  1. I haven't heard of this. Can you provide a bit more info - like the author's name, perhaps!

     

    Also give us a bit of detail. What's it about? Who is it aimed at (it sounds like another children's book - you've also posted about Jacqueline Wilson and Harry Potter tonight).

     

    It is by Patricia Bernard.

     

    It is about a boy whose dad has died meaning his mum wants to move back to the city instead of staying at the farm.

     

    His mum rents a house from a sleazy owner and his neighbours consist of a crying baby and a bad tempered man and his timid wife.

     

    He makes friends with an old woman and a young girl and he make enemies at his new high school.

     

    He resucues a Kangaroo and hides it at home from everyone until his friends finds out then he lets his other friend in on the secret.

     

    The bad kids at school then decide to kidnap the Kangaroo and some chapters later the story ends, great dialougue between the characters.

  2. I hate the films but I love the books to death!

     

    The characters, the writing, the magical world, the friendship of Harry/Ron/Hermione!

     

    I have to say SNAPE is a personally fave along Umbridge! POA was particualrly well written and always stands out to me for some reason.

     

    Anyone think the last few books were too long or not long enough!?

     

    I want to hear anything and everything/likes and dislikes/happy memories etc!

     

    Have a great time discussing!
