My Swordhand Is Singing

My Swordhand Is Singing is a terrific tale of terror by Marcus Sedgwick. In seventeenth century russia in in a dark desolate forest evil is stirring. In the small isolated town of chust something petrifying is about to happen. Now a father and son, along with help from nomadic travellers must battle strange supernatural beings that are about to rise.in this time of terror one weapon can destroy the living dead one slash and the undead are dead once more.

We read this book in Ms. Orton's English class and we would recommend to anyone, especially over 5 as it is quite scary and there are some complicated words and some swearing.

Kasper by Michael Morpurgo

Kasper first arrived in the hotel in a box. Johnny Trott knows this because he was the bellboy carrying him in to the Savoy Hotel, screeching and howling. (The cat, I mean!). Kasper was bought to the hotel by none other then the countess of Russia, Countess Kadinsky. Over the next few weeks the countess and Johnny develop an almost mother son relationship. But when the Countess dies she leaves Johnny the prince of cats himself. Kasper. They develop a great bond and soon they are fighting for their lives aboard a legendery ship.

This is an amazing book and another triumph for Mr. Morpurgo!!1 I rate it 10/10!
