Mary Queen of Scots

Have you  heard of Mary Queen of Scots?

Even if you have, this book will tell you that she is very famous for

• "having terrible taste in husbands"
• "totally losing her head on a chopping block".

       Mary was crowned Queen when she was a baby and her mother had to leave her when that happened, so she didn't actually see that happen (I will let you find out about that if you read it).

      Mary used to write to her mother and she always boasted about  her coronation but this made her mum sad!

     Mary was 15  years old when she was married  and her husband was a year younger than her, so he was 14!!! Thankfully, at least we do not marry at that age today, because I'd only have 6 more years until I would, you know...aah be married - what a terrible thought!

  

   So the book tells us at first that it seemed as though Mary had married  a good man, but then we find out that he died when he was 17 because he had so many colds - what a wimp!!

     

  I think you should read this book because it tells you facts and it is so funny.  The pictures are very good and it has lots of cartoons in it and that means that it is easier than ever to understand.

Mr Stink

This book is about a girl who has a very boring life, to begin with. She is 11 years old and she looks more like a nine year old.
Her name is Chloe and  she is not very clever  and for that reason she meets Mr Stink who is a tramp.

I recommend this book to anyone who likes fantasy
and humour and if you've read Rohld Dahl's books, well, David Walliams is just  like a modern-day Rohld Dahl.


Chloe's sister Annabelle is so clever and never has a second to stop and take a deep breath because she has all these clubs  to go to, but I can't tell you about them  because you can read it for your self.
Mr Stink  has a dog but he is very old so Mr Stink tries to look after him  ( oh sorry the dog is a girl how could I forget!) but as he is a tramp he has no money so it is quite hard to keep her with him.
As well as poor Chloe not being very clever, she also gets picked on by Rosamund the mean girl at school.  There are lots of things that Rosamund and Chloe don't like about each other and Rosamund especially hates Chloes friendship with Mr Stink.

 I get the impression that Rosamund is jealous because she says "Who is this? Your new boyfriend?"  But don't tell her I said that or she will get mad at me! Chloe hates Rosamund because she put... (ok I have told you too much about the story so I will tell you more about Mr Stink).

Mr Stink smells and he has not had a bath for ages and so does his dog well I know it is rude to say about ladies but ooh she smells, well that's what Chloe says anyway.  He sleeps on a bench in the park in the same old smelly hard clothes all the time.

I read this book because I heard that it was a good book - and it is!  If you read it you can imagine that you are actually there watching it all happen under your nose, just let the words wash around you like music - I'm sure that you will enjoy it as much as I did!

Cool!

This story is about a boy called Robbie.  He steps on the road to go fishing with his dad but how does he get in the coma?

Will Robbie wake up from the coma and will his dog Lucky come back from the dead and be with him again?

When Robbie is in hospital in come his friends to see him. He seems to be very happy and thrilled to hear their voices again and when he thinks things Tracy the nurse says them.  

I recommend this book for everyone only if you like sad stories and like dogs.
