Born Again Ben by Rob Sprackling
reviewed by Ryan
Born Again Ben is about a boy named Ben who was a bit of a bully. Ben always bullied others until one day he was run over by the number 94 bus. Ben was ‘born again’ firstly as a cockroach and then a frog, gorilla, and finally a budgie.
I think this book would be suitable for 7 + years as I don’t think children under that age children would understand it. You would like this book if you like an adventure!
I am giving this book five stars because it is funny and adventurous and I think lots of people would laugh and love it.
Rating: 5/5
Spacejackers by Huw Powell
reviewed by Brad
Spacejackers is about a boy called Jack whose Dad dies in an unknown accident. Jack is taken by a citizen to a station (it doesn’t say where) and gets looked after by beings called cybermonks.
I’d recommend to anyone who likes slow going adventure stories. It should probably be read by children aged 9 +
Unfortunately this book only has ONE illustration, which didn’t give me a great image in my head.
However the descriptions gave the most amazing pictures but I think there could be some more action a little bit of the time. Luckily it has the creativity of any other fantasy story and then multiply it!
Rating: 9/10
