The Four-Legged Sheriff by Keith

I think it was very well written and it made me chuckle every now and then. I think it is age groups 5-8.

Eco-Wolf and The Three Pigs by Laurence Anholt

Eco-Wolf knows it's important to give Mother Nature RESPECT. Unlike the three big bad pigs, and their pesky polluting plans...

I thought it was very descriptive and it was full of good adjectives.I would read it again.

Wolf Brother by Michele Paver

Wolf Brother is set 6,000 years ago in north-west Europe.

            The main characters are:Torak,12 years old, who is an orphan of the Wolf clan, though strangely, he has never met anyone from his clan, or any other clan before; Ren,12,she is an apprentice mage of the Raven clan, and becomes a friend of Torak; and Wolf, a wolf cub. Torak can talk to him as his father put him in a wolf litter to keep him safe.    

           When Torak's father is murdered by a posessed bear, Torak runs into the forest and finds wolf. Shortly afterwards he is captured by the Raven clan, (there is a prophecy that he must give his heart's blood to the world spirit,their god). He escapes but then Ren finds him and tells him that another version of the prophecy is that he must go to the mountain of the World Spirit with the three pieces of the nanroc (a magical substance). But with only a frustratingly vague riddle to tell them where to get the nanroc, how will they ever find the three pieces?

Review by James Yr 6.

Asterix and Cleopatra by Rene Goscinny

This particular storytakes place in Egypt where Cleopatra wants to prove to Julius Ceasar that Egypt is still great and so asks an Egyptian architect to build a palace in three months. The Egyptian architect asks Obelix, Asterix and Getafix, the druid, to help him.

They do very well but then the Egyptian architect and Julius start to play unfairly and Asterix and Obelix, together with Getafix get trapped in the pyramid, nearly fed to the crocodiles, and all their hard work ruined.

Does it all work out for them in the end?

Read it and find out.
