About My Blog

My name is Laura and I am nine years old. This blog is for children 9 - 12 years old,  who are interested in reading a variety of books. It is also for parents who want to know if a certain book is appropriate or recommended for their child's age. 

I have read A LOT of books. Reading is one of my favourite past times. I have reviewed the books that I read this summer (2015); however, I will continue reviewing books throughout the year.

Each posting has my summary and review of the book. I also have written quotes that I liked. My ratings are out of five. For a quick glance, you can look at the end of the post and see the ratings as happy faces. Some postings, provide trailers to related movies. 

If there is a book that you would like me to read and review, please leave me a comment and I will try my best to post my summary and recommendation.

If you know of good books that you recommend, please let me know. I would appreciate reading them! Also, if you agree or disagree with my ratings, let me know. If you disagree, I won't take it personally. This is just my view of the book and we all have different opinions. I enjoy discussing books.
