I have just finished this latest instalment of The Wardstone Chronicles, and I like some others rate this as the best so far, even though I did kind of guess what was going to happen/be explained, and let me admit I don't feel at all guilty about reading 'kids' books - and I'm 36, (might feel abit guilty about ignoring the family while reading though).
I stumbled upon the series late last year and eagerly read one after the other, now I'm in the position I was in a few years ago when I had to wait for the next Potter book.
Our unlikely heroes Macro and Cato are once again expected to save the day. Not just content with fighting the natives, and watching their backs, now they have Druids to contend with. Will these 2 mismatched friends save the day? Well worth reading to find out! Excellent series of books.... highly recommended

This is a wonderful adaptation. The acting is really great - the voices are perfect in my mind, particularly Lyra, Will, Mrs. Coulter, the gyptians... Lord Asriel's seems perhaps strange to start with, but before long he seems great for the job. I agree with the above that the adaptations could have merited from being a bit longer - but having read the books and then listened to these it's not actually that noticable. The adapters have done well in condensing it to this space, spending most time on the most important bits - the end of the first book, for example. The adapters clearly have a great love of the book and Lavinia Murray has done a great job into adapting into two CDs worth, and the acting is really great. Highly recommended!

Believe the hype, this is sensational. There's not a dull sentence. The best thing is the description you rely feel that you are Alex. His anger, his happens ,his excitement. You share all his emotions.
Eagle Strike will please adults and children. Kids will love the action and adventure Adults will be reminded of what is was like when they wanted to be James Bond.
Alex Rider is arguably better than Harry Potter. This is a dam good read, but Scorpia is twice as good. Your a fool to turn it down

In the first book of this series Colfer introduced us to the genius-criminal mind of Artemis Fowl. The enterprising teenager was able to steal a fair amount of gold from the fairies, in his quest to return his family to its proper place and recover his father. But we also got to see a more human side of Artemis and understand that he was not exactly as he was portraying himself to the rest of the world. In this book these traits start to come out more and more.
We know that Artewmis' father has disappeared in an accident a couple of year ago and that there have been no news about his situation.
