The Royal Academy of Sport for Girls
​by Laura Sieveking

​ Reviewed by Alyssa R WPS
There is a girl named Chloe Humphries, and she is a horse rider. She lives on a farm with her Mum and Dad. She applies for the Royal Academy of Sport and gets in. Chloe's parents couldn't afford her fees at the school because they're spending all of their money on the cows’ food during the drought. After about 2 days after getting her first letter, she got a letter in the mail say that she got a scholarship to the Royal Academy. She was super happy.
She arrived at the academy and she was quite upset about leaving her family and the farm. The thing that cheered her up was that she knew that her horse Honey was arriving the next day.
After a week of being at the academy, she was training for the upcoming show. She failed the first 1.2 metre jump.
On the show day, she WON the jumping competition with a time of 41.5 seconds. She was so happy!
I cannot wait to see what happens next.
I rate this book 10/10 and this book is for all grades.

Wings of Fire Book 2: The Lost Heir
​by Tui T. Sutherland

Reviewed by Eliza CLPS
Tsunami is an independent dragonet of destiny, the lost Seawing heir and an even better fighter than Clay. She can’t wait to splash and swim with her mother.

The Happiest Refugee by Anh Do

​Reviewed by Ethan M. CLPS
I know that this book is perfect for everyone. It follows 'Show don't Tell' but with no pictures which actually makes it even better.
This is my third favourite book of all time.

I rate this book 10/10.

The 52-Storey Treehouse by Andy Griffith

Reviewed by Cooper CLPS

Diary of a Wombat by Jackie French

Reviewed by Charlotte C. CLPS
There was once a lazy, slow wombat who had a daily routine. The wombat ate grass everyday then he got over grass and loved carrots. He had wonderful adventures and there were funny parts like when he found a ladder and used it as a scratching post. He built a hole under his owners house. I liked the daily routine.
I give this book 5/10.
I recommend this book for wombat lovers.

I rate this book 10/10.

The Boy in The Dress by David Walliams

Reviewed by Archie C. CLPS
​One of the first books by David Walliams is called The Boy in The Dress. It’s about a boy named Denis and how he changed his town’s beliefs, perspectives and traditions. There were girls who do work at home, and boys who go to work, and hundreds more. But the one they believed in most was that girls are the only humans to wear a dress but he is out to change that rule. I think 10 years + should read this and I give it 10 out of 10.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
​by J.K Rowling 

Reviewed by Kaelan P. CLPS
I liked this book because there are unexpected twists and it is full of suspense. Professor Quirrell teaches Defence Against the Dark Arts, but he has a secret... Professor Snape suspects that he is trying to steal the Philosopher's Stone! I'm not telling you any more, read the book to find out more.
