The Secret Mountain by Enid Blyton

Reviewed by Kimberly in Grade 5 Keller

When Mike, Peggy and Nora's parents disappear in Africa on a flying quest they run away to find them with their friends; Jack and Paul. They soon find out that their parents are being held prisoners on a Secret Mountain. But who are the dangerous red-haired people who live there and will they have enough time before they must return to England? Just why is the mountain yellow too?

Kimberly says: "My favourite part is when they find the way into the mountain but there is a surprise waiting for them. I love this book because it kept me in suspense and I always wanted to carry on reading it. It is funny and interesting. I love all Enid Blyton books, they are always well-written. I think this book is suitable for readers between the age of 7 and 12. If you like mystery then this book is for you. It also has some funny parts."

How To Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell

Reviewed by Allen in Grade 5 Keller

This book has adventure, dragons and vikings. This is a diary from a viking boy who is not like the other boys. He's a little on the short side but he can speak Dragonese. He's got a friend who is nearly as strange as him.

Allen says: " My favourtie part is when Hiccup becomes toothless and when they destroy a big dragon. For me, I think it's a great book and there's more books about Hiccup to enjoy. I would recommend this to people who love dragons and action between the ages of 9 and 12."

Mia says: "It was one of the best book I have ever read. It helps you realise what you can go through with friends or what you might have to go through with friends some day. I think this is a book for girls who are over the age of twelve. This is not suitable for younger children."
