince charming plans to take over ferryport landing, and a magic bean allows a giant to get loose, it is up to them, the Sisters Grimm, to set things straight.

The canning season

The Canning Season by Polly Horvath is a lovely book. A young girl with a strange name, and an even stranger growth on her shoulder, gets an unexpected surprise.

The amusing adventures that have happened to these ancient twin sisters are very satisfying to read.
