the Undys


The Undys is a book about Josh Undy and his dad, Phil. The relationship between them is very different from a normal relationship between a kid and his dad. Josh and his dad are always playing silly games, such as 'gut barging' and 'twelve-storey soccer'.

Josh and Phil take Aunty Faber into the city for her birthday. They get involved in a 'rat race' up the stairs of the Ivory Tower.

its a comedy book i I enjoy it because in each chapter josh and phil are playing against each other and also there is game at the end of each chapter.

Fighting Ruben Wolfe


I've never been a boxing fan, but after reading this, I understand a little more clearly what it means to have 'heart'. Not just when fighting, but when being a family, a boy, and a brother.

James and the Giant Peach


Giant talking insects, A mega-sized peach (that had been carried by 100's of seaguls which were tied with spider and silkworm string) and Cloudmen- Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach has it all. The main storyline chases a character called James, who's parents have been eaten by a rhinoceros. James lives with his two very cruel old aunts, Spiker and Sponge, and is treated very badly. But what James longs for the most are some friends. One day everything changes...

James and the Giant Peach is unpredictable and silly (in a good way). I really enjoyed it, and I was so involved into the book (or rather it was a bit short) that I did not even write a post when I was mid-way into it. Just like most of Roald Dahl's books, it is about a child. This book (or rather all of Roald Dahl's books) is very different from the usual novels. For example, have you ever read a book where a giant fruit gets stuck on the top of the empire state building?

In conclusion, this book is aimed for young readers, but that does not mean other age groups have to miss out on the fun too! I really found it an excellent novel- one that reaches the expectation I have for Roald Dahl.

A new kind of dreaming (finished)


I have just recently finished "A New Kind Of Dreaming", and it seems it was not too bad after all. After Jamie goes to Port Barren he finds a mysterious boat and befriends a boy of his age called Cameron. I am not going to talk about the storyline too much, because you will have to read it. The story involves a overweight cop who will do anything to hide his past and protect his career, a trip through the desert and some bones of a refugee from the boat. Still don't know where it's leading to? Then read it!

In my last post, I mentioned that it was very boring at the start, so those of you who find it dragging on, you will soon get absorbed by the storyline later on like I did. If you are looking for something humourous and witty, you won't find it here. What you will find though is an original story and a mystery to solve while reading it.
