Lola Rose (Personal Fave!)

Name: Lola Rose

Auther: Jacqueline Wilson (Yes another Jacqueline book!)

Blurb: When life at home suddenly gets really frightning, Jayni, her mum and her little brother Kenny have to pack their bags and escape in the middle of the night. They also have to choose new names - and so jayni becomes the glamorous, grown up Lola Rose!

But Lola Rose's life isn't quite as wonderful as her new name. And when mum has to go into hospital, Lola Rose is forced to be much more grown up than she really feels.

Reccomendation: I Loved this book as much as I did with Midnight. And look at that, same auther! This book would be for the ages of about... 8 - 16! But probably ofr the older ones.

For the parents, the main gist of it is that there is a normal family, but the dad has a problem and is always hitting the mum. One night he hits the daughter as well as the mother, so they run away. They try and have a new life, but because the dad hit the mother, she got breast cancer. And I know it sounds really depressing, but it is really a good book!

I woudl rate this ****1/2 stars! I love it!

The Left Behind Series Book 1: The Vanishings

This series of about 12 is about...well you read the blurb:

Blurb:
Millions around the globe disapear. Those left behind face an uncertain future, espesially four kids who now find themselves alone.
As the kids search for help and for answers, they are told the truth behind the disapearances. but are they ready to beleive it?

Reccomendation:
I really liked this book, It explaines rather well the emotions going on while the kids, who have been left behind, by themselves try to live. Its a christian thing, but i would still reccomend it if your not a christian...Don't know what else to write...
If you read the first one, anf find it kiddy, or something, there is an one, haven't read it yet, but am planning to!

so far, i would have to say **** 4 stars!

Untill later, Caity

Determined to make the best if things, Sopie travels to the one place where she might get help - The moving castle which hovers on the nearby hills.
But the castle belongs to the dreaded Wizard Howl whose appetite, they say, is only by the hearts of young s...

Reccomendation:
I loved this book, but that may have been because i loved the movie which has just come out on DVD. I think that kids from the age of at least 10 and over would enjoy this book, as long as they like fantasy and witches and wizards, and stuff like that. There are bits when they are talking about spells and such but nothing that could corrupt a kids mind into witchcraft.
Anyway, i would rate this film 4 out of 5 stars

I'm going to try to keep updatng as soon as possible.
