Shortly after, the camp shop runs out of supplies and the campers go hungry so Greg is stuck with no one to play with. It sounds awful.

As well as this, these series of books (Diary of a Wimpy Kid) are not expensive and would expand little and big minds. How did it make you feel? It made feel energetic and excited to read on! The book is always full of humor so I always have a laugh!

Name: Jovita- Dron Y6 Book Title:The Ice Monster Author:David Walliams Illustrator Tony Ross Genre: Action and adventure Star rating: 5 Best bit: In Victorian times, it was not uncommon for new-born babies to be abandoned outside orphanages, hospitals or even the homes of upper- class folk. Their poor, desperate mothers hoped their children would be taken in and given a better life than their birth families could provide. Recommendation: Because although it's hilarious it's also historical and educational. It's adventurous and intriguing, there's twists and turns and mysteries to be unfolded. Upper-class punctuation and beautiful illustrations. How did it make you feel? It made me feel passionate about the past but also about what I want to do in the future. However, it did hurt my tummy because of how funny it was!
