Tiger Posted June 7, 2006 Author Posted June 7, 2006 The first day at school wasn't a bad one: I got in the Achievement Book for making Cosmo so carefully, we did some singing practice for Oliver Twist and we played loads of spoirts games, like Hockey, Basket ball, Tennis, Babmington and Cricket. I will soon start My Mum's From Pluto by Gwyneth Rees. I hope that I'll enjoy it as much as Shakespeare's Secret! Quote
Tiger Posted June 9, 2006 Author Posted June 9, 2006 Tiger's And here's one of Shakespeare's Secret by Elise Broach... Click here to see the hidden message (It might contain spoilers) With a Shakespearian name like Hero, settling into a new town is never that easy. At least this time, there's a mystery to be solved: who robbed a priceless diamond? Why does old Mrs Roth know so much about the event? And why is Danny, mot popular boy in town, so desperate to help? I haven't read the whole book yet, but for me it still works a treat for me! So far: 10/10 Well... I was very wrong. The old owner of the house hid it in the porch light, but when Danny and Hero found it, Danny sent it to his mum Quote
Maureen Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Are you pleased that you did not manage to solve it, or would you rather have done so Tiger? Quote

But what type of dolphin? Well, this one is about the second largest dolphin, the Pilot Whale. I'm currently reading it and am already on page 87- it's a good book! Quote

Tiger Posted June 15, 2006 Author Posted June 15, 2006 The Plotless, Pointless, Pathetic Sir Glame was hilarius (SP)- now one of my favourite books. It'll be such a shame to return it back to the library!- LOL Quote
Sarahrob Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 The Witches (Roald Dahl) 10/10 I love Roald Dahl. The imagination in his stories is fantastic. I love the Quentin Blake illustrations as well - they really bring the books to life! Quote
Kell Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 You certainly race through those books, Tiger! I love Roald Dahl too - The Twits is still one of my favourites to this day. have you read that one yet? And I'll look forward to hearing what you think of A Series of Unfortunate Events, as i'm thinking of getting hold of that one myself... Quote
Sarahrob Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 Oh I love the Twits. When I first read it my dad had a beard and it started to freak me out a bit! I think my favourite would be Revolting Rhymes, especially the retelling or Red Riding Hood! Quote
Kell Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 Ooh, yes - Little Red Riding Hood was fantastic! Along with Cinderella Bigfoot - hahaha! Quote
Tiger Posted June 15, 2006 Author Posted June 15, 2006 I'd love to borrow The Twits from the library on Saturday! It sounds good and rather funny. I hear that Kell laughed her socks off! Quote
Kell Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 I did in deed. I adored the Mugglewump family. And you'll laught like a loony over Hug-tite sticky glue - ROFL! Quote
Kell Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 There are lot of Roald Dahl books (including The Twits) available on Read it Swap it, Tiger - I thought you might be interested to know. Quote
Sugar Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 I see that you have some Michael Morpurgo on your list, Tiger. Have you read the Amazing Story of Adolphus Tips? It's a really good book about a girl and her pet cat. It's set in the second world war, but it's not a war book and has a really interesting twist in it. From what you have read, and what I've seen said, I think you would enjoy it. Quote
Tiger Posted June 16, 2006 Author Posted June 16, 2006 I would like that book one day, Sugar! In fact, I've read the blurb and it looks really good! Quote
wiccibat Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 I noticed you read My mum's from pluto, what was it like? The title intrigues me. Quote
Tiger Posted June 17, 2006 Author Posted June 17, 2006 Oh, it was funny! The main character's mum was a teacher and had promised him that she won't embarass him again. Of course, that was a great big laugh as it was a massive lie. The adventures in it were funny! Quote
Tiger Posted June 17, 2006 Author Posted June 17, 2006 Today I went to the library again, I chose: The Twits Fawn in the Field The Secret Life of Elizabeth I Horrible North and South Poles Quote
Kell Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 Enjoy your new haul of books, Tiger. I especially hope you enjoy The Twits - it's one of my all-time favourites! Quote
