July Kids’ Choice

Wow!  Good news for all you series fans; each one of this month’s Kids’ Choice is part of a series, so each one of these books could lead you on to loads of great reading.

 

Percy Jackson and The Sea Of Monsters Rick Riordan

Book number two in this fabulous series which a 13 year old demigod ….  I could tell you the story, or you could should just read it!

 

I spy treasure hunt Jean Marzollo & Wick Walter

This I Spy book has a linear story that you follow through the book. That sounds boring, it isn’t, it’s really very cool. Spend some time hunting through it yourself.

 

Lessons for a werewolf warrior Jackie French

This is the first book in a new series, School for Heroes. Tag along with Boojum Bark and discover how to open a wormhole,  how to defeat bogeys armed with only a zombie sausage, and why heroes need to wear pants.

Just Shocking Andy Griffiths/ Terry Denton

More outrageous fun with Andy.  This is the sixth and last book in the phenomenal Just series, of short stories with cool illustrations. This book is worth reading for the list of 101 dangerous things alone.


Spylet on Ice Jill Marshall

Book #5 in the popular Jane Blonde series. Copernicus is up to no good can Jane save the world again? Another rollicking adventure from this kicking spylet with plenty of snowy goodness.

Kids’ Review by Aaron

kidsreviewMarch_0510Spud by John van de Ruit

 

Spud is generally a book which will have you rolling around laughing about half the time. It follows John ‘Spud’ Milton as he spends his first year at an elite boys only private school. The adventures he has there are only to be described as absolutely and madly funny. But even outside school his family are a constant pain, with about everything possible going wrong for them.

 

Causing the most chaos at school are his house, nicknamed ‘the crazy eight’ (for good reason too!). The funniest (definitely!) book I’ve read. This is a great and appealing read for boys, and one I would highly recommend.

 

This is only the first book in the series and is being filmed as a movie because it is the fastest selling book in South Africa and I can see why! 5 stars.
