Cry Of The Taniwha. by Des Hunt. my book review

In the village of Ohinemutu, in a hotel room, sat Jack Boult getting ready for the night he had planned. While everyone in the hotel was out on a hill to watch an astonishing event Jack had crept away to get ready. But ready for what? Well Jack was a cat burglar and in other words a thief. He just stole something very valuble from Mary and Edward Basham and ran away to Taupo so the person known as Jack Boult would cease to exist. Some time later Matt Logan dug up a skeleton with Jackson Peters by a mud pool in Rotorua. Is it one of the Bashams? Will the gang Jackson is going to join get involved? You will have to read this book to find out.

I liked the discovering of the skeleton and the descriptive language like 'the empty eye sockets were scary enough.' At the start of the book it grabbed my attention because Jack Boult snuck away and it made me think what is he going to do?

I wish the author had given a better description of Matt and Jackson because I didn't have a good picture in my head. One thing I would ask the author is why are you not making a movie of it because it has good drama, mystery and much more.

I think it is recommended for children aged 10 and up because it has difficult words in it.

Kason's book review on 'Chris Ryan'

Chris Ryans books are really jaw dropping. Every time you turn the page you will never want to stop reading. 

I like these books because of all the action, drama and because there are lots of different books in the series.

I wish that in Wildfire and Outbreak that the books wouldn't end with 'To Be Continued'.

One thing I liked about these books was all of the action that Chris Ryan has put into the books.

I think these books are suitable for aged 10-12 years old because there are some killing parts not suitable for younger children. Boys would like these books more than girls because there is lots of guns, killing and action.

Troy's book review on Dinosaur Rescue by Kyle Mewburn and Donovan Bixley

These funny Dinosaur Rescue books will make you laugh so much you'll cry! These neanderthals are extremely dumb apart from one kid called Arg and 8 years old. Arg is a boy that saves dinosaurs from grogllgrox and hungry meateaters. Well Arg actally has a t-rex as his friend. read the 1'st book and find out how Arg gets his t-rex friend. There are heaps and heaps of bottoms in the Dinosaur Rescue books.

I like these Dinosaur rescue books because I like dinosaurs, I like chapter, theres funny drawings and theres 8 books to read.

I wish there was more Dinosaur Rescue books because I wanted to keep on reading dinosaur rescue books but the authors have started a new series called Dragon Night.

                                                                      ARG
                                                                      smart
                                                                      active
                                                                      fast
                                                                      good
                                                                      funny

I think Dinosaur Rescue is suitable for children aged for 7-10. You may find these books hilarious exciting, boring and cool

CHERUB Brighands M.C

CHERUB Brighands M.C is a story about a motorbike gang and how the father of the gang goes on a killing spree. Dante Scott and Holly Scott are the only survivors of their family. They both join a group called CHERUB and Dante becomes a agent to help get the father put where he belongs... behind bars.


I really liked this book,as the gang came to be a strong forceful and torturing gang who didn't care who they killed. This book was mostly set outside but some of the drama took place inside.


I wish that the author had told us more about the gang and how they went on bike trips. And it could of told us more a bit more about their rough gangs.


One thing I liked is that it described the characters very well. This author has spent a lot of time writing so that is why the describing words are so good. One thing I would ask the author is that why he didn't tell us what happened before he went to the police station.


One thing that the author could've done is add a few more characters because their were only six. Also  it got a bit boring after the killing. Over all CHERUB Brighands M.C is a good book, i think 10-13 is a good age because their some age appropriate langauge.

Speeches

In room 10 we have been doing speeches. We had a lot of topics to choose from I chose animals.
I chose three animals to research, the Sabre Tooth Tiger, the Wooly Mammoth and the Moa.
I found an astonishing fact about all of them:
The Sabre Tooth Tigers were not actually related to the modern tigers of Asia.
The Wooly Mammoth was not the only wooly prehistoric animal there was also the Wooly Rhino.
And the Moa's beak was as sharp as garden scissors and could easily cut a flax leaf.
My conclusion tells you that we should take care of the animals we still have and lead them away from extinction.
