Mr Stink by David Walliams

Mr Stink is a story about a homeless wanderer who has a secret to tell.

This book is full of mystery and humour. David Walliams is very good at adding funny moments to the most serious of books. One example of this is when it says Chloe would always be able to smell him. David Walliams cleverly describes how much Mr Stink smelled.

My favorite character is Chloe because she is very sympathetic and caring. I particularly enjoyed the bit where Mr Stink is introduced. I like the way Mr Stink is old-fashioned. The action scenes are when Mr stink takes a bath in the pond.

Mr Stink is a funny tale with a dark secret. I would thoroughly recommend this book to Year 5 to 6 children. If you like funny and dark books this is the heart-warming taleĀ  is for you.

The Everything Machine b Ally Kennan

This is a story about a machine and the machine is called the Everything Machine.

This story is about a girl and a boy called Olly and Stevie. They get a delivery which isn’t theirs but they kept the machine. They asked for a never ending supply of sweets and a swimming pool in the shed, for starters. They even asked for a Dad but even better – a robot dad. They didn’t tell their Mum and Dad about the machine because they wanted to keep it a secret.

My favourite characters are Olly and Stevie because they are the main characters and they find the machine that can get anything and everything. As I read this book I felt happy because its a nice book and I laughed a bit along the way. I really enjoyed reading this book because they asked for a swimming pool and I love swimming. I liked the part where they asked for a robot dad and its really cool.

I would recommend this book to Year 5’s and Year 6’s because its a big book and it might be hard words in Year 4 and under.
