Zombie! Zombie! Is a great book about a boy Nathan and his sister Olivia who regularly visits their granddads grave, who has been dead for several years. On one visit they encounter a walking corpse. Zombie is written by tommy Donbavand. This short book is a great read. Like the zombies in scream street, those in zombie just want to party and rather than running for their life, Nathan and Olivia find themselves trying to help him shop for lemonade and a food party. But when a zombie-obsessed supermarket security guard begins to close in on them, they are in great danger. I recommend this short book to everyone. Robyn hay

The Unborn
The Unborn is a short story about a town where people have been going missing. Whenever someone tries to find out why there has been so many disappearances and goes into the woods, they end up going missing so nobody knows why. The story is very descriptive and also has a good climax. I would recommend it for people my age and if you like horror/mystery/crime stories. The story catches your attention and you don't know whats going to happen next so I would definitely recommend it.

Paula My Story So Far By Sarah Tait This book is written by the athlete Paula Radcliffe. Paula is an Olympic long distance runner with 13 national titles, starting with schools championships to cross country and marathon titles. The book tells you about the way that running has affected her life and tells you about her ideals, her goals and her dreams, She also tells you about her ambition which was at the end of her career she wants to be able to say " I believe I have achieved all that I was capable of achieving." This is a very important quote in the book for me showing the grit and determination that Paula had which clearly paid off when she ran her last marathon at London earlier this year. Paula tells you about her favourite runs when she was a little girl when she ran with her dad in Delamere Forest, how they would go most weekends and her brother and mum would leave in the car about 20 minutes later and meet them to give them their carton of orange juice and mars bars. Paula tells you about her ups and downs of her childhood and about her path to success all about how she would go on runs around the villages and her coach would come round in his car too. This book is very interesting though at points it is very tedious. My physio Kate recommended it to me and I would recommend it to people who enjoy endurance running or are interested in marathons and fitness.

Jessica Ennis: Unbelievable
Jessica Ennis is a British track and field athlete. She won gold medal in the heptathlon at the 2012 summer Olympics in London, the greatest night in British sporting history, but hidden underneath the smiles, Jessica has suffered lots. Being bullied at school for being small, she proved that size doesn't matter. She is a former British record holder in the 100 metres hurdle, high jump and the indoor pentathlon. Her inspiring tale tells how Ennis became from the bullied girl she was, to London’s poster girl, and how one ordinary thing can lead to extraordinary talents and that following your dreams no matter what life throws at you, can lead to world greatest titles.

starcrossed I would recommend readers that enjoy fantasy to read this book called “star-crossed” written by Josephine Angelini. It starts off as a typical teen life for a girl named Helen. She lives with her dad but her mother left her as a young child. She works with her dad’s friends and him himself in a corner shop to help pay for college. Her childhood best friends Claire and Matt are very enthusiastic, wild and all about the gossip while Helen prefers to keep to herself.
Helens life changed when gossip got around. The mind blowing attractive Delos family moved into a large and expensive condo and is transferring into her school. There are nine members of the Delos family and she turns to confusion when instead of being dazzled by their appearance she is drawn to hatred and wants to kill them.
