Top 10 Children’s Fiction January 2017

Dusty

So it’s the holidays – who’s bored? and who is reading? Want to bring some of those tales into real life? Want something delicious to eat but it will totally disgust your younger/older, brother/sister/friend/cousin/relative staying over for the holidays? Well Roald Dahl (who I just learned to pronounce correctly, “Roo-aal”) invented snozzcumbers for his non-human eating giant, you may remember these from the movie! An edible version for humans can be found in Roald Dahl’s revolting recipes, page 12 =)

And what’s been really popular over the holidays…?

The Recruit by Robert Muchamore

If you have a great taste for action and adventure, then read this awesome book. It is about a young boy named James Adams, who is chosen for a top secret organisation called CHERUB, where children go on undercover missions and help save Britain. And there’s one key thing: no one suspects that children are spying on them. 5 stars.
 
Maximum Security by Robert Muchamore
 
 This book is great because the author’s writing style ensures full graphic images that you can visualise when you read it.

CHERUB Series: Maximum Security by Robert Muchamore

James is ready to start a new recruitment mission. John Jones, an MI5 agent, pulls him out and asks him to go on a mission that is 10 times harder! James has to break out of Arizona Maximum Security prison with Curtis Oxford, who earned his prison sentence by murdering three innocent people. John wants James to earn Curtis’ trust, and break him out, so they can get information as to where Jane Oxford (Curtis’ mom) is hiding. Jane Oxford has been on the run for 23 years and the FBI are dying to finally put her behind bars! Can James break out and clear his name? Can he keep Lauren safe?
