Little Women...

Hiya, this review is about a book called Little women (well duh)

It was written by Louisa May Alcott and published by Oxford University Press.

Little Women is supposed to be for 9 to 13 year old children but I think it should be for 11 to 14 year old children. I think this because lots of the language used in it is really hard to understand, and even for me it was hard to get into the book as it is so old fashioned, it's good though. It's basically about 4 sisters. Jo is the oldest (17 years old), she is a real tom-boy. Meg is next (16 years old) she it really girly and beautiful and always makes an effort with how she looks. Beth is next (13 years old I think) she is very shy but very sweet all the same, she loves music and plays the piano. lastly there's Amy (11 years old) she is quite small and has long blonde ringlets of hair that go past her shoulders.

Here is the blurb:

Times are hard for the March sisters - their father's away at war and the family is short of money - but these girls don't dwell on such matters and always look on the bright side. Whether it' performing a play or getting on with day-to-day chores, the sisters can find the fun in any situation - but what fate holds in store for the girls, only time will tell.

Cookie

This is a book review about a book I finished reading for the second time last night called Cookie.

Cookie is by the famous children's writer Jacqueline Wilson. It is her latest book and the second one of hers I've read, it's one of those books that you never want to put down!
Cookie was illustrated by Nick Sharratt and published by Doubleday.

Cookie is about a 12 year old girl called Beauty Cookson, she absoloutly hates her name because she's totally NOT beautiful, unlike the school bully Skye. Beauty's life wouldn't exactly be great without being bullied, her dad has anger-management problems and understands none of Beauty's problems. Unless he's in a VERY good mood, anything can set him off, especially any untidyness, rudeness or rule-breaking in their expensive six bedroom house. For her 13th birthday Beauty's dad gets a little bit carried away and hires a super-strech limo to a west-end show which Beauty never asked for or wanted, she knows something is going to go wrong...and just about everything does, apart from getting the best birthday present she ever had. In the end Beauty and her mum Dilly (who have a new found talent for baking cookies) can't take any more of dad's ranting and raging and run away from home for ever. Will they find a new home? Will beauty finally find a school where she isn't teased? Are they about to discover a whole new life? read it to find out!

Here is the blurb by the way:

Beauty Cookson is really not very beautiful. She's plain and timid and all the girls at school are super-confident and snooty. They think her nane is ridiculous and have come up with a new one for her - Ugly. Worse than the teasing in the playground, though, is the hurtful critisism from her father. Beauty and her mum live in fear of dad's rages - sparked off when they break one of his fussy house rules, suggest something 'silly' like getting a pet, or if Beauty refuses to wear an outfit he's bought her. But Beauty's mum adores her and finds ways to keep Beauty happy dispite all the shouting. Together they discover a new hobby - baking cookies - and a new nickname is born. After Beauty's disasterous birthday, dad's temper seems to be out of control. Can mum and Beauty bear it any longer? Or can they find a way to start a sweet new life?

Please buy this book, you know you want to!

Sundae Girl

Hi, it's Mia again to review a book called Sundae Girl.

Sundae Girl was written by Cathy Cassidy and published by Puffin. It is about a 13 year old girl called Jude and her weird and wacky family. Her mum is addicted to alcohol and her dad is an Elvis impersonator. Her gran has a deathly disease and her grandad looks like Santa! Jude's best friend is called Naula and other characters you will soon find out about are Kevin Carter and Kristina Kowalski from school. This book is an emotional rollercoaster and just like all of Cathy Cassidy's books, has amazing descriptions of Jude's feelings (I almost cried!). Here is the blurb:

Jude's Family are crazy, quirky, bizarre...her mum brings her plenty of problems and her dad thinks he's Elvis! All she wants is a hassle-free life - but it's not easy when you're chasing a trail of broken promises.
Nothing seems to go Jude's way until she realises a floppy-haired boy from school could be her knight on shining rollerblades. And sometimes, when everything turns sour, only something sweet can make it OK...

please please please read this! (not really for boy by the way)
