The Thornthwaite Inheritance

The Thornthwaite Inheritance winner of the Blue Peter book of the year 2012 is about two kids Ovid and Lorelli Thornthwaite. Ovid and Lorelli have been trying to kill each other for a very long time but all of a sudden they decide to make a truce. But not for long Ovid and Lorelli start again or are they?
 
Mr.Farthing is going to create this " truce" but since he lives so far away the "truce" will take forever because he lives 2 hours away from the Thornthwaite Manor  he is invited to live in the Manor, but his son Adam Farthing onc ehe set his eyes on  one of the twins his whole inside changes forever.



I really like this book it has lots mysteries and strange things happening. A bit of love and bit of adventure. I can truely understand why it won Blue Peter award 2012.

The Considine Curse

Mariel doesn't know that she has long lost cosins and aunts and uncles.  There is a wierd thing about the Consodine family because every night Mariel (the normal cosin) wakes up and finds a bed empty and a window flung open.

Will Mariel ever discover the great mystery about the Consodine?

I would recommend this book for children from 9-14.

The Thornthwaite inheritance

The Thornthwaite inheritance is all about twins, Lorrelli and Ovid, that are always trying to kill each other.  But one day that all started to stop because of the most tragic thing happened: their dad had died and they say it was all because of his wife.  His wife had put poison in the food and the police  found out.  But the wife died as well because she was on the phone when there was a lightning strike. And that sent her straight to the ground so Lorrelli and Ovid had no parents .  But they had butlers and maids so they kind of came as their parents especially Mr Clucher.

 Mr Clucher told Ovid and Lorrelli that they would get the inheritance but what  Mr Clucher did not know was that their mum and dad had said if one of them or both of them died they would both share  the inheritance on their 16th birthday and they were only 11. There was a lawyer who came to stay at the Thornthwaites' and the lawyer brought over his son and they were very suspicious about his son because he was loving but faking loving.

I recommend  this book for kids age 10 above because it can have a sharp middle ...... read it.
