Five books you should definately read!

It's great to stick your head into a book when you want to-but it's hard finding an entertaining book that's perfect for you, and blurbs aren't always best to help find out whether you want to read that book or not. That's where book reviews come handy.

This blog is designed to help you discover books that could soon become your favourite books!

The world of books is quite large- you can find yourself anywhere- at anytime! To kick-start this blog, I'm going to tell you about 5 books, from my experience, that I think you should definitely read, getting even better (along the list) as we go down.

At five:
Michael Morpugo- "The butterfly lion".
Michael Morpugo is one of my favourite writers- not only are his books suitable for a varied audience, but he spread quite important messages to the readers through his books. Many of his books are about war, and what soldiers felt when they were at war- "The butterfly lion" is about a lion adopted by a family, and looked after. One day, Bernie, a little boy who looked after the lion like his brother, decides he has to let him free- but he was certain he would meet him again.

At four:
Michael Morpugo- "War horse"
Another amazingly emotional Michael Morpugo book, based on war, love and hate. In this book, the main message is we shouldn't always result in violence- violence is never the answer. This book shows life in war- and is narrated, by a horse.

At three:
Jodi Picoult- "My sisters keeper".
Before you read this book, remember to buy a box of tissues, or two.
Kate has been diagnosed with leukaemia, and her younger sister, Anna is a designer baby- she was born to save her sister, and one day she decides to sue her parents for the right to her own body.
I have to say, without giving anything away- the ending shocked me. You'll be crying- a lot.

At two:
Randa Abdel Fatah- "Does my head look big in this".
This book is absolutely amazing! The main message it portrays is- I will be me. Amal is an amazing friend and student, and decides to wear the hijab in high-school. At first she debates whether or whether not to, and has slight difficulty deciding. I learnt a lot from this book, to be me, not to let others get in my way- and, most important of all- to please my God is way more important than pleasing anyone else.

At one:
Suzanne Collins- "Hunger Games"
You absolutely have to read each book in the trilogy!
Each year one boy and one girl from every district (of twelve districts) is reaped, and selected to fight to the death in an arena, and when Katniss Everdeen volunteers for her younger sister, her entire life is changed. This trilogy is absolutely amazing- and I insist you read it! I watched the movie to, and they say a movie never beats the book- but this movie was nearly as good as the book!

I hope you found at least one book your going to read from this list- and each week I am going to add a quote from the book I have talked about- next time, I'm going to review today's number one book. So to end today:

"May the odds be ever in your favour".
