This story is the second book of three books in the series. This book is about when Percy goes back to school. Some strange things happen, but when he heads back to Camp Half Blood, he gets some disappointing news.

I personally like this book better than the others in the series because it is an action packed book with lots of good words to keep the reader interested.

The plot of the story is that Grover goes missing and Percy must find him. Percy is an ordinary boy but he is also a half blood, it means that they’re half God, half human. He can control water with his mind. My favourite part of the book is when Percy plays dodgeball with Giants!

The theme of this book is that Percy has to find a Balance between being an ordinary boy and the son of Poseidon.

I would recommend this book to other people because it is very enjoyable especially if you like action.

This book is really hilarious and funny with lots of lively action.

A boy called Greg goes on  holiday with his family and his flight got delayed, so he is really anxious about what will happen after when he gets on the plane. This book is full of fun and  illustrations to show what Greg is doing. He really hates his brother Rodrick, who always gets on his nerves, and always gets Greg into trouble. This always happens to me and my brother, we always argue.

I would thoroughly recommend this to age 9 to 11 year olds. It’s a bit like Gregs family. if you read the book, you will find it really amusing.

A comical, gripping and loving book filled with exiting turns and intelligent plots.

Bad Dad is a story about a family that start out rich, but  then every thing falls apart. The towns three greatest criminals find a way to get Franks loving father in to prison. But Franks has a plain to get him out!

David Walliams is very good at writing in a funny style, one example of this is when Auntie Flip reads her poems. My favourite character is Raj the newsagents. He is very nice to Frank and his products are gone off and priced to high!  I particularly like the part where they went into the well. There are meany breathtaking moments in this book,like the police chase. Through the story David Walliams explores the theme of family. For example when the family splits up on farther day . I really enjoyed reading  this book because it gets me on the edge of my seat.

I would thoroughly recommend this book to people the age of 9 and up.

Action! Adventure! Dinosaurs in dresses?

This book is HILARIOUS while keeping the nail-biting, chair-gripping drama intact. Egghead Ergo Ego is quite a stupid villain whereas charming Spynosaur is incredibly clever, but cracks puns that his daughter, Amber, absolutely dreads.

It was amusing when Spynosaur met the King of Italy in a cocktail dress. An exciting part was when there was a speedboat chase through the tranquil canals of Venice. I like the way Guy Bass made a perfect balance between humour and action, which is something I like. There is also two sequels called ‘Spynosaur VS Goldenclaw’ and ‘Spynosaur: The Spy’s the Limit!’. It’s an excellent book and I love the second one too.

I would highly recommend this book for the 9-11 age group and would be good competition for the Alex Rider series. This is a must for people who like the spy genre.

A lovely, jolly adventure book,full of amusing and emotional scenes.

A young boy called Nickolas is having a hard time as he is poor and lives  in a tiny cottage in the middle of nowhere. His father gets offered a job and him getting this is the beginning of how Nickolas became Father Christmas

Matt Haig has cleverly added some unimaginable scenes such as when a pixie blew up a trolls head.Then there are also some sad scenes for example when Nickolas is left with his aunt.Personally I think think this book is bound to entertain you with its tense scenes and unfamiliar action. I really liked one of the most tense scenes when Nickolas is freeing a elf and the men with him start to fire arrows. Along side this action there are more serious parts of the book such as a kidnapping scenes and a death.

I recommend this book to age 9-11 year olds and even more to people who like Christmas because this is the story of how Father Christmas became Father Christmas and the book is full of impossible things.

This  book  is  a  funny  story  because  there  is lots of funny  chapters 

In this book a boy called Dennis goes to his friend  Lisa’s house and puts on a  dress and he goes to a shop and to school in a dress.

David  Walliams is very good at writing  funny books and it makes the reader laugh. My  favourite character is  Dennis because he wears a dress to school. I really enjoyed reading this book because I like reading funny stories.

If you enjoy reading  funny books you will love this book .

This is an amusing, adventurous book.

The Long Haul, is about a family who goes on a road trip. There is a boy called Greg and for him things start of good but then things start to go down hill.

I like this book because there are quite a few twists. The twists are quite funny and unexpected at times. I find this book funny because of some of the speech the characters say and do. One of my favourite parts of the story was when Manny and mum went to the theme park and they won a prize, the prize was a pig.

I recommend this book to people who like entertaining and adventurous books, from ages 9-11.

A hilarious and gripping action packed book, filled with different species of human, plus toilet humour!

George, Harold ant they’re past selves, suddenly have a stinky problem to worry about. The boys’ malicious gym teacher, Mr Meaner, has created a method of mind control that transforms their fellow students into attentive, obedient, perfect children. Now the future of all humanity is in George and Harolds’s hands!

I like this book because of the hilarious and action, the theme of the book and the toilet humour, especially on pages 14 and 15, 139-149 and 153-161. I especially like the comic of Dog Man which George and Harold made up. My favourite character(s) are the three pterodactyls/bionic hamsters, Tony, Orlando and Dawn. A telepathic signal reached their treehouse from future George and future Harold who were sucked into the growing body of Mr Meaner. They were the only ones who heard it because yesterday George and yesterday Harold were asleep. I also like  the Flip-o-Rama because it is really funny. I would recommend this book to people who like toilet humour and it is a must read book.

This book is action packed and is filled with twists.

This book is about a girl who accidentally buys a racehorse, the problem is that the racehorse will not gallop. If the racehorse doesn’t gallop then he will not win the Derby, if he doesn’t win the Derby then Charlie’s family will lose their house and all their belongings.

Charlie Bass loves horses and wants to become a professional jockey, however, the closest she had ever got to riding a horse was riding a cow! Harry and Larry are always fighting and never do any chores. Joe is my favourite character because he is a hard worker and a faithful servant.

I enjoyed this book, there are lots of facts about horses in history. The author was a comedian, hence its humorous and amusing. There’s a theme of fulfilling your dreams when Charlie gets to ride a horse, and having a changed feeling like when Harry and Larry used to hate Charlie but ended up standing up for her.

This book is recommended to horse lovers. You’ll enjoy the read and learn some more facts!

A clever and funny comedy adventure, filled wit hilarious characters and fast-paced action. 

Twelve year-old Elliot is having a difficult time. With a poorly mum to look after, a nightmare teacher on his case at school and a nosy neighbour, who has her eye on their farm, he needs help. Help arrives in the form of Virgo, an inexperienced star constellation with an irritating manner. Things get worse when they accidently let loose Thanatos, king of the Demons, and, together with the ancient Greek gods, who Virgo brings out of retirement, they must hatch a plan to stop his evil mission. 

Maz Evans has amusingly reinvented some classical Greek characters giving them some modern, and very human character traits: Zeus is a portly charmer in Bermuda shorts; Hermes is a fashion conscious boy racer; Athene and Aphrodite are talented squabbling sisters. This creates plenty of opportunity for funny scenes and snappy dialogue as the mortal and immortal worlds collide. The story speeds along, moving from Elliot’s very ordinary home to mythological Elysium to the Tower of London. The action will have you laughing out loud and keep you gripped to your seat. I particularly enjoyed the hilarious, ruined wedding and exciting, perilous train journey. I like the way the author carefully includes some more serious issues alongside the humour. Elliot’s role as a young carer to his mum, who seems to be suffering symptoms of dementia, is dealt with sensitively and his challenges at school will be familiar to some readers. The themes of Teamwork and Friendship are well explored, as the gods use their talents together and Elliot and Virgo learn to get on. 

‘Who Let the Gods Out’ is a wonderful story which had me smiling and got me thinking. I would thoroughly recommend it to readers in Year 5 and 6, who like funny, adventurous stories. Anyone who is interested in Greek mythology will find Maz Evans’ take on the Greek gods particularly entertaining.
