Kids’ Book Reviews Get your nose stuck in a book... Our Kids Book Review Panel is a group of children from across the UK who have an avid interest in reading. They receive books from us on a regular basis and post their reviews online. To see reviews for other titles visit www.primarytimes.net/reviews/ J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World: Movie Magic Vol. One, by Jody Revenson Published by: Walker Books. ISBN: 1406376094 Reviewed by Lillie, aged 9 from Devon: I really enjoyed the book, I learnt a lot about a film/book I haven’t seen yet (Fantastic Beasts and where to find them) and I found a lot of useful things on Harry Potter. It has great pictures and some characters I didn’t even know about. I loved the pop-up things inside, I found reading it lots of fun! A must for any Harry Potter Fan (like me)! Double Down (Diary of a Wimpy Kid book 11) by Jeff Kinney Published by: Puffin. ISBN: 0141373016 Reviewed by Alex, aged 8 from North Yorkshire: I really like the Wimpy Kid books because they are funny and easy to read. It is about a wimpy kid called Greg, who has two annoying brothers as well as an annoying mum! Greg is always trying to be more popular and normally his plans don’t go very well... When Greg tries to film a horror movie, everything seems to be against him and when a flock of wild geese come after his film props (gummy worms), he has to admit defeat. This book was great, I really enjoyed it. You don’t need to have read other Wimpy Kid books to enjoy this one! The Bad Guys, by Aaron Blabey Published by: Scholastic Press. ISBN: 0545912407 Reviewed by Eddie, aged 7 from Devon: The book was good to read. It was funny and they are good guys, not bad guys! There are lots of pictures on every page which makes it easy to enjoy. I can’t wait to read Episode 2. Secret Princesses: Pop Princess, by Rosie Banks Published by: Orchard Books. ISBN: 1408336146 Reviewed by Gracie, aged 8 from Derbyshire: This book is about Mia and Charlotte, who have to get 4 gems to get a pure gold crown and stop Princess Poison and Hex destroying Wishing Star Palace. I liked the bit where they helped Samira to not feel shy by granting her three wishes. The wishes were a new guitar, new clothes and makeup and that her family was at the concert with Samira. I didn’t like the bit where Hex broke Samira’s guitar which made her really upset. I enjoyed the book and I think it was one of my favourite books I’ve read. In at the Deep End, by Michelle Magorian Published by: Barrington Stoke Ltd. ISBN: <strong>17</strong>81125023 Reviewed by Ellie, aged 9 from Devon: This book is about a boy called Ben who has to swim 100 lengths for charity, he waits for his friends but they don’t turn up! He then has help from Betty, a ‘wrinkly’, and Ben learns if your friends let you down, there is still someone there to help and age doesn’t matter! This book is easy to read and teaches you to believe in yourself. 22 <strong>Primary</strong> <strong>Times</strong>, <strong>West</strong> <strong>London</strong> • <strong>Feb</strong>ruary Half Term 20<strong>17</strong> Don’t forget to say you saw it in <strong>Primary</strong> <strong>Times</strong>!
