I always enjoy Michael Morpurgo's books. That's why I recommend private peaceful. The story is about a boy who's father died. He makes friends with a girl called Molly. His older brother Charlie also come friends with her. She has dinner with them every night. The news breaks out that Charlie's a thief so Molly can't see the anymore. Then Tommo delivers letters from Molly and Charlie. Then her parents throw her out (if you read the book you'll know why). Soon the people are asking for men to fight in the war. Charlie and Tommo go. There many bad and good things happen. Read the book to find out what happens in the middle of those events and all about what happens during the war. Enjoy reading!

Christmas seems to be over but it's still there in the air we just don't feel it. I say that because you can read The Christmas Mystery by Jostein Gaarder anytime in the year you like. You could even read a new chapter every day of advent. You might be wondering what the book is about by now. Well it's about a boy called Joachim who finds a homemade advent calendar in a shop one day. The first day he opens it out of the window comes out a piece of paper with the beginning of a story about a girl who travels to Bethlehem. Then he meets the man who made it and discovered a that forty years ago on Christmas Eve a girl went missing.
