Royal Rumble -Character Building!!!

John is the main character of The Witness by James Jauncey

One minute John is an ordinary teenager living in the highlands and the next thing he knows he’s seen a terrible slaughter and found the son (who has fragile x) of the leader of the resistance who’s fighting for the freedom of the country because the government are taking over all the land and the most land you’re allowed to own is one acre. If you read this book I swear that you will enjoy it as much as I have (Trust me because I enjoyed it a lot!!!!!!!!).


Salim and Adam are the main characters of Crusade written by Elizabeth Laird

Adam is an English crusader who joins the fight for freedom at the age of 14 when his mother dies.
Salim is a Arabian boy who lives in Acre until he finds out that the crusader army are coming towards him and his father forces him to go with a Jewish doctor who sets out with him but is picked up as a doctor for the Saracen army.
Later Adam finds out that his lord is actually his father and he inherits a forest and a manor called Brockwood. This is also another great book because it was a great learning experience of what people would be like back then.


Jimmy Hicks is the main character of Bunker 10 by J A Henderson

Jimmy is a genius who has the IQ off the scale and he lives in a military base in Pennygrove with other geniuses who are all under the age of 16. But when a science experiment goes wrong and one of them disappears, a war starts around them, they are plunged into fighting, battling their wits against the genius who went missing and was affected by the experiment. If you read any of these books and don’t enjoy them I’ll give you a £100 (Joke, I don’t have that much money).

A favourite from a Royal Rumbler

One favourite moment from Hox that you will totally enjoy
You will totally enjoy Hox, like the build up and especially the atmosphere in the middle of the book. And you’ll also be moved by the happy and the sad ending.
Okay the start of the book seemed to be a bit slow but once you got in to it you wanted to read on, especially when Robbie escapes with the cats!!!

By Matthew.

Hox by DA Nelson– 3 reasons why you’ll love this book!
1. Hox is a really good book because it has a lot of action in it and at some points in the book it makes you want to cry.
2. It is different from lots of other books in lots of different ways, the weirdest but one of my favourite parts of the book was when Robbie thought he was seeing through cat’s eyes.
3. If you don’t let the start put you off it is a very good book - Don’t forget the book needs to start somewhere!

Robe of Skulls

Review by The Royal Rumblers (a.k.a George and Rebekka)

Rebekka: The Robe of Skulls was a bit different from what I usually read. But I really enjoyed it because it was slightly weird.

George: Yep, I know what you mean! It was really easy to read though, not at all complicated. I couldn’t put it down!

Rebekka: I really loved the illustrations – they were cool, and very well detailed. My little brother liked them too!

George: My favourite character was probably…Gubble – Lady Lamorna’s Servant. What was your favourite Rebekka?

Rebekka: My favourite was Marlon the bat because he seemed really cheery and funny all the time.

George: A bit like me then!

Rebekka: Yeah, I suppose! My favourite part was when they were all hiding in the basement of Gracie’s old house.
What about you?

George: I really liked reading about the Old Crones and their house.

Rebekka and George: We love this book because it’s funny and original! Bye! J
