Story Time- Fiona The Pig by Leigh Hobbs




I have been reading this book to my daughter Sophie for the last four nights. She loves it. The story is about a pig called Fiona who loves ballet,the colour pink and who loves having a tea party with her dollies. Her mum and dad are upset that Fiona is this way and not a dirty messy pig like them.

SOPHIES THOUGHTS(aged 5)

I love Fiona the pig . I think her mum and dad are funny because they are so messy and fiona is nice and clean.

MY Thoughts:

I enjoyed this book which was a quick read about a boy called Mark who feels mad about being taken away from his old life and put into a new one with a stepfather he doesn't like and a mother who seems to be sick all the time. To get away from the house Mark becomes friends with the old lady who lives in the basement. This lovely old lady invites Mark into another world full of surprises..

What's a Ghoul to Do? (Ghost Hunter Mysteries, Book 1) by Victoria Laurie




MY THOUGHTS:

I have never read a paranormal book before and im glad I chose this book! M.J is a medium and she and her best friend Gilley have set up a "Ghost Busting" business. I really enjoyed this book. I loved all the main characters but i did have a soft spot for Gilley. I can't wait to read the next M.J and Gilley adventure
