Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy The story is about a young girl named Stephanie who meets a strange man named Skulduggery. Stephanie is a normal girl around 12 years old and Skulduggery is s 100+ year old magic skeleton. Together they try to save the world from impending doom. And the world is not what it might seem to be at first because there is magic and lots of old folklore and old fairy tales are true in the universe of the book. The book takes place in England and Ireland in towns similar to London and is almost always inside of town except when they are at Stephanie's estate. The author is very good at describing the environment around them. The book is in a time somewhere between the years 2000 to 2010 because they reference lots of semi modern stuff. It is a fantasy adventure book. The best part of the book is the last third of the book and worst is the first third. This book is not about sending a message but more about entertaining the reader and making up new ver

Book review of the book ”Red” by Libby Gleeson The first thing that happens in this book is that a girl wakes up in a mud puddle and is almost drowning, but suddenly a boy saves her. When she got saved she didn’t remember a thing of her past. But the only thing she remember is two words and that was Jay Martin and she didn’t know why she was saying it. Both the girl and the boy didn’t know what has happened to the city, they thought that it may have been some kind of natural disaster. The story takes place in Sydney, Australia in present time. The book is a mystery book because of all the unknown information and everything is just so hokey. The most important chapter of this book is when Red and Peri (the two main characters) find Reds best old friend. Red remembered more and more after her friend told her what has happened and things about her. She got some flashbacks now and then about her past. Red had lost her whole family but when she got to her old friends house she used a lapt

Gangsta granny by David Walliams This book is about a boy and his granny. The granny is a jewel thief and the boy Ben doesn't know and he thinks she is boring, because she is old and she always does boring stuff. Little does Ben know that granny is planning on her biggest heist.  The book is a comedy and I think it was a good book because it wasn't that hard to understand or read. Ben is the boy and one of the main characters, he is young, he has orange hair and he is short. Granny is the also one main character. She is old, has white hair, false teeth and tucks tissues up her sleeve. The story takes place in London, in the city it is taking place in and some other places like in a hospital. I don't think this book is about sending out a message it's more about being some sort of entertainment.  Overall I think the book was really good. It had its issues and good parts like in the beginning the book was a little bit slow. When you have read some pages you
