Running Wild

by Michael Morpurgo

Will and his Mum take a trip to Indonesia. It is a time for them to swim, relax and enjoy themselves. Will is riding Oona the elephant when a tsunami comes washing ashore. Oona doesn’t understand what is happening and starts to run inland through the jungle.

This is a great adventure book for 9 year olds and older who enjoy stories about the natural world, especially elephants.

An Undone Fairy Tale

by Ian Lendler

This book shows what goes wrong when an illustrator cannot keep up with illustrating the fairy tale told in the book.

My favourite parts were when I saw the fat, fat, FAT king and when Sir Wilbur’s men had to ride fish, and when Sir Wilbur had to fight a pretzel because the dragon was still in the shower.

I found this book really funny, and I recommend it for everybody at any age.
