One of our new books Keepers of the Lost Cities has been reviewed by Lexi L (Year 6).

KEEPER OF THE LOST CITIES by Shannon Messenger  

A page turner that can’t be ignored.

Keeper of the Lost Cities is a fantasy adventure book that takes place in the blind spots of our world; Atlantis, the Sahara desert and many other places. These places are called the Lost Cities. 

I enjoyed this marvellous story created by Shannon Messeng- er. I enjoy it so much! Sophie is heart-breakingly taken away from her family, unwillingly, and is to be raised by the Elves in the lost cities, as she is one too.

Destined for a life of adventure, mystery, crime, awkwardness and betrayal, Sophie Foster begins her new and unpredictable life, as a manifesting elf. 

I also loved how the black swan, a secret organisation, stored forbidden knowledge in Sophie’s head without her knowledge…

And Delphi S (Year 6) has reviewed Then.

Then
Author : Morris Gleitzman

It’s 1942. After Felix and Zelda narrowly escape a nazi train, they’re on the run desperately trying to survive; wishing for a better life for themselves and the other Jews.

Then, is a heart aching story, though most of  the characters are fictional, a lot of the scenes in this book have unfortunately most likely been experienced by many in this time period.

I’d highly recommend Then for anyone interested in learning more about one of the most important times in history. This book will leave you in tears. I would rate this book 4.5 out of 5.
