Guts by Raina Telgemeier
 | Reviewed by Annika D. SAPS Here we are again with another adventure with Raina! This book is a comic-style easy read book. The pictures are hilarious and cheeky, you might even get to see a bottom! Every time someone says the word ¨spew¨, Raina needs to vomit. My favourite part of the book is where Raina needs to go to the toilet and there is a big line and a mum needs to get a toilet-training toddler to the toilet and he has an accident. I rate this book an 8.5 /10 because there was lots of teasing in the story and I don´t think teasing is nice. I recommend this book to people who like books with lots of funny pictures., especially readers aged 7 to 11. |
Danger Is Everywhere: A Handbook for Avoiding Danger (Danger is Everywhere! #1)
by David O'Doherty
  | Reviewed by George D. CLPS Danger Is Everywhere: A Handbook for Avoiding Danger is the first of three books and a hilarious series by David O’Doherty and Chris Judge. This book has a long title that’s for sure, but there’s something else for sure that Docter Noel Zone is - paranoid. (Also Docter is purposely spelt wrong because Noel only had to study for one year to become a Docter, but he had to spend 6 years to become a Doctor and he liked the title, so he took the easy way out). Docter Noel Zone is a dangerologest (which is a fancy way of saying he “studies” danger). He believes that every thing is dangerous. For example, he believes anyone who rides a Segway is a vampire, so if you see anyone riding a Segway at night I suggest you run to the nearest church. Docter Noel Zone also has a complicated relationship with his next door neighbour Gretel, who owns a cabbage store, (cabbage is Noel’s favourite food). He lives alone with the exception of his pet rock Dennis, and sleeps in a bathtub (because beds are dangerous and you can fall of at any time when you're asleep but bathtubs on the other hand have sides to prevent you from falling off.) Noel’s house is positioned right behind the zoo, specifically, the giraffe enclosure. Occasionally they drop and spit leaves all over his garden and give him mean stares. The book is full of many more things to be “fearful” of (in Docter Noel Zones mind) and many more things for you to discover and enjoy. Also, watch out for page nine of this hilarious graphic novel. My overall summary of this book is that it made me laugh, I was excited to turn the next page and the best thing is this is only book 1! I rate this book 9/10 but because of the pre-mentioned danger around page 9, for Noel’s sake, I’ll give it a 9.5 / 10. I recommend this book to any age. Even my grandmother enjoyed reading it! |

Stolen Girl by Trina Saffioti
 | Reviewed by Tehya F-C. MPS This book is about an aboriginal girl who got taken away by a white man. She got taken away from her family to a bad orphanage. Lots of Aboriginal kids were there. The girl had to wake up to a bell in the early morning, every day. She never got to see her family. They didn't even let her have her aboriginal name! She remembers stories from her mother, so she sings them to feel like her mum’s there. The girl gets yelled at for using aboriginal language at the orphanage. She says her old, aboriginal name to herself over, and over again at night, and again, she gets in trouble. She has to do labour for the orphanage. Some kids got adopted to do more labour, as a maid. This book is good to make people aware of the Stolen Generation, and what Sorry Day is for. It brings awareness to the Stolen Generation. I recommend this book to people aged 6+. I rate this book 8.5/10. |

My favourite part was when Alfie pulled Raj’s tooth out and it hit an old woman. When I read Demon Dentist it made me think I should be like Alfie and help out my parents more too. This book makes me think of the book Billionaire Boy because it is by the same author and has similar language. I enjoyed all the little details that they added.

Smile by Raina Telgemeier
 | Reviewed by Annika D. SAPS Smile is a comic strip-style novel. It is based on a true story written by Raina Telgemeier and illustrated by Stephanie Yue. In the story, Raina knocked one of her teeth out and pushed another into her gum after tripping over. Raina’s story follows her journey of countless dental work plus everyday events, including friendships and an earthquake! Will Raina smile again? I liked that this story was written in a comic strip with many colourful pictures. I rate this book 8/10 because sometimes there are too many pictures and not enough words. It is an easy read. I recommend this book to people aged 8-13 years old. |
How My Body Works: The Blood Platelets
by Albert Barille
 | Reviewed by Brax R. BGS How my body works is a series of educational books about your body. This one specifically is about your blood, blood platelets and how they help your body function. I love the way they teach us with the characters which makes learning fun. I have many favorite parts of the book, but my favorite is the different blood cells. But it's not just the book that’s great, it’s the whole series, although I did recognize that with the blood groups diagram, they forgot to write down the donor and the giver. Other than that, good book! I rate this book a 9/10. The book is great for 9-16 year-olds who want to research their blood. |
The Baby-Sitters Club: Kristy's Great Idea
by Raina Telgemeier
 | Reviewed by Audrey C. CLPS This book is about how a young girl called Kristy (whilst choking on pizza) comes up with an amazing idea for a babysitting club. To make friendships and help kids, but it ends up in lots of drama. Babysitting isn’t always easy - cranky toddlers to mysterious secrets. The Baby Sitters Club always know what to do (most of the time). I give this book a 10/10 star rating I recommend this book for kids over the age of 10 because young children might not understand the concept of it. |
