Quidditch Through The Ages - Kennilworthy Whisp

The other of the two Harry Potter books released for Comic Relief years ago.
I enjoyed reading it, it was sweet. I don't have much to say about it but wanted to record the fact that I have indeed read it.
4/5

Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them - Newt Scamander

When I first got this in 2001 I barely read it, skimmed it and read various fairly entertaining passages but this time I read it cover to cover.
I love the world of Harry Potter.

4/5

There's a Boy in the Girls' Bathroom - Loius Sachar

Mum bought this book and said it was worth reading.
I'm a fan of Louis Sachar, have been since I read Holes and LOVED it, then read Small Steps and rather enjoyed that.

This book is for much younger children but its simplicity is lovely.
The story is sweet and has a good ending.
It seems like it would be good for young children to learn about each other.

3.5/5
I wouldn't read it again though, it isn't complex enough to forget what happens or to be as entertaining a second time round.

War Game - Michael Foreman

Mum brought me this book home from her school because it works as one of my Synoptic English War Literature texts.

It was a story about some friends who were involved in the Christmas game of football in WWI.

It was sweet, the best bit being that it was interspersed with actual propaganda posters.
