Book Reviews Title: The Ice Monster Author: David Walliams Book review by: Isabelle Windsor What is the book about? Rating (out of 5 stars) This book is about an orphan called Elsie who lives in the streets of London. One day, a woolly mammoth is revealed in the ice found in the North Pole. As it was 10,000 years old, it was obviously dead and so Elsie and a professor bought it back to life, then… …what a daring journey they had to take to get Wooly back home. It turned out that millions of mammoths lived in the North Pole! My Opinion: Brilliant! I enjoyed this story very much. It’s an amazing story to read if you are fond of animals. My favourite character in the book has to be Wooly the mammoth. Title: The Knife of Never Letting Go Author: Patrick Ness Book review by: Miss Bradshaw What is the book about? Rating (out of 5 stars) Imagine you’re the only boy in a town of men. You can hear everything they think. They can also hear everything you think. Imagine you don’t fit in with their plans… Todd Hewitt is just one month away from the birthday that will make him a man. But his town has been keeping secrets from him. Secrets that are going to force him to run… My Opinion: Fantastic! A really gripping read with lots of twists and turns to keep the reader interested. I love the characters and the development of the story. My favourite part is the mind reading. I love that there are no secrets yet Todd has to try and keep one. I’m looking forward to reading the next in the series. New Revision Area Come and see our brand new revision area which is stocked with the latest GCSE revision guides and past exam papers. The Library offers a calm, quiet space for revision and we highly recommend that our students make use of this space and the resources.
