CURRENTLY READING
-
GOOD GIRL, BAD BLOOD
Author: Holly Jackson
Lilly’s Rating: ★★★★★
This is part of a murder mystery series, but focuses on a missing person. It kept me in suspense the whole time. -
CAMP HALF BLOOD CONFIDENTIAL
Author: Rick Riordan
Lilly’s Rating: ★★★
I’ve read all of the other books in the series, but this one focuses more on the details behind the scenes at Camp Half Blood. So there’s no real story. Not really. -
SKANDAR & THE SKELETON CURSE
Author: A.F Steadman
Lilly’s Rating: ★★★★★
This one was definitely a 5 stars. There were twists and turns, things you would never expect, unicorn races, action, and all whilst the main character is trying to figure out his feelings. -
THE DEATH CURE
Author: James Dashner
Lilly’s Rating: ★★★★
This story is full of action and surprises. It’s about the spread of an infection, so it contains death and suspense. -
THE INHERITANCE GAMES
Author: Jannifer Lynn Barnes
Lilly’s Rating: ★★★★
This is the first book in the legacy. It’s a mystery themed story, with an exciting plot about wealth and an accidental heiress. -
BUNNY VS MONKEY: RISE OF THE MANIACAL BADGER
Author: Jamie Smarts
Lilly’s Rating: ★★★★
If you like books like ‘Dogman’, you’ll like Bunny Vs Monkey. It is really funny and full of silly moment. The story setting is the same, but the moments are always funny. It’s a nice quick read. -
THE HAWTHORNE LEGACY
Author: Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Lilly’s Rating: ★★★★★
This book is full of mystery, a conflicted love life and the problems of a wealthy dysfunctional family. It was well written and exciting. -
VICIOUS VIKINGS
Author: Terry Deary
Lilly’s Rating: ★★★1/2
Because of the illustrations and the choice of language, it makes the information really interesting and easy to understand. It didn’t help me study for my exam though, it conflicted with my school study material. -
DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: HARD LUCK
Author: Jeff Kinney
Lilly’s Rating: ★★★1/2
This story if all about Greg and his luck. It was good, but it wasn’t as funny as the others in the series. -
SUMMER'S DREAM
Author: Cathy Cassidy
Lilly’s Rating: ★★★
This book is about the extreme lengths that the character is willing to go to in order to get a dance scholarship.Parental note: Contains material on Eating Disorders
-
SKANDAR AND THE CHAOS TRIALS
Author: A.F Steadman
Lilly’s Rating: ★★★★1/2
This is number 3 of the series. I finished this really quickly. It was good and was full of mystery. -
CAMP JUPITER CONFIDENTIAL
Author: Rich Riordan
Lilly’s Rating: ★★★
This is a supplementary book within the series. I liked the story line and the plot, but it didn’t capture my attention like the other books from the series. -
POTKIN AND STUBBS
Author: Sophie Green
Lilly’s Rating: ★★★★★
Another great murder mystery. This was a great book. The twists throughout the book were huge. -
THE BOOK OF LEGENDS
Author: Lenny Henry
Lilly’s Rating: ★★★★
One of the main characters was deaf and since I am partially deaf I found this relatable. It shows children and their love of books like me. It’s a good book. -
MIDDLE SCHOOL FORM HERO TO ZERO
Author: James Patterson
Lilly’s Rating: ★★★★
I found this book quite inspiring because I wanted to do some of the things in the material. -
A GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO MURDER
Author: Holly Jackson
Lilly’s Rating: ★★★★
This is the first book in this murder mystery series. it was really good and full of suspense. I would recommend this to older readers 14+ because it’s quite grown up, there are swear words and it touches on mature content. -
BUNNY VS MONKEY
Author: Jamie Smarts
Lilly’s Rating: ★★★★
This book is really funny. It was full of laughs and silly moments. The characters were hysterical. -
DEMIGODS AND MAGICIANS
Author: Rick Riordan
Lilly’s Rating: ★★
I’m sorry Rick, but you have to up your game. I gave this 2 stars because all of the other PJ stories were just so gripping, I couldn’t put them down. However this one was just a little boring. -
THE SCORCH TRIAL
Author: James Dashner
Lilly’s Rating: ★★★★★
This story was really good. If you like morbid and exciting stories - this is for you.
