This book is brilliant! It's about a boy called Alfie, who has rotten teeth. He hasn't been to the dentist for six years, after a rather disturbing appointment with the ancient dentist,Mr Erstwhile. Alfie just had a simple case of toothache,but Mr Erstwhile did something rather strange- he yanked the tooth out. But, he made one tiny mistake...he took out the wrong tooth! You will be falling of your seat laughing when you read this awesome adventure, starring Alfie,Gabz,Miss Root,Dad,Winnie and the one and only Raj!This is a must-read!

The Wilma Tenderfoot Series is about a girl from Cooper-a little island between Britain and France. It has a Lowside and a Farside. Wilma is a Lowsider-she was dumped at the gates of the Institute of Woeful Children with a blanket and a tag saying:

The Thieves of Ostia
Caroline Lawrence

This book is in a series of 17. It is the first one.The main Character is called Flavia (flay-vee-ah) and her friends:

Jonathan ben Mordecai
Nubia
Lupus

They help out Flavia when she goes out and solves her mysteries. Her father is away a lot. I LOVED
this book, so if you love a good mystery that always leaves you on a cliffhanger then this is series for you!

The Hobbit

The Hobbit
J.R.R Tolkien

This book is about a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins who one day finds dwarves coming to his door! They want him to join them on an adventure to kill Smaug the Magnificent-a deadly dragon who destroyed the Dwaven town of Dale. Personally I didn't really enjoy this book, although there are some really exciting bits. If you like really descriptive adventures, this is the book for you!
