Year 5 Fiction - Type Up Your Book Review & Design a Cover (Weekend homework)

We are taking part in the Books Go Global wiki, sharing our favourite books. Your weekend homework is in two parts:

1. Type up a third draft of your book review and e-mail it to baldworm@baldworm.co.uk. Don't forget to spellcheck your work and read it through before you hand it in. No computer access? Write up your work on A4.

2. On blank A4, create an illustration we can post alongside your book review, e.g. if you were reviewing 'The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe' you might use pencil crayons to create a picture of Aslan or the White Witch.

Due: Monday

Book Recommendation - The Name of This Book is Secret!

I've been reading The Name of this Book is Secret, a fantasy novel by Pseudonymous Bosch, about the adventures of two children, Cass and Max-Ernest, as they investigate the mysterious death of a local magician.

The book is a must for fans of Lemony Snicket: the author claims that because the book revolves around a secret, the story itself is a secret, which is why the title cannot be revealed to the general public, and even the names of the characters are false names used to protect their identities.
