Fancy Nancy by Jane O'Connor

Reviewed by Abby A. MRPS

Fancy Nancy is about a girl named Nancy. She loves being fancy and doing stuff like writing with a pen that has a plume(feather) on the end, learning French, accessorising and so much more. Nancy’s family consist of her, her little sister, mum and dad but they don’t know how to be fancy.
They don’t understand stuff like how a princess is supposed to keep her tiara on and that sandwiches do taste better with frilly toothpicks in them. So Nancy teaches her family how to be fancy like her.
They soon go out for dinner and after the main course Nancy goes to get dessert, and she trips and falls ice cream goes everywhere.
They go back home and Nancy learns that you don’t have to be fancy all the time and some of the most meaningful things aren’t fancy.
I recommend this book to ages 3-8 because it’s a shorter read.
I liked the pictures in the book, they would definitely engage younger readers as there is lots of detail in them.
​I give it a 7/10 it’s a really good book, just a little short.

Maggie and her friend Arthur were going on vacation with Maggie’s parents. Maggie and Arthur thought they were going on a beach holiday.

Possum Magic by Mem Fox

Reviewed by Matilda P. WPS

In the Australian bush lived two possums named Hush and Grandma Poss. Grandma Poss can make magic. The best magic of all was to make Hush invisible.
The adventures that Hush had! Hush could slide down kangaroos, be safe from snakes, and be squashed by koalas. But Hush wanted to know what she looked like.
To make Hush be seen Hush had to eat lots of Australian food like a vegemite sandwich, a piece of pavlova, and a lamington. They had to travel around Australia to find all this food.
Some of the strengths in this book were the illustrations and the water colour in the picture they explained the emotion and the magic that Grandma Poss made. Some of the other books that Mem Fox wrote were The Magic Hat, Koala Lou, The Tram to Bondi Beach and Davy and the Duckling.
I recommend this book for children 8-13 years old because some of the words like unexpectedly and adventures could be harder for younger children.

Worst Hero Ever! #1: Feet first by Matt Cosgrove and Eva Amores

Reviewed by Jaxon B. WPS

The main character is Licky Ricky who didn’t get to choose his superpower. My favourite part about this book is that Licky Ricky’s feet get turned into tongues so every step he took he could taste it, even through his shoes!
It made me think about what superpower I would like and to not muck up ever again, unless I am cooking with mum! So I will never ever at school not listen, not do my work I will always do what I am supposed to do.
I recommend this book for 6+ because it has 9 chapters and the text is about 7 millimetres large and there’s 150 pages.
​I rate it 10/10 because at the start Licky Ricky ask's us if we had a superpower what would it be. I think it is cheeky. Matt Aosgrove and Eva Amores had also written Worst week Ever and Worst Pets Ever.

Witch Hat Altlier, Vol 1 by Kamone Shirahama

Reviewed by Tabitha H. BPS

Witch Hat Atelier is a manga fantasy series about a girl called Coco. Coco has light green hair and fades away with a dark green, she has golden eyes that glimmer, and glow, bright.
Coco bought a strange book from a festival, it had an interesting printing on the cover.
Coco is a witch but she doesn’t know how to control her spells or her power, and a guy who is called Qifrey.
Qifrey came to Coco’s home in a strange carriage with Pegasus using their big fluffy wings to fly where Coco and her mum were working. He came wanting fabric but Coco’s mum was busy so Coco used her talent and got working!
After, they heard a loud bang from the yard and Coco, her mum, and Qifrey came running to the yard wondering what was happening. Two little boys were playing dangerously and were hitting the carriage and it banged on the floor making the loud sound.
Qifrey had his powers and told Coco to go to the other room so she didn’t watch. But Coco was to intrigued and took a sneak peak from the roof. Bad decision…
Later at night Qifrey was staying for the night and she grabbed the strange book and copied what she saw in the book but…I’m going to leave it at that sorry for the cliff-hanger but I don’t want to spoil it!
I like that how detailed the book is!
I recommend this book for year 3's and up because I think anime is for older people and because it’s got pretty difficult words.
​I rate this book a 10/10. Its one of my favourite books and I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!

Rise of the Mythix #1: Golden Unicorn by Anh Do

Reviewed by Annelise M. BPS

This book is about Kelly, an ordinary teenager who discovers that she is apart of an ancient prophecy meant to destroy the soul collector otherwise known as William James.
The soul collector is a rich man who uses a magical artifact called Lucifers Ring to turn reality into paintings.
After Kelly’s mum is captured by the soul collector’s soldiers, the Kingdom Guard, or more commonly known as the Hornets or KG, she is determined to free the North Kingdom from his reign of terror.
Kelly becomes known as the golden unicorn, identified by the horn on her head.
With the help of Stanley, a former archaeologist for the soul collector, she barely escapes William's grasp.
My favourite thing about Kelly is that she is super fast. My favourite part in the book is when Kelly escapes the KG in the supermarket because it is suspenseful.
I recommend this book to children aged 7+ who like adventure stories because it is exciting, but could be scary for some kids.
​ I rate this book 9/10 because it’s awesome, but the soul collector is kind of creepy.

Amulet #1: The Stonekeeper by Kazu Kibuishi

Two years later, they moved into a haunted house. Their mum said it’s nice there. They had to clean the haunted house, but at noon, Emily found a magic neck lace. Emily wondered what it was. Navin came and asked where did she get that necklace from. Emily replied that she just found it there.
Late one night their mum heard a noise. There was a quiet whisper that sounded like a growl. It sounded like it was coming from the basement.
My favourite part was when Emily and Navin went into a secret house that had arms and legs, then it began to move.

The book The Invisible String is a heartwarming story about Liza and Jeremy. They are twins. One night a storm wakes them terrified they run to their Mum. Liza and Jeremy don’t want to go back to bed because they won’t be with their mum. That's when Liza and Jeremy’s mum tells them about the invisible string that connects family, friends, neighbours, pets anyone you know and love.
The invisible string can connect anywhere like in space, in the jungle, under the sea anywhere you can think of. It stays when you’re angry because love is stronger than anger.
Knowing this the two fall fast asleep in their beds dreaming about the invisible string and how everyone is connected.
I liked the illustrations and the great message of “no one is alone”, meaning there is always someone who loves you.
I recommend the book for ages 3-8 because it’s a great message and a really good book, but It’s a picture book so would fit the younger side of the spectrum.
​I give it a 8/10!

Crazy Weird! by Anh Do

Reviewed by Konah G. WPS

This book is about Weir getting braces but he’s afraid to get them because he thinks he will spit whenever he talks like Max Gribble. So he faced his fears and got his braces.
Weir felt fine when he first got his braces though, because his dad had ‘head braces’. When he got braces but his dad just played along with it so he didn’t get bullied. So that made Weir more confident.
At the fair Bella had to go home early because she had to go somewhere. The evaluation is it has a couple difficult words but other then that the words were easy to say and pronounce. My opinion is the book is really funny and silly.
I recommend the reading age to be 9+ because some words might be difficult to younger readers and their meaning.
Other Anh Do books are Wolf Girl, Hot Dog, Ninja girl, Kung Fu Roo and Pow Pow Pig.
I rate this book a 8/10.
