Hi readers! I am doing a new review series on the Model Undercover books! Here is the first one......
A bit about the author
Carina Axelsson is a former fashion model. She has been in Elle and Vouge. She likes scooby doo and Agatha Christie which helped her write this brilliant series.
THE BOOK
Axelle (pronounced Excel) is unlike most teenage girls. She prefers to solve mysteries rather than look in Vouge or do make up but, due to her mother and an unfortunate incident (I am not telling any more!), her parents are sending her to Paris to be her aunts assistant for Paris Fashion week, as a punishment! She has to go undercover as a model to find the missing fashion designer Belle La Lune, even though that means, she has to be covered in make up and walk on sky high heels. With her distractingly gorgeous assistant, Sebastian, will she find the missing designer?
What I think about the book
I absolutely loved this book! It is brilliant for teenage girls who love fashion AND mysteries. Like Ruby Redfort it has a thrilling story line. It is quite thick but I couldn't put it down!
I think this book is good for 13+.
My rating 4 out of 5 as it is quite long so girls who don't enjoy reading might not want to read it.
I hope you will read this book!

Hi readers! Long time no see! Today I am reviewing one of Stacy Gregg's newer books, The Diamond Horse.
The main characters
Anna Orlov, Count Orlov (Anna's father), Ivan Orlov (Anna's mean brother), Countess Orlov (Anna's mother), Katia(The head maid) and Valentina (A circus performer).
The story line
Anna Orlov lives in a beautiful palace, home to many wonderful and exotic animals like tigers, bears and timber wolves. It is also home her cruel older brother, Ivan. When Anna doesn't do what her father wishes, after her mother dies, she has no idea of the dangers ahead.
Valentina is a circus performer with a pink horse and very big dreams. As she runs away to a dressage school she discovers another world of amazing horse riding.
What I think of the book
I loved this book and couldn't put it down until I had read the whole thing! It has a great story line and a brilliant variety of characters with many different personalities. I also liked that it is inspired by real life stories. Stacy Gregg's books have always been some of my favorites and I love reading them.
I rate this book 5 out of 5 as it is quite long and is a gripping read.
I would recommend this book to girls around 9 up as it is an amazing book and as I said, I couldn't put it down!
I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did!

Nathalia Buttface and the embarrassing camp catastrophe By Nigel Smith
Hi readers! Today I am reviewing the fifth book in the Nathalia Buttface series by Nigel Smith.
Nathalia Buttface real name is Nathalia Bumole (It's french and is pronouced bew-mol-ay) and her friend Darius has nicknamed her Buttface. Her dad Ivor Bumole is totally embarrassing and when he says he is going with her class on camp it is more than Nathalia can handle.
Whats even worse is that one of the camp owners Mr Bungee pretends that there is a woodland sprite called the Green Bogey and Nathalia's dad is given the "green bogey" hat and wears it everywhere embarrassing Nathalia even more than she thought he could!
Then Nathalia discovers that her class have to do a geography presentation against a posh school. Could Nathalia's life get any worse?
I really recommend this book for 9+ as it is really funny. If a parent read it to them it would also be great for 6+ as it is so funny.

Ruby Redfort: Book 6 Blink and you die by Lauren Child
Hi readers! Today you will be hearing about the final book in the Ruby Redfort series :(
I am sorry that I have taken sooo long to review it as it came out before Christmas!
As with all Ruby Redfort books there is an AMAZING plot. If you have read the other books you will know that there was another kid agent in spectrum many years ago.....but no one knows where he is and Ruby gets a hunch that the unsuspecting Morgan Loveday might just be..............................
And all of the good villans are back! Count Von Viscount and Lorelei Von Leyden are still trying to get Ruby Redfort......... But she's cleverer than them....Isn't she.....?
Dicing with death Ruby is on a mission to find Bradly Baker and to prove to LB she is a good a agent as Bradly ever was. Whats the larva training program? You'll have to read the book to find that out.
I loved this book and rate it 10 out of 10! It is a great end to a brilliant series.
Also did you know Ruby Redfort has a website? See where it is here!

P.S. This book is only suitable for readers above the age of 11+
