Ways to Live Forever by Sally Nicholls review

                   
My name is Sam. I am eleven years old. I collect stories and fantastic facts. By the time you read this, I will probably be dead.

Sam loves facts. He wants to know about UFOs and horror movies and airships and ghosts and scientists, and how it feels to kiss a girl. And because he has leukaemia he wants to know the facts about dying. Sam needs answers to the questions nobody will answer.

This book is good. I liked the book. It's bascially a book about Sam Mcqueen who has leukaemia and wants to complete his bucket list before he dies. His best friend, Felix Stranger is the one who pushes him to do these things. Some things that are included on his bucket list is go up down esclators, break a world record and go on an airship. This book also has quite a few facts so you might learn something new. This is quite a sad book so if you're easily upset this book is not for you.

4/5

Ingo by Helen Dunmore review

    
"I wish I was away in Ingo Far across the briny sea, Sailing over deepest waters Where love nor care never trouble me. . . ."

By the Cornwall coast where Sapphire lives with her family, it's easy to hear the call of the sea. Too easy.

When the sea called to Sapphy's father, he vanished from her life. When the sea called to her brother, he started disappearing for hours on end. And now the sea is calling to Sapphy, and she feels its pull more strongly than she's ever felt anything in her life.

This book just didn't connect to me. I listened to it on audiobook. That's not why the book didn't connect to me. The narrator had an excellent voice but the book was just too slow paced. The text wasn't right and I just didn't like it. I liked the idea of there being a undersea world off the beach. I will get the next books in the series but that's only since I'm one of the people who just has to complete a series.

The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart review.

                              
Four children with unusual talents are recruited for a top- secret mission. There is only one rule- there are no rules. How can they work together to save the world? A cracking adventure begins...

I liked this book. It's easily the best book that i read this year.(Ka-ching!) The basic premise is that four gifted children are tasked with a mission that could change the world! They are in disgusie as students at an another school. Very exciting and many plot twists. Some bits are a bit slow paced but other than that, it is a very exciting book.

4/5
