Tom Gates - Top of the Class

Tom Gates. Top of the class. Nearly.
The Author is L. Pichon and the Illustrator is L. Pichon.

Tom Gates says his tips for being top of the class:

Stay awake in lessons (it helps).
Don't draw hilarious pictures of your teachers.
Avoid the class bully to stay out of trouble.
Don't let Mum and Dad write anything in your school planner.
Don't let your grumpy sister, Delia, boss you around. (Technically not a school issue - but still important.)
I'm trying to get voted onto the school council as well - but thanks to the above list it's not exactly going to plan.

Read this funny new book in our library!!

Whatever After: Sink or Swim #3

Author and illustrated by Sarah Mlynowski

There goes Abby and Jonah and this time they meet the little mermaid but this version  isn't your typical "Happily Ever After THE END" and does the little mermaid get her voice back in the original version? Also they have a lot of things to do:

• Convince the Little Mermaid to keep her tail
• Plan a Royal wedding
• and simply avoid getting EATEN BY SHARKS!!!!!

IT IS A LOT TO EXPLAIN that's why YOU need to read this book.

In my opinion this book is  fun, sad, cool, and amazing, (and a bit weird and disgusting.)  

I think this book is suitable for year 4-6 if they can handle it.

The Hunt for the Secret Papyrus

Geronimo was really looking forward to a sleep in BUT when his GRANDFATHER CALLED he needs to write about the PAPYRUS. But everywhere he goes, rodents know all about the papyrus except HIM!!! 

After this book YOU get a bonus as you can read about the CAT GANG!! and a couple of Geronimo's Famouse JOKES!!!

I think year 4-6 students should read them.

 I really LOVE this BOOK because there's a few important characters in this book that were in the series, so you would have to be a REALLY BIG FAN to recognize them.
I think kids should always remember and listen to the message in the story.
