Ways to live forever is a very realistic book on a boy with a horrible disessease, what really got to me was the fact that in scrawled writing on the back of the book it says " by the time you have read this book I will be dead". It's quite comforting though because in the first few chapters he says " death is a gift from he whom sits on clouds so you can forever be with him". It is quite an atheist book although i would not not recommend it to Christians. This is a truly great book as it opens your eyes to the life outside your own and that not everybody's perfect.
99.9% out of 99.9%
P.S. I am really looking forward to reading the sequel "season of secretes"

Mia's musings: Accelerated Reading
Well, I completely condradict Frankie when it comes to Accelerated reader.
I think it is absouletly rubbish.
It wouldn't let me have fun with books and was constantly moaning that I wasn't reading enough. I was, just not that much on the books registered in that drivel. I completely DO NOT reccomend it. ( Angry Face) Meh. It gives you a score out of ten from questions on the book, which are normally completely irrelevant to the plot of the story. And they are easier than easy. I mean, one book I read was 'My mum's from Planet Pluto!'. The question was: What Planet does Michael ( I think) refer to as his mum coming from?
Answer: Pluto.
What a suprise! ( sarcastic voice )
It got in the way of my school life and teachers were constantly nagging about it. Also, there was only one computer you could do it on, and twenty children trying to get on it. Not exactly fun. Children running around the classrooms like headless chickens wondering why there not on it yet. Oh. Only because there is another 23 kids lining up next to it.
Grrrrrr.

P.S I am debating whether to get a raffle ticket for the Guiness Book of records 2013. They are twenty pence from my school. Post with what you think

Frankie's foughts on Accelerated Reader
At my school we have a system called Accelerated Reader. On it you have to do tests on books you have read. Recently I did a test on The Wreck of the Zanzibar by Michael Morpurgo and got 10/10.
After each test it gives you a report and tells you how many points you got over all the school year, how many words you have read overall, quizzes taken and quizzes passed.
I think it is a very good system because it makes sure you have read the book and understood it.

Frankies Foughts: Kung Fu Panda the novel
Rating out of 10: 8
Kung Fu Panda: The novel
This week I read Kung Fu Panda: The novel. It is full of highly fascinating things as Po becomes the dragon warrior. He faces tough challenges, from being a noodle chef to becoming the protector of his valley. Po is faced with the dangerous warrior Tai Lung and most defeat him in an epic showdown.
I would highly recommend this book, but for ages 6-10 as I guess it's quite childish.
