Filling an empty hole on this blog: Holes by Louis Sachar

Hellooooooooooooooooooooo! I am so sorry I haven't been blog posting, I've got a really big test coming up and I've been studying quite a bit. Also, when I have had some spare time and opened up my laptop I haven't felt like blogging...  But enough of my blabbering on that  I'm now going to give you a post with a book review of the great Holes, by Louis Sachar.

Louis Sachar has written multiple books, one of which I have loved and will be reviewing today:

Holes:

Holes is about Stanley whose family have a reputation for bad luck, and when he is sent to Camp Green Lake - which, funnily enough, isn't green and doesn't have a lake - it was simply a matter of being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Every day he and the other boys are told to dig a hole, five foot wide and five foot deep, reporting anything found. The warden claims that this labour is character building, but Stanley is suspicious and needs to dig up the truth.

I really like this book because of the flashbacks and clever links throughout the story. Also Holes is really gripping, thrilling and when you finally put it all together it's a bit like completing a jigsaw puzzle.

I would recommend this book this book to 8-12 years old who like cleverly written books that are satire. WARNING: You have to persevere with this book until the end otherwise it won't make any sense at all whatsoever and you will go away thinking it's a rubbish book, which it isn't.

I am in the process of reading another of Louis Sachar's brilliant books called the Cardturner, and already it is an amazing book.

My brother is a superhero by David Solomons

Hello! As you may know, Waterstones Children's book prize is coming up soon and my sister got a bundle of the books. The first one I read was My brother is a superhero by David Solomons published by Nosy Crow. So here's a review of it.

Luke, an eleven-year-old who loves comics, has a treehouse which he shares with his nerdy older brother Zack. But, Luke makes the big mistake of going to the toilet right at the time his older brother, who had never read a comic in his life got given superpowers. Luke is outraged. Zack is told he has to save two worlds and there's no time for moping as someone has to make sure Zack's going to do it right. But, one day, disaster strikes and Zack gets kidnapped by his arch-enemy Nemesis. Luke and his friends have to save him before it's too late.

My favourite part was when Zack got kidnapped and Luke and his friends had to go and save him. It was filled with immense drama and tension. I just had to know if they were going to succeed, so I might have ended up reading way past my bedtime - fingers crossed my mum doesn't read this post.

I would rate this book 4/5 stars and I would recommend it to boys or girls aged 8-10 who love comics or adventure stories.

Here are a few quotes on the book:

Steve Coogan says: “You’ll laugh until you fall out of your tree house!”

Kirsty Stansfield, Fiction Editor at Nosy Crow says says: "The idea behind this book is genius. It’s funny and clever, and the way Luke steps up to help his older brother despite the MASSIVE UNFAIRNESS of it all is a joy to read. My Brother is a Superhero is a great book destined for greatness.”
