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.

Just Disgusting! By Andy Griffith

Reviewed by Declan Jacobs CLPS 
Just Disgusting is probably the most humorous book I have ever read, it is filled with jokes and excitement. If anyone told me to pick a favourite chapter or page, that would be impossible! If I were to rate this book I would choose 10/10.

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. This book is great because instead of Clays thoughts, you get to hear Tsunami’s and her life in the kingdom! I give this book a 10 out of 10! Now I’ve got to go and find the next book in the series!

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.
If you can, then you should read it!
I rate this book 10/10.

The 52-Storey Treehouse by Andy Griffith

Reviewed by Cooper CLPS
Andy and Terry have added 13 more stories to their 39 story treehouse so that it is a 52 story treehouse. I will only tell you about one level, a surfing level! My favourite part is when they go and try to rescue their publisher...  Find out who kidnapped Andy and Terry’s publisher, and will they escape?

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.

Billie B Brown

Reviewed by Mikaela CLPS
Billie has been bullied by a mean boy called Jason the Bully. He kicked her ball down out of her hands. Jason put the soccer ball in the tree and knocked her teapot out of her hands. Jason and Billie became friends. I recommend everyone to read it.
I rate this book 10/10.
