Junior Review: Funny Kid Stand Up

This story is about Max. Max is the funny kid, or so he used to be, but he has lost all his 'funny.' It's terrible timing as the town talent show is on. Max loses his grandpa to kidnappers and goes on an adventurous journey meeting lots of new people.

Max is a funny kid, but doesn't always know it. He can be stubborn, annoying, silly and scared. Sometimes he looks on the bright-side and sometimes the dark.

I liked the surprises and exciting parts. It is a great book for anyone to enjoy. It's funny, exciting, awesome and nerve-wracking. There is a lot of suspense which kept me turning the pages. I couldn't put it down.

The writing is quite big with lots of pictures through the pages in a cartoon style. It is really easy to read so it would be good for some kids who may find reading a bit hard.

Junior Review: Surf Riders Club: Ava's Big Move

I loved this story about a city girl called Ava who moves to a beach town. At the beginning she is lonely because she has left her best friend in the city, but she makes new friends through surfing. Ava starts off learning to surf in the beginners' group with some other girls. They all work together to get better. 

This story has a lot of suspense and action and even some blood. I wanted to keep turning the pages and reading after Mum told me to turn off my light. I read the whole book in two days because it was so good and exciting.  I have now read it three times!!! I love it so much! I really want to get all the stories in the Surf Riders Club!

I related to the story because I live in a beach town and love surfing.  Ava gets to learn to surf through lessons at school. I'm really lucky because I get to do this too.
