If Only I'd Known by Jenny Davis
If Only I'd Known is about a boy and a girl called Livvie and David who attempt to help a neighbour because her husband is beating her. They try their best to help but something tragic happens to David. My favourite character from this book is Maggie. I loved this book because I liked seeing what was going to happen next. I would recommend this book to older readers because of what happens in the story. I give this book a rating of 4/5.
I See You Baby by Kevin Brooks
Keith is a teenage boy who goes to a rock concert. He was going to go with his friends but they ditch him and he ends up going by himself. Sally also ends up going to the same concert where they meet and become friends. My favourite character is Sally and I liked this book but it was quite grown up and there was quite a bit of swearing in it. I would recommend this book to people who like rock music and to older readers. I give this a rating of 3/5.
The Midnight Fox by Betsy Byars
This book is about a boy called Tom who went to his aunt's house and found a black fox. His uncle was going to kill the fox but Tom lets the fox's baby go so that his uncle will stop and so the adult fox can survive. I didn't like how Tom kept thinking about what his friend would say or do or what headlines his friend would come up with but everything else about the story was really good. My favourite characters had to be the fox and her baby and I really liked the book. I would recommend this book to readers who like animals and also my friends. I give this book a rating of 5/5 because it was so good.

Under a War-Torn Sky by LM Elliott
This book is about a pilot who gets shot down over Nazi occupied Europe and has to escape. It builds up tension when the German officers came to the place where he was hiding in case he was discovered. He is helped by the French Resistance to get from town to town. I loved Pierre and Henry and really liked this book as it was exciting. I would recommend this book to any reader who enjoys books about war. I give this book a rating of 5/5!
