Wings of Fire Series by Tui T. Sutherland

 

Whole Series Review

In my opinion Wings of Fire is a great children's book series (ages 8-12). It's set on the continent of Phyra where 5 dragonets are chosen to fulfill a legendary prophecy and stop a war. 

Nazeka (Class 7L)


The dragonet prophecy [Bk. 1 in Wings of Fire series] by Tui Sutherland

Come join the dragonets of destiny on thrill-seeking adventures, finding new lands and completing deadly and murderous prophesies. With the three sisters, Blaze, Burn and Blister, fighting to be queen, what will they do and who will they choose as the new sandwing queen.

Matilda D (Class 6G)

 

This is both a fantasy and action book. five dragonets are stuck in a cave and they live there. They have to escape. Maybe they'll swim or cut through the cave. Will they survive? I love this book but more towards the end because the start of the book is more of setting the scene. 

Nate R (Class 7S)


The Lost Heir [Bk. 2 in Wings of Fire series] by Tui Sutherland

The five dragonets have finally escaped the sky wing queen's grasp and have gone to find their parents. Tsunami, one of the 5 dragonets believes she is the missing heir to the seawing throne. And when they go to the sea kingdom, all the dragonets' lives take a turn.

Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling

Whole Series Review

 

Do you like fantasy, magic, action and some dragons? Read Harry Potter. J.K. Rowling has outdone herself, not only one of the most known series, which became movies, but probably the best series of books in this century! Do you agree? Read to find out about another world.

Hunter C (Class 7C) 


Book 1: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone 

Harry Potter lives with his mean aunt and uncle and cousin. He lives a terrible life until he is asked to attend a witch and wizard school called Hogwarts. While he is there, he meets new friends and goes on lots of exciting adventures. Read the series to found out more! Harry doesn't know what adventures he's in for. 

Cooper L (Class 6H) 

 

Bored of books? Trying to find a good series to read? THIS IS THE ONE! This is the start to an EPIC series. The introduction to a worldwide best seller. READ this book. It is about a stone so powerful, it can bring people back to life! Voldemort tries to retrieve it to bring himself fully back to life. 

Ben P (Class 7S) 

 

This book is full of bittersweet twists and turns that left me satisfied. READ THIS BOOK!!! If you are into magic and mystery, this book is perfect for you. Harry is sent a letter telling him to go to Hogwarts where he will meet friends and maybe even save the school. 

Lincoln G (Class 7S) 


Book 2: Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets 

 

This is a great book. Rivalry between Students, teachers and mythical creatures. This book is amazing! It is about a secret chamber filled with dark magic and Voldermort's old diary. It is a THRILLER and I recommend this book for those who seek a book about mystery, magic and action.

 Ben P (Class 7S)

 

This book was a delight to read with twits and turns at every corner. I love the twist when they find out how to get to the chamber of secrets and Myrtle , who lives in the pipes and the toilets, is very funny. I also love the quidditch game, especially when Malfoy joined the opposing team.

 Elliot C (Class 8.5)


Book 7: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

This book is by FAR my favourite Harry Potter book. The final showdown between Harry and Voldemort. It is action packed and full of wonder. Harry may triumph but at what cost? Who will survive the final battle?

 Ben P (Class 7S)


Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (Parts 1 and 2)

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a play. I would recommend it as the best book from the Harry Potter series. It continues from where the Deathly Hallows left off. Harry's son hops off the Train, but where does he go? Read to find out. Could old enemies learn from their children how to become friends?

Powerless series by Lauren Roberts 

 

Powerless (Book 1)

This book is absolutely fantastic. It is a fantasy romance book about a girl who struggles with having no powers in a world of powerful people and about a boy who is the king's enforcer, crafted into a monster outside his will. But will they prevail? This book was a roller coaster and I anxiously await the second book's release. This books is suitable for grades 5 and over, mostly a really appropriate book for almost all ages. Some themes are a bit difficult for younger audiences to understand.
