This a set of 5 books. They are fun, adventurous and really exciting.I have enjoyed reading them with my Mummy and Daddy. The stories are about 3 children called Simon, Jared and Mallory and their adventures with creatures like goblins and boggarts. They go on a quest to find their great uncle.

I book this book at a charity shop. I had never read it but had seen TV and film dramatisations and it was on my list of books to read, along with Jane Eyre, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, and Shirley (Brontes). I found the story and characters in Little Women very boring and it seemed to take an age to read. Thank goodness I'd read the Bronte books first; these are the 'classics'

Installment 4 of series three of Warrior Cats. Eclipse is my favourite book of the third series of Erin Hunter's fabulous Warrior Cats books. For those who miss the feel of the first series, set in the old forest camps, this will probably please, as it embodies some of the atmosphere and writing of that series. As always the excellent writing builds tension throughout the book and there are ample surprises. My only disappointment was the ending. All the books in series three seem to have rather hurriedly finished endings! That said, can't wait for the next book.

A lovely read, I find myself reaching time and time again for this book because of the hilarious "comments" made my Ron Weasley and Harry Potter. This really does remind of a fantasy textbook, in the way that we would all love to scribble in our textbooks from time to time, to enliven the dull formulas and such that we all have had to learn! However, this is anything but dull.
JK Rowling goes into detail about mythical creatures, all of which are very interesting to read, partly due to the fact that most of them have been mentioned in the Harry Potter series, and you find yourself giving a little smile of recognition once every two minutes.
Funny, short, and a wonderful thing to keep on your bookshelf - if you have a few ... Read More:

WOW! Another 9th birthday gift for my daughter in May off her grandma, it may seem like a lot of money but in several high street stores they were selling them separately for £30 each and the cheapest I saw this set for was £175!!! Each book is wonderfully bound with gold leaf edge on the pages and a copy of JK's signature on each book, they are beautifully presented in a VERY sturdy box with a ribbon to hold them all in.
A great must have gift for any Harry Potter fan.

'Girls in love' is a great book perfect for when you've recently been dumped!!! I loved the book especially as i've just started high school so i virtually know what teenage life is like! I think that this book is perfect. I can't wait to read 'Girls under pressure!'

I found out about this book when I came across her website. Liking what I saw I decided to get her book from my local library ( a definate pattern here ) and was blown away by what she had created in her book. A few months later I now have this book all to myself :D as a birthday presant.

By the time I was 10 years old and a friend gave me this (first) Blyton book, I already had read hundreds of Swedish, American, French and German childrens books, good ones and boring ones, but "Five on a Trasure Island" was totally different.
I had read "Robinson Crusoe" before, but never had read anything about secret tunnels or small islands with castles on it.
Enid Blytons books inspired my imagination much much more than other books (even Astrid Lindgren or Arthur Ransome or Nesbitt) did.
Til this day when I cannot fall asleep, I imagine being in Dorset, walking down to the beach at Kirrin Bay on a sunny day and rowing the boat to Kirrin Island. This always does the trick and makes me fall asleep in the end. Thank you, Enid ... Read More:

I queued up for this book on the 15th of July 2005, and it was worth it. This book is definitely one of my favourite Harry Potters, along with COS, GOF and DH.
There was so much going on, unlike OOTP, and I loved all the memories and Dumbledore and Harry looking for the Horcruxes.
It was interesting to see how Malfoy's character developed from book one onwards, and I think that in this book in particular you see what he will become. I thought him being a death eater was a great idea, and I enjoyed reading about how he dealt with all the problems.
Also, I found Harry and Ginny's relationship a delight to read about; Ron's reaction was quite pleasing- as I was reading it I thought he would not allow Harry to go out with Ginny, ... Read More:
