The Sandfather by Linda Newbery
I didn't particuarly enjoy this novel, it wasn't for me. But it was action packed.
Plot
Hal gets suspened from school. He has never known his father, so when he stays with his Aunt in his Mum's seaside town that she grew up in mystery and tragedy shake hands.
This book is a good book for people 10/11+.
There isn't much else to say, but I did give it up for a few weeks before rejoinging it and finshing the book.
Linda Newbry has also written many other books, so if you enjoyed this then why not try Catcall, Nevermore or Blitz Boys.

The Diary Of A Wimpy Kid Series
This large series of histarical diaries by Jeff Kinney. IS a good read for children 7+. Howvere the books aren't just for kids, teens read and love them too.
They are a really good choice of book, are simple to follow and aren't unbearably long.

Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck
This intreging, action full, historical classic is a must read. It is something a bit more challenging because it was written a long time ago, so the language used is slightly different. However, don't be put of - it might be a bit challenging, but its not impossible.
Of Mice and men is a bit sad, so children younger than 11 shouldn't read it because of this and the fact it's challenging.
The Plot
Of Mice and Men follows the story of two ranch men in the 1930s, during the great depression in America. George and Lenny have always dreamed of their own place, so when their job takes them to some men who might have what they've always wanted, how will things turn out?
I would definately reccomend this book as it is a must read.
I would, however, not reccomend buying it on Kindle unless you want all the introductions/note taking help. So if you are just reading it for pleasure and not for exams I would buy it in a shop. Also on Kindle it is generally expensive.
Of Mice and Men has also been made into a film, so after you've read the book, why not watch the movie?

Wonder
This touching novel will change the way you look at people for ever.
Plot
August is a normal kid. Apart from one thing: his face. Born with facial differences August has never gone to school, but then his parents decided to send him to school.
This book is all about how August gets through school.
Narrated by different characters in different parts, you get diffferent views and parts of the story.
I would without a doubt reccommend this to both adults, children, boys and girls about 11+.
BE AWARE: this book is quite sad and may not be sutible for children under 11.

Small Steps, Louis Sachar
This brillant "sequel" to Louis Sachar's 'Holes' is a must read if you have read and loved Holes. It is action packed, but has a bit more realism than the horific escapeds at Camp Green Lake.
Plot
As we all know camp Green Lake has been shut down, so what happens to the boys? Small Steps is all about Theodore (Armpit), finiding his way through life after Green Lake.
HE knows he must take Small Steps, but when X-Ray shows up with an offer Amrpit can't refuse, will it actually change his life for the better?
Before you read this book ensure you have read Holes, other wise it will make no sense.
The book is as good as Holes, so if you have enjoyed that then make sure you read Small Steps.
Small Steps is stocked in a lot of book stores, as it is so good and well read.
