Night Runner: Book review:

For some of my work I had to read a book from an author called Tim Bowler. So I went to my library which is just down the road from me and they only had one book by him so I had to choose that one. I am so happy that I got to read this book I loved it so much. It's an action packed teen-adult book about a 15 year old called Zinny. The basic storyline is a boy called Zinny lives in a dodgy part of town near a railway bridge and is bunking of school so he won't get bullied. Then he hears someone ringing the doorbell and he sees someone looking at the house.  He waits for them to go and then he hears someone picking the lock of  the backdoor. As you might be able to tell things go downhill from their. His mum ends up in hospital and his dad goes missing. And he knows someone will die and it might be him (I have quoted the blurb a bit in this description just so you know).
   I'll try not to talk about it too much because this book has such an amazing storyline and I don't want to ruin it however I would recommend any of Tim Bowler's books as they are action filled and a real page turner. I have only read two of his books so I can't fully judge him as an author but so far  he has not disappointed me. If you don't like books that make you sit at the edge of your seat or a bit of blood then this might not be for you. However, if you don't like these sort of books I would still  give these books a go because you never know these books might change your mind.

Now for everyone's favourite of the post author facts. Tim Bowler has written around twenty books for teenagers. Also, he has won fifteen awards, which include the prestigious Carnegie Medal. His books have been translated into over thirty languages and have sold over a million copies worldwide.

That's all or this post I hope you enjoyed it and please do pick up one of his books they are really good. If you have any books you want me to read and review but them in the comments and I'll read them as soon as possible.

Series of Unfortunate Events: The Carnivorous Carnival and The Slippery Slope book review:

Firstly before I start I hope you all had a happy Easter and eat all the things you gave up for Lent. Now back to books.

The Carnivorous Carnival:

This book was really different from the rest of them because the Baudelaires didn't have
anyone to look after them. Also, just to make things worse they are on the run from the law even though they haven't done anything wrong. As you can tell, these books are getting more and more action filled and I can't stop reading them. At the start of this book, the Baudelaires are in the boot of Count Olaf's car but Olaf doesn't know they are there. I won't tell you what happened afterwards so you can find out for yourself. I would really recommend reading these books because I've even seen adults read these books not just teenagers.
   In the book the Baudelaires have to be in disguise so Count Olaf doesn't know who they are and Olaf isn't in disguise so the tables have been turned a bit.

The Slippery Slope:

At the start of this book the Baudelaires find themselves in a caravan that is hooked to Count Olaf's car with Sunny in Esme's lap. Then Count Olaf reveals something and they have to try and stop the caravan from falling off the side of a mountain and find their sister.
   As the Baudelaires are looking for their sister Sunny has to do all the cooking and cleaning for all the troop. Also, as you know Violet Baudelaire has inventing skills, Klaus has researching skill and Sunny discovers that she has cooking skills when she makes salmon with a signalling device.

I'm sorry to say I couldn't find any more author facts so that's it for facts about this author but if you find anymore please put them in the comments. Also, if you have any books you want me to read put them in the comments too and I'll see you next time.

Destination Earth book review:

I don't usually like these sorts of books and I was shocked to find out that I liked this one. This book is about an alien called Lucy that comes to Earth to get away from a deadly virus on her home planet. Most books about aliens talk about how they are bad and are always taking over he world and failing however this one isn't. This is really different from other alien books because the alien is just trying to fit in and not to be noticed. I chose this book because it is one of the world book day books so I thought I would give it a go.
   The main character (Lucy) makes me laugh so much because at one point in the book she has a little fan girl moment when she meets her favourite guitar player from her favourite band. She acts like any human would and freaks out (never in my life did I think that I would type that sentence). Also, she acts so weird that it makes you laugh. Especially when she first arrives on Earth.
   The story without ruining anything is that Lucy is on a ship sent from her home planet to get her away from a deadly virus that killed all life on her planet. She is the only know survivor of this disease and tries to make Earth her new home.

   I would fully recommend this book and I loved it so much. If you're not into science fiction books I don't think you will like it however if you like things like Doctor Who and Men in Black this book is definitely for you. And now for everyone's favourite part of the post...
