Title: Simpson's comics extravaganza Type of story: Other How good was it: Ripper What happens: Homer grows into a giant and terrorises the city in his under dacks and gets a dart in his butt. Review by: Skye, age 12	Booktitle: Lester and Clyde Author: James H. Reece Type of story: other How good was it: OK What happens: Lester and Clyde seems to be a book about frogs but it has human related issues.   Lester is the eldest brother who is resposible and Clyde is a big trickster. One day Clyde decides to have some fun. What will happen when Clyde is evicted from his home? And what will happen when he can't find a new home due to human polution? I like this book because it has human related issues and says how much we as humans, are destroying nature. I recommend this book for children aged between 8 and 13 because older readers would pick up the important issues and messages more than younger children. Review by : Jessica. E, age 11

This time together allows Millie and Tom to bond and changes the way Millie looks at people. Millie and the Night Heron is a very entertaining novel that you just don't want to stop reading. I rated it 4 out of 5 stars. This book is meant for 9-12 year olds. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a great read. Review by: Nicola, age 11.

A hilarious, light hearted adventure that makes you feel like you're in the story. I recommend it to any one from 8 and up. Very imaginative and a book that will make you smile!

She gets into trouble at first, because she tells lies about her nextdoor neighbour and writes about family secrets. Her mum bans her from uncovering news in the house.

Review by: Jackie, age 10	Book title: Once Author: Morris Gleitzman Type of story: Adventure How good was it: Ripper What happens:  Its about about a little boy who was put in an orphanage and goes out looking for his parents but discovers the truth.

Book title: Specky Magee Author: Felice Arena and Gary Lyon Type of story: Adventure How good was it: Ripper What happens: Simon (Specky) Magee is a teenage boy who loves Aussie Rules. Specky barracks  for 5 teams and is more a fan of the game than any particular team. But then one day Specky found a photo that could change his life forever. Was he adopted? Could his real Dad be a footy legend? Specky was determined to find out the truth. I feel that this is a fantastic book because of all Speckys different heart wrenching experiences.  I recommend this for children over 10. Some of the themes are not suitable for young children. Review by: Emily, age 12  ------------------------------------------------------ How good was it: Ripper What happens: Specky finds out that he is adopted. He goes to the grand final with Chris Kicks. He was determined to find his real parents and he tries to find out why his parents dressed him in Geelong gear when he was a baby. My favourite part was when he found out his dad went for Geelong. Type of story: Adventure Review by: Jezza, age 9 ------------------------------------------------------ How good was it: Ripper What happens: Specky had a dad who hated football and Specky loved football.  One day in Specky's grand final, the siren went and Specky marked the ball on the siren. The score was 50 to 47, if Specky got the goal they would win. If Specky missed they would lose. Specky's day wasn't there and it is what made him miss so they lost. Type of story: Other Review by: Billy, age 9 ------------------------------------------------------ How good was it: Ripper What happens:  The story is about a boy who tries to find his biological father. I think its a great book for all ages (if they can read). The boy is a footy star and he finds out about being adopted in a newspaper article. He goes onto a footy chat room and finds someone called Chris Kicks and they meet up at the grand final and Geelong wins and they meet and Chris Kicks is a girl and her name is Christina. Type of story: Other Review by: Cuchulainn, age 8 ------------------------------------------------------ Book title: Collins Primary Dictionary Type of story: Other How good was it: Ripper What happens: The Collins Dictionary is a fantastic dictionary for primary aged students and people just going to high school. (maybe even a copy at home might help). The Collins dictionary is a very new dictionary so it has a lot of the modern words we use today. So all round it is a fantastic dictionary  for primary aged students!!!!!!!!! Review by: Daniel & Josh age 12  ------------------------------------------------------ Type of story: Funny How good was it: Ripper What happens: Its a dictionary from the dictionary making company called Collins. I read the whole dictionary in the space of 24 hours during the holidays cause I was bored. Anyway, it is a good dictionary and it is worth reading. Review by: Daniel, age 12
