Over the past week, all of Mr Malone’s 5th class reviewed some books from our school library. Here are some of the books that were reviewed in our classroom.  

 

Golden Goal by Dan Freedman

In this book, a boy named Jamie Johnson wants to be a professional footballer. He wants to follow in his Grandad’s footsteps. His Grandad played for Hawkshore United. However, his Mum and Step-Dad Jeremy don’t think he can make it as a footballer. The question is, will Jamie make it as a professional footballer? You’ll have to read it to find out.

I enjoyed the book because I love football and it tells you what it takes to become a professional footballer.

I would recommend this book for students in fifth and sixth class.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Cabin Fever by Jeff Kinney

This book is about a boy named Greg and he has a tough life. Greg gets himself into big trouble at school. Suddenly, a snow storm hits and everywhere becomes covered in 3ft of snow. Greg is trapped in his house because of the snowstorm. While he is trapped, Greg’s brother Manny smashed his mother’s glasses. Greg has to take care of Manny because his mother can’t see and she can’t get a new pair until the snow is gone.

I enjoyed this book and I found it very interesting. I like the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. I would recommend this book for 4th, 5th and 6th class.

You should try this book out! Diary of a Wimpy Kid is one of the best-selling kids books.

The Witches by Roald Dahl

At the beginning of this book, a boy and his parents are driving to his Grandma’s house in Norway. Sadly, they are in a car crash and his parents die. The boy then moves to live with his Grandma. His Grandma tells him stories about witches. One summer, the boy and his grandma go to a hotel and meet some real life witches.

I enjoyed the book because it’s really interesting. It’s a bit sad at the start but at the end it is much happier.

I would recommend this book for 4th and 5th class because it’s a really easy book for those classes. I found the book funny when the witches were described.
