Chinese Cinderella an the Secret Dragon Society By Adeline Yen Mah

This book is all about friendship, loyalty and being wanted. When Adeline Yen Mah gets kicked out of her own home, on to the streets of the dangerous Shanghai (During the World War 2, and China is being invaded by Japanese soldiers), she has nowhere elso to go. But then she remembers that the day before she saw an amazing acrobatic show. Then she also remembers that she got a buisness card from them. And that is where the most amazing journey begins.

Rating: ******

I would recommend this book to anyone because it is a true story by a lady who really survived the whole World War 2.

This book is about 2 girls who have been best friends from when they were born. One is called Gemma and the other one is called Alice. Gemma is mostly the adventurous one and Alice is the sort of cry baby one. One day Gemma finds out that Alice has a secret that is just too hard to tell. But it might break them up for ever.

6/6

I would recommend this book to mostly girls because it is about girls, but if a guy wants to read it then I know they will have fun and enjoy it.

This book is about two boys, one bad boy Max and one smart but small boy (with a dictionary) Kevin. one day they meet and Max starts to turn into a better person because of the strong friendship in between them two. But because of Kevins knowledge and Maxes body, they form Freak The Mighty!!!Together they go on adventures and quests until the day day comes...

I really enjoyed reading this book because of all the voice in the sentences and the really interesting parts. but i really think that the end is really sad cause of the death of Freak.
