Bumped by Megan McCafferty #100books

30th July 2011 by Jax Blunt Leave a Comment

This book was sent to review as part of a bundle of holiday reading for teens/ pre-teens. Big started it, but found it a bit above her head - she is only 11 though. So I read it instead, and found it to be a perfectly enjoyable way to spend an afternoon. The style of writing *is* a little … [Read more...] about Bumped by Megan McCafferty #100books

Eric Carle's illustrations are hugely distinctive - if you've read the hungry … [Read more...] about The bad-tempered ladybird by Eric Carle #100books #FridayReadAlouds

Alongside the history day, I also want to squeeze in a quick review of a book I was sent that fitted in with today's theme. Alexander's Athenian Adventure, as you might imagine is set mainly in historic Athens.
