All you have to do is ‘share’ this post on your Facebook page and then get your child to message us with their name/age/which school they attend and which book they would like to review to our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/WhichSchoolUAE/?fref=ts and we will announce the winners on Thursday 19th November.
Winners will receive their book to review and will be expected to create either a video or written review for thewhichschooladvisor.com site.
Our next batch of books for review are:
Haunt Dead Scared: Curtis Jobling
Curtis Jobling, author of the acclaimed 'Wereworld' series of fantasy horror novels does it again with this 'dead-gripping' page-turner.
The Blurb: So you’re dead, but here you are, watching your own funeral, eavesdropping on your family’s secrets, hanging around… Only your best friend can se and hear you. Only he can help you find out why you haven’t departed. Is it because of that first kiss with Lucy Carpenter or the driver of that car that killed you? Maybe another ghost will know, so let’s try the haunted house…
The Review:” Dead good, dead funny, dead central character!” Charlie Higson
Scarlet Ibis: Gill Lewis
Reminiscent of the best of Jacqueline Wilson, Lewis deftly explores social realism, in her breathtaking new book.
The Blurb: Scarlet’s used to looking after her brother, Red. He’s special- different. Every night she tells him his favourite story- about the day they’ll fly far away to the Caroni Swamp in Trinidad, where thousands of birds fill the sky. But when Scarlet and Red are split up and sent to live apart, Scarlet knows she’s got to do whatever it takes to get her brother back…
The Review: “An uplifting and beautifully told tale…with much to appeal to fans of Lauren St John and Michael Morpurgo” Booksellar
Trouble Twisters: Garth Nix and Sean Williams
The first in the Trouble Twisters series introduces readers to Jack and Jaide and their wildly dangerous super-powers.
The Blurb: When their home suddenly explodes, twins Jack and Jaide are sent to live in a place they have never heard of, to stay with a grandmother they have never met. Portland might seem like a quiet costal town, but it soon becomes apparent that the strange things going on there are anything but ordinary.
The Review: "Full of adventure and the unexpected, the first book in Nix and Williams's new series is delightfully twisted. The pacing is perfect, the setting is eerily dark, the faceless Evil rings true, and the resolution is satisfying." Booklist
