Review: - i think this is a very funny book that shows the angle of a superhero brilliantly from a different side the side of the ghost and skeleton. It is so refreshing to see a skeleton as the hero for once.

I must congratulate Malcolm for this book. It is a fantastic
book and kept me on the end of my chair. I am reading a speech about his book on the day, on behalf of my school, St Josephs RCHS, Horwich. I will look forward to the event.
 
From - Simon
 
This was a great book. It was unpredictable with a good plot. There were all different characters and they all had diffferent personalities which showed throughtout the book. I will definitely read other books by the same author. It was a horror and it was different from all the other books i have ever read before.
 
From - Anna and Rachael
 
I enjoyed this book from start to finish. I loved it because
it wasnt too descriptive because that spoils a book it was an excellent read due to the fact that it kept moving. If a book is good then you can paint a picturte of it and this book did just that!!!!!!!

The start of this book is great, it is descriptive and
interesting, but the end is not as good. The downside of the ending is that it is too descriptive and very, very, very boring

Girl Missing

Author: Sophie McKenzie
 
Brilliant! Really exciting! It keeps you hooked onto the
story line. It makes you think that could be a true story without the extremes. the way Jam helps Lauren through the hard times is the best. I love it!
 
FROM:- gemma p
 

The main caracters were lauren and jam. My favorate caracter was lauren. The basic plot of the story was about lauren (who was adopted) she finds out that she was stolen from her real mum, she goes on a jurney to find her real mum but gets kidnapped and left to die on the way.
It is an ok book ... 7/10
 
From: Elliee Allison
 

I Found The book Girl Missing an excellent read and very
twisting and turning. Considering this was a first novel I am very suprised about how outstanding it was from the other books that i have read including The Howling Tower And The Shapeshifter Finding The Fox.
However I am NOT saying that these were rubish books . I have a request to Sophie McKenzie [if she reads this] to reply to my review. (helenluvchcio@hotmail.co.uk)

I think the book missing girl that is one of the chosen
books for this year is a very good book!
 
from Kirsty Clarke
 
Girl missing is a rele intresting book by sophie mckanzie. Girl missing is one of Sophie's first published books and i think it will be the b3st. Maybe ........ Girl missing is a good book and a very exciting one 2. I did like the end and the discriptive parts like how she created a sense of excitment by describing the characters.......

I think Girl Missing is a great book. I really enjoyed
reading it because it is very exciting. It is realistic because this really do happen in real life.
 
FROM: Jenny Wong
 

 
The main characters are Lauren and Jam. They are best
mates. my fave character was Jam becuse he is very trustworthy and is a good mate.
I dont like lauren too much as she is a drama queen and wants everything to revolve around her. The plot of the book is for Lauren a.k.a Martha to find her real parents as she thinks she is adopted. She thinks this because she sees a picture of her on a missing website and thinks that
she was stolen and she wants to find her real parents. The most exciting part in the book was when Sonia Holtwood took jam and lauren. the best thing aout the books were they were exciting and you never know what is going to happen next it heeps giving cliffhangers. The worst thing about the book is that you couldnt put it down for a single minute. This book helped me feel how people who are adopted feel and how they feel when they find out they have been adopted. I think that people who have feelings and a heart would liket his book and people who have doubts whether they are adpted or not. It gives you a way in which you can check and what to and waht not to do about it and different options you could choose. Out of ten i would give this book a 100000 because it is a
fabulous book and i recommend it to everyone.

Worm in The Blood

Indigo Blue
 
I have been reading "Indigo Blue" by Cathy Cassidy.
 
Although I haven't read all of this book, I know for sure that it is VERY GOOD!!! I have figured so far that Indigo and her family are moving and then she realises WHY they had to RUN AWAY.... the characters (so far) are: Indigo, Misti, Jo, and Indigos mum. My favourite character is Indigo, because she is the kind of day-dreaming dozy girl that I go for. The people that I recommend this book to are people who realise that there are problems in the world and like a sharp-written novel which is funny and thrilling.

The sign of the Angel
 
I'm reading sign of the angel I think it is very good. When I picked up the book I didn't think it was my kind of book but now I am very deep into the story. Alan Macdonald (the auther) I think is very good because he makes me feel like I am there with Will (the main character). Will and his mum live in the inn called "Angel" and get tangled in with the smugglers. The atmosphere in this book is always quite exciting but also quite dark. I would give this book a 10/10.

Indigo Blue
 
Indigo Blue was a great book. It's about a girl called Indigo who moves to an estate because her mum has broken up with Misti's dad (Misti is Indigo's baby sister). But Misti's dad doesn't let things go so easily...
