Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer

The Artemis Fowl books are very good because there an easy read and funny.
My favourite Artemis Fowl book is the 1st one it is based on a kid genius that has discovered fairies; he manages to capture a LEPrecon police elf. Her name is Holly Short she is the only female elf
In the Elvin police force. She lives underneath the earth’s surface near the core at a mega city called Tara it is the biggest city under the surface.

He takes her back to his mansion which he inherited of his father it has security cameras a wall on all sides and Artemis’s own body guard called Butler he is a huge man compared to Artemis that can cook clean or use any weapon on earth or any thing as a weapon.

He is smart because he predicted the more advanced fairies had trackers on their armour he found the tracker in her helmet and had butler hide it on a boat where her commander Root came to rescue her. But he didn’t know that Artemis would play such a crafty trick: he strapped a sizeable bomb to the tracker root survived but had a whole new perception of Artemis fowl.

Holly had travelled above ground to get to a oak tree which she could regenerate her magic, all she had to do was put an acorn into the earth and her magic would come flooding back, but she had not been able to do this before she was abducted. What Butler and Artemis did not know was that she had stashed the acorn in her boot.

The rest of the LEPrecon was planning an attack at fowl manner due to the fact that humans could have access to weapons and technology that they were not ready for such as Holly’s side arm that could with a single blast blow a house up.

They had decided to take a master of “breaking and entering” out of jail to do the job – tunnelling under the manor get holly out so the LEP could blue rinse the place which was bio–bombing the place.

He failed to save them so they send in a troll to bash the place down but artemis has a plan that could get them all killed ….

So when Georgia’s dad goes away to New Zealand with his work, Georgia is left with her mum, little sister Libby and her cat Angus and she is hoping she can persuade her mum to let her have the birthday party without her dad being here.

Jas and Georgia are the closest out of all their friends and when these two utterly, fit boys come to there school they both get major crushes on both of them and try to get them to notice them . Georgia has her eyes on Robbie and Jas has her eyes on Tom. Tom and Robbie are both brothers but are not very much alike in personalities.

So will Georgia get her birthday party and will Jas and Georgia get the two boys they want? You will have to read it to find out.

I found this book amazing. After I started reading the book I couldn’t put it down. It made me laugh a lot and I liked it because it was set in a diary sort of way. I would recommend this for girls because I don’t really think boys would find this really that interesting to read . This is definitely a book worth reading!

Books to give you a fright!

Dracula – Bram Stoker
The original vampire novel this is a series of diary entries and similar that tells the story of Jonathan Harker who goes to Transylvania to sell property to an odd client and his fiancé left back in England. Dark, creepy and well worth a read.

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson
Mysterious villain is linked to a respectable man but more is going on than first appears. Short but brilliant.

Frankenstein: or `The Modern Prometheus' by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Chilling gothic tale – Dr. Frankenstein creates life from exhumed body parts but having succeeded no longer wants his creation. The creation then sets out to destroy his maker. Thought provoking and excellent.

Haunted by James Herbert
Haunted house – three nights to solve the mystery but will David Ash make it to the end? Classic atmospheric horror not much gore but plenty of scares.

The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe
A short story where a friend is invited to the home of Roderick Usher (a strange and troubled man) but upon the death of Roderick’s sister it takes a mysterious and creepy turn. Poe wrote a bunch of great ghost stories and creepy poems including ‘The Raven’ which is also well worth a read.

The Shining by Stephen King
King has written loads of horror classics many of which have been made into movies. The Shining is the story of a writer in a haunted hotel, who gradually becomes controlled by the ghosts. Very scary – to be read with all the lights on (the movie was an 18!).

The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
Nobody Owens lives in a graveyard with the ghosts for friends after the murder of his parents. But his parents murder won’t rest until Nobody is dead too! Page turning as well as award winning teen fiction. Gaiman also wrote ‘Coraline’ another creepy but excellent story.

You could also try- Don't Look Behind You by Lois Duncan, Ghost Chamber by Celia Rees or Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury.

The Looking Glass Wars - Frank Beddor

This was excellent! So easy to read but brilliant. It’s a reworking of Alice in Wonderland – still full of weirdness but much darker and with more blood shed. I loved the way the various characters are re-worked I loved the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat! The sequel ‘Seeing Redd’ has just been moved to my must read book pile.

Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry - Mildred D. Taylor

The story is told over a year through the eyes of Cassie (a 9 year old black girl in 1933 Mississippi). During the year her world changes as she discovers what her position in society is, or at least what the white folks who live nearby think it is, and why their opinion counts for so much. The warmth and love within her family gives an excellent grounding and allows for some truly horrific things to happen but because of Cassie’s faith in her family you always felt they would work out. Cassie’s protected perspective means the story came in bits of over-heard conversation or playground gossip so it takes a while for the whole picture to emerge and the consequences of actions to be revealed.

An excellent book well worth a read!

Books with Bite

First display of the year is books beyond Twilight. Vampire themed they include the traditional styles - Dracula by Bram Stoker and The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova . The girly vampire books like the Nightworld series by L.J. Smith or the Vampire Beach series by Alex Duval. Plus ‘Parliament of blood’ by Justin Richards, Vampirates Series by Justin Somper, Piggies by Nick Gifford (this one is all about what if Vampires were the norm and humans kept for food) and Vampire Kisses by Ellen Schreiber (Manga version).

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

I have just read this book once and will read it more and more because it is such a good book. She has four books all together and all are good. They are all about vampires and things like that. This book is really good if you like fiction. There is also a movie about the first one and they are making the others very soon. If you read all the books you will understand that one of the books will be hard to make into a movie but they are going to try it. You should read this book it is so good. I highly recommend this book.

This book is one of three books about “the Diamond brothers”. This book is about two brothers who worked normally together until one day they found themselves chasing a murderer. They meet MI5 for the first time and tell the police about it but when they go back to where the MI5 headquarters were but it seemed as if it was their imagination because it’s just their imagination. Anyway the two brothers eventually catch the murderer and all goes well. I really enjoyed reading this book and I suggest that you buy this book as you will be missing out on it if you don’t!

The Roarby Emma Clayton

Roar is a book set in the future in a city built because there isn’t enough space. The wall is built around the city to stop the plagued animals from entering. The city can only build up and is built in levels like a block of flats. The lower-class must live in the dinghy, moist shadows.

Mika and Ellie are the main characters they are twins who are separated when Ellie goes missing. Everyone tells Mika she is dead but he knows there is something else behind it.

I liked this book because it was a futuristic sci-fi novel. There was an element of awe added to it. The book was about a game where kids could win food and prizes for their families. It was played in a model of a jet fighter that twisted and turned as you drove and your partner could help you by gunning on the turret in the back. I loved it all except the ending, which I thought was terrible.
