These books are the best that I have read by Sebastian Rook I mean the part where Jack and Dominique almost fall in love and Jack is held captive but my favorite is THE WHOLE THING in Vampire Plagues Paris, 1850! I give this book a 5 star rating.

I have just finished reading Vampire Plagues 4: Outbreak and 5: Epidemic by Sebastian Rook.
I'm a huge fan of this series. Every time I start reading one I can barely put it down until I'm finished. I highly recommend these books!
The Lampirs in these two books were more frightening than the regular vampires in the first three books, since they don't have restrictions like not being able to enter a house unless they are invited in.
I love the cover art. Bats are my favourite animal, so it's what attracted me to the book in the first place. Then I read the description on the back and it sounded good so I read it and was hooked :D
The characters in this series are great. I've grown really attached to Jack, Ben and Emily, who are the main characters. I really like a lot of the minor characters too. And Camazotz was awesome.
One problem I find in this series is a lack of description sometimes. For example, I didn't find out what colour Ben's eyes were until the fourth book. Jack was the only character who got a full description in the first book.
However, that's a minor problem and I still love these books to bits. I can't wait until 6: Extermination come out!

I have just read Tamora Pierce's book Tricksters Choice and Trickster's Queen. I think they are the absolute best short series in the world. Tamora Pierce is the best author in the world too.

Horrible Science books are the best! I' ve just finished reading EXPLOSIVE EXPERIMENTS by Nick Arnold. The book mainly gives you an idea on what experiments are and the different BONKUS experiments that had been tried out in the past. But the best bit of the book is.... when you get to try out your own experiment! You would expect a science related book to be BOOORING, however this book makes science seem so enjoyable and interesting. It's the hilarious sentences the author writes which is brilliant. The book just cracks me up as soon as I start reading. It is just so funny! Oh, and the cover - that too is colourful, funny and very attactive for readers.
There is nothing negative to say about this book, infact I would recommend this book to all my friends at school (espescially the ones that hate science).

Mummies in the Morning by Mary Pope Osborne
I enjoyed this book because Jack and Annie go on an exiting journey back in time to Ancient Egypt . They discover that the ghost queen had lost the curse to the underworld.
I found the book was a bit scary but I enjoyed it and I liked the way the author described the tree twirling round and round. I could imagine the picture in my head as I read along.
I couldn't put the book down as it was that good. I also liked the front cover because it's colourful.

I've just read Blind Beauty and I really liked it. I think that K M Peyton can really touch your feelings. I would recomend Blind Beauty and Flambards to anyone aged between 7 and 10.

My Story: Voyage On The Great Titanic - The Diary Of Margaret Anne Brady, 1912.
This is a book which really wants you to read more, and even when you’ve finished it, you want to read it again and again.
I love this book because it really makes you feel like your there. Not a negative point about it. I should know, I’ve read it 6 times!
A must read!

Vampire Plagues London, 1850 is the best book I have ever read. The author, Sebastian Rook has such a great writing style of ending his chapters so that you want to keep reading. I wanted to figure out what was going to happen so bad that I bought the second one the next day. I hope to get the next ones so I can discover what is going to happen in these exciting books. These books are great!
