Genre: Fiction

My mum bought me “Dead Puzzling” by Sue Birch. I love reading and really enjoy the Charlie Bone series and The Famous Five. I loved this book because it was a really thrilling story with lots of cliff hangers. I was trying to solve the mystery all the way through but I was ‘dead puzzled’! When I reached the end of the book and discovered the truth it all fell into place.

My favourite character was Oliver. I read this book in one go – for about the first few pages I didn’t quite get it but then WOW I couldn’t put it down and just had to get to the end (even though I should have been asleep!).

One interesting thing about the book, is how much Cammy hated her cousin. I have never experienced that. I think it was not nice.

I like this book, because of how much Cammy loved her grandmother.

She Wanted to Read: The Story of Mary McLeod Bethune

Pocket Books, June 1977
ISBN: 0671298615
Genre: Biography

When Mary was little, white girls told her to put the book down that it was only for people that could read.

I like the story because Mary was a leader. I like that Mary helped others to learn.
