The Moa Cave - By Des Hunt - Book Review

The Moa Cave - By Des Hunt

The Moa Cave is about a boy named Tyler and who has won a trip with two other girls (called Hine and Mandy). 

This is the story of their adventures, a mystery and a truth and dare game. 

Tyler and Hine find themselves trapped in a cave with two little penguins. 

This story has daring, devils, danger and little bit of love. 

It is a great story for kids aged 7 - 20 years. 

We really liked it because it was set in Otago, near where we live. 

It is the kind of story that when your teacher gets to the end of a chapter you just want them to read MORE and MORE!!!

Book Review - Mr Stink

Mr Stink - by David Walliams

This is a really funny book that would be enjoyed from 7 years to 100!

12 year old Chloe becomes friend with a homeless man called Mr Stink.  He smells so bad that it is unbearable and off the scale. 

Chloe decides to invite Mr Stink to live in the shed in her garden, and all sorts of crazy things happen as a result. 

We read this class aloud in our Year 3 & 4 class and it was an absolute hit!!

Some of our favourite parts of the book were:

"I liked when Chloe was rude to the Prime Minister" - Issy, KC, Skye & Liv

"My favourite part was when Chloe met Mr Stink" - Katie & Annabelle

"I liked the bit when Chloe's mother gave her the exercise book with the story in"  - Emily

"It was funny when Mrs Crumb cried" - Angus & Nick

"It was funny when Elizabeth the cat got blown around the yard and landed in the pond" - Archie, Austin, Aria, Jess, Oscar & Chloe

"I liked the bit when Chloe got a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle stationary set" - Olive & Addy

"I loved it when Mr Stink told Chloe about his sad story" - Oranje & Charlotte

"I liked it at the end when they were talking about the stars" - Hannah

"I liked it when Mr Stink took a bath in the pond, and so did Duchess, and Duchess turned out to be a white dog!" - Mrs May, Ava & Grace
