Fire and Roses by Fiona Dunbar

This book is about a girl called Kitty Slade who has phantorama which means she can see ghosts. Kitty’s family are visiting and staying with their friends family. Kitty senses something bad in the atmosphere and thinks that there is a ghost in the house. She thinks the family’s bad luck is caused by the ghost so she goes on a quest to find something special to give the ghost so that it goes.

In this story Kitty is sent on wild goose chases and long journeys set by an evil ghost. I think that this book was very interesting and it was a page turner. It’s a great book and I would recommend it for anyone.

Class A by Robert Muchamore

Class A by Robert Muchamore is about an organisation called cherub that trains children to help bust criminals. When cherub kids go undercover, no one suspects that they are trained professionals, working to infiltrate criminal organisations that have eluded MI5 and the police for years.

The main character is James Adams which the story is written in the point of view of. On this series, James Adams is on his biggest mission yet working to nail Europe's most powerful cocaine dealers. The reasons for cherub's existence is simple: adults never suspect that children are spying on them.

I loved this book because it was full of action, thrill and adventure and the way the author described everything made you wanted to read on and created a lot of suspense in the air. I especially liked the part when Nicole (a fellow cherub member working on the mission) had an overdose of cocaine and fainted, I liked it because it was a very tense and gripping part of the story which I didn't want to stop reading.

Overall, this is a really good book for anyone who likes action, thrill and teen comedy.This is one of many series but the best I've read so far out of them. This is a MUST read.

Scott Pilgrim: Precious Little Life by Brian Lee O'Malley

This book was really interesting and it is the first book in the series that was used to make up the film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World! I loved the movie so when I found the book I wanted to instantly read it, and I simply didn’t want to stop. Its in a cartoon layout so not a challenging read but a nice simple one, filled with funny jokes and drawings. It's about a boy called Scott who keeps seeing a girl in her dreams then becomes madly obsessed with her and stalks her. When she finally agrees to go on a date with him he after the perfect night she finds out he has a catch… - to carry on seeing her he’ll have to destroy all of her 7 deadly exes! Scott decides to take on this challenge but does he know how much he is asking for… ?

A wickedly funny plotline and great simple illustrations. If you liked the film you’ll love the book. Filled with jokes and madness this book is an easy but good read that you can love and enjoy.
