We enjoyed Boss of Your Own Mind because it teaches us to be the boss of only yourself and not other people. It reminded us that we don’t have to agree with others or ask the same questions, even if they are our friend.

We liked this story because it used rhyming words and it was funny! It involves a tiny dog, a mean pig and a kind, clever wolf. And funny golden pants! Wolfred is kind and caring and it made us feel good.

It is a great fiction novel that brings a lot of magic, friendship, and a touch of adventure into an AMAZING story. It follows the lives of two sisters Flick and Birdie who have the ability to make wishes come true, thanks to the Imp in the bottle - however, these wishes are often not as simple as they might seem.

It was very funny and entertaining. I loved that it teaches you about responsibility and that you have to work hard for money. It doesn’t just fall off trees! It’s such a great book.

This book takes you to a world of happiness, joy and excitement as well as pain and sadness but, most of all, the feeling of realisation and understanding. Being Jimmy Baxter really puts your own life into perspective. Truly a moving and thought-provoking story.

Like A Girl has so many twists and turns! The book launches into the mean girl drama right away, and has cool characters with fun personalities. Like A Girl is unique as it shows a lot of texting all throughout the book.

I really enjoyed Keeper of the Lost Cities because it was immersive from the start ot the finish. The world-building was rich with unique magical elements that kept me hooked. The characters were relatable and complex, and I loved seeing Sophie navigate the challenges of a hidden world. The suspense, mysteries and plot twists made it a page-turner and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next in Sophie’s journey.
