Introducing Robo-Runners by Damian Harvey

Selwyn and Jensen are the first in our school to read
Robo-runners a series of futuristic stories about Al and Crank, 2 “good” robots.

Their role is to save the world from evil characters.

Selwyn and Jensen love these books and recommend them to 8 to 12 year old who enjoy science-fiction stories.

These books are written by Damian Harvey, and kept in our senior fiction shelf HAR.

Nathan loves this book because it tells him about lifecycles of insects and how they live. There is lots of easy to read information, not too many pages and has great pictures and photographs.
7 to 13 year olds who like to study nature would love this book.

Room 14 Reviews

Tiger Moth is an insect ninja. He has to save his city from an evil character. He is helped by his friend Kung Pow.
Rodney liked the graphic novel layout and would like to read other Tiger Moth stories.
These are great books for action / fantasy readers 7 to 10 years old.

Room 14 Reviews

Herbert read Keeker and the Springtime Sunshine. Keeker is 8 years old who loves her horse, Plum.
He didn’t finish the story because it was quite long and he didn’t find it very interesting.
He thinks that 7 and 8 year old girls would prefer this book.
Hannah has read this book and she liked it.
Tiger Moth is a moth who dresses up to look like a superhero tiger.
Tiger Moth and his friend Kung Pow fight the baddie weevil. Who wins?
This is a graphic novel, with lots of little well drawn pictures.
I think that 7 to 10 year old boys would be more interested in these books than girls.

Room 14 Reviews

Keeker is an 8 year old girl who love horse to ride her horse called Plum.
In this story, Keeker is out riding, and is surprised to find her Mum in the house of a strange lady.
