The Thornthwaite Inheritance:

I remember reading some of this book in year 5 and I really loved it. I know that was years ago however I still wanted to finish the book because so far I have never left a book unfinished. So I got it for Christmas and I just finished it. It's a really good book about twins whose parents have died and their servants look after them in Thornthwaite Manor. Since they can remember they have been trying to kill each other so the other could get all the inheritance. Then they make a truce however the death attempts keep happening.
   It doesn't really sound like year 5 me should have been reading this however it's surprisingly not that bad. Even if it is aimed at younger kids I really loved and it doesn't really matter your age for this book. For the actual length of the book I finished it quite quickly. It only took me two days to finish so if you want a book for a weekend away this is the one. I think my favourite character iso Ovid Thornthwaite. He made me laugh at some parts of the book when everyone else is all serious he's just there like nothing happened.
   And time for everyone's favourite part of the post. Author facts: I couldn't really find much about the author of this book so this is all I got. Gareth P. Jones is a British children's writer and his book The Considine Curse won the Blue Peter Book of the Year 2012.
   You can get this book here and if you want to get the Considine Curse you can get it here.

Thanks for reading and I'll see you next time.
