Tamar by Mel Peet

When I wrote this review I only had Turbulence left to read out of the five short listed books for the Carnegie Medal 2006. From reading the books, I thought that Tamar was going to be my favourite – (and it was!) It definitely was at the time, so unless Turbulence had something hidden within its pages, then I’d say Tamar had a pretty good chance of winning. (And it did too!)

I once saw a mop of yellow hair walking across Hampstead Heath with a family in toe. No need to see the face to know what was underneath the mop.

Paralysed - Sherry Ashworth

This story leads the reader through a rollercoaster of emotions: from sadness to happiness, fear to relief – the list is endless. It makes the reader feel so close to the characters in the story that you find yourself holding back tears in places, and grinning in others.

The Looking Glass Wars - Frank Beddor

Here is a book review by me! I particularly recommend this book to fantasy lovers!!

REVIEW:

Many people say: “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” However, to be entirely truthful, a reader’s first impression is normally gained from the cover! By looking at the cover of The Looking Glass Wars, it would not be a book that I would choose to pick up and read. Fantasy, other worlds: not my sort of thing. That would be my first mistake. The enthralling story of The Looking Glass Wars is written and told in such preciseness that the book is spot on!

First published in 1994 tells of a 'not quite a children's story' of Patrick T. Pixie, Phyllis the Fairy and Ernie the Elf and their enemy Winnie the wicked witch of Worksop. And their antics at Fairy school and other problems that magical tiny people have to put up with. There is mild swearing and slightly 'grown up' references.
