War Horse by Michael Morpurgo

Hi readers, Instead of reviewing a new book I thought I would do an older book!

War Horse by Micheal Morpurgo

The first world war has just started and Joey a farm horse is sold to the army and sent to the western front. The beautiful horse is trained for army work and helps injured soldiers. Will he get home?

My review
I loved reading War Horse (I read the whole thing in a hour and a half!). It is really good for older kids because it's about war. It is quite long but is definitely a brilliant book!

I hope you will read War Horse,

My Story: Blitz A wartime girl's diary 1940-1941

Hi readers, I haven't posted for ages as I have been very busy on my other blogs so I figured it was about time to catch up. I am doing a series of the My Story books. These are based around Historical events.

My Story: A wartime girl's diary 1940-1941 is by Vince Cross.
This diary is written by a fictional girl called Edie who is evacuated with her little brother to Wales. She is determined to stay strong but life in countryside proves to be tougher than the city. Edie is torn between obeying her parents and protecting her brother.... Will Edie and her little brother get back to the capital?

I loved this book and would recommend it for children 11+.

I hope you will read this book and enjoy it as much as I did,

My story: A Victorian girls diary 1871 Workhouse

Hi readers, todays review is one of the My Story series.

This book is written by Pamela Oldfield. The title is A Victorian girls diary 1871 Workhouse.

This book is really well written and shows what life was like during the Victorian era. Edith first visits the work house in the January of 1871 with her mother where she meets Rosie a rebellious, quick tempered orphan who regularly gets into trouble. When Edith finds herself drawn into Rosie's wild schemes they're lives are never the same. Will Rosie ever learn to behave?
I absolutely loved this book and would recommend it to 12+ unless a parent/Carer was reading it to them.

I hope you will read this book,

The Girl Who Rode the Wind by Stacy Gregg

Hi readers, today I am reviewing 'The Girl Who Rode the Wind' by Stacy Gregg.

Author
Stacy Gregg. She also wrote the Pony Club Secrets Series.

Story line
Lola and her Grandmother go back to Italy where her grandmother was born. When she gets there the ultimate street race awaits her. She discovers a dark family secret and a guilty shame that has hung over their name since the second world war. Will she prove herself against the toughest riders?

My review
I loved this book(couldn't put it down even when I went out to the guinea pigs!) and really recommend it to horse lovers. It is quite long(but I'm a fast reader!) but is still really good.

What age?
The book recommends 9+ but I think its more like 11+.

I hope you will read this book,

Book Worm :)
