Title: Room 13
Author: Robert Swindell
ISBN: 0-440-86227-2This book is about about a group of children who go on a school trip, to a sinister house. And every night, at a certain time, something happens.
I chose this book because some of my friends who read this book gave quite good comments about it. It keeps your concentration as you work out what's happening.
My favourite part was when they found the source of their problems, the vampire. The characters are believable. The action moves along quickly and I think the last part will surprise the reader.The book is quite easy to read and the author uses the words imaginatively.
I would like to read more books by this author, but I don't think any of his other books can compare to this one.
I would recommend this book to my best friend.

Title: Harriet's HareThis book was given to me by a friend. It is about a girl called Harriet who is home for the holidays with her dad because her mom had died when she was young. They live on Longhanger Farm and one morning Harriet hears a noise in the wheat field outside. There was a hole in the middle and she goes to inspect it. There she meets a strange hare from the planet Pars who can change into any shape he wants to. This hare is a wizard because he does magic in Harriet's life, becomes her friend and is then named Wiz. Read to find out the rest. My favourite parts are when she meets Wiz and the end that is a surprise! This book has showed me how lucky I am to have all that I have. I have already read many of Dick King-Smith's books and have also done a project on him. I would recommend this book to anyone you likes animals ( or even if you don't!)

I have read a breath taking book called The Shark Callers,it is about a family running from an volcanoe and a young man who is going to be a Shark Caller.Eventually a tsuniami takes both of them into the water.Sadly the family survives but the other young mam is killed.This book is for people who want action and adventure.
