  I got Out Of The Darkness: Heartland free in the Pony Mag, i think it is really good. It is about a Stallion that is mental and he won't let a human go near him. Willl Amy ever find anyone that can make him come back to his real self?

  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!

  I've just read If the Shoe Fits (Princess School) and I really really enjoyed it. I love anything to do with princesses! I like the idea of going to a princess school and I think it would be great to have Snow, Rapunzel and Rose as friends. I have already got book 2 and I want to read book 3 and 4 as well. Oh and I like the shiny mirror on the cover of the book!

Montmorency is a master thief who has just been released from prison. After hearing about the wonders of the new London sewer system he decides to master the systems of tunnels and use them to accomplish his great robberies. But Montmorency also decides to become a gentleman in society and learn the ways of the rich.

I think the book was very unique and anyone would enjoy reading it. It takes a few chapters to get into it, but then it's quite fast paced. Maybe for younger readers it would be best to read with a parent. I definitely recommend this one!

Horrible Histories: England reveals the terrible truth from the barmy Britons to the terrible 20th century. Whether it's Body snatchers, Werewolves or tea, if it's got anything to do with the English it's in this book.

I like this book because it tells history in a fun way. This book is funny and horrible at the same time. Terry describes things in a funny [and horrible] way. I love this book and recommend you read it. Martin draws the pictures and cover very well. Please, read and enjoy this book.
