The Awful Egyptians by Terry Deary- Its funny and grosum
- Chinese Cinderella by Adeline Yen Mah
- It tells the story of how a young girl survives at a time when there was disruption in China & although you would think that its a war story its not-it simply tells people about her life & dealing with her horrible stepmother.
- it was a really nice story about a girl about my age.
- It's based on a true story and written really well.
The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank- It's interesting to find out what it's like to go in hiding and how Anne had to live like at a very young age! I agree with Sophie it really well written for a girl her age
- Its really discriptive and you realise how much she suffered and how brave she was.

Lady Grace Mysteries by Grace Cravendish- I like this book cos' I like mysteries.
This book is really actually a diary written by someone else! It's a book that will keep you bitting your knukles in suspense and on the edge of your seat with excitment. It's thrilling and very adventureous about a young Maid of onour getting into loads of trouble just to solve a real cool mystery. It's a GREAT book! You should read it!
- A little Princess by Fances Hodgson Burnett
- it is a book that makes you feel warm and fuzzy and sometimes a bit funny it is a very old book and was changed so people understood the slang and i like it also because it make the little girl sara sound like she really is a princess but she is just a spoiled child that gets everything she wants and when ever but the thing is eventualy her luck changes she turns poor after and she is now not as well treated as usual!!!!
- Oathbreaker by Michelle Paver
- It is very adventurous, and it makes you want to read more.
- The Redheaded princess by Ann Rinaldi
- I like this because my mum says that i should be reading non-fiction books and not fantasy any more but i can say to her:"it's a historical book!" and that is true, just witha touch of fantasy! It's about Elizabeth the 1's childhood. I really suggest it to you guys!
- stone heart by diane grancy
- i like historical ficton
