The evolution of Calpurnia Tate, Jacqueline Kelly
This book is about a girl in the 1890s who is growing up with a whole bunch of brothers, but she has to be ladylike and learn how to cook and sew, but she really likes science. I loved this book, I have gotten it out of the library so many times! Five stars! I would reccomend it to ages 7 plus.

The nature of Ash, Mandy Hager
The Nature Of Ash is about this boy and when his father dies he gets thrown into a crazy adventure. I think that this book was not that good in the start, but towards the end it got better. I would reccomend it to ages 12 plus.

This is an amazingly written book with a heart worming story line and twists and turns at every angle. I recommend this book for advanced 8 year old readers to 12 yr olds.

The bomb, by Sacha Cotter ; illustrated by Josh Morgan
I thought the book was very good, it teaches you to never give up and it has very colourful illustrations. It is about a girl who wants to make the biggest bombs in the pool but, she is too nervous so her nana helps her and eventually she makes the BIGGEST bomb ever!
