The third book in the Cat Royal series, this book made me want to read the next one immediately. I love Cat's stories, although I'd rather live my life than hers, to tell you the truth. My life may not be too exciting, but I still want some fun in it! This time, I found the fun in this book. Julia Golding made her book so curious, my head almost exploded with all the different outcome possibilities. I really enjoyed this book and hope you do too.
Drury Lane is closing. Now Cat has no home to go to and has to find her own way to live. but life in london streets is harder that Cat imagined, despite having lived in London all her life. When Cat gets an opportunity to go to Paris, she accepts and suddenly she finds herself on French territory, with a lot more trouble than she could imagine...

An awesome sequel to the diamond of Drury Lane, the plot was original, well written and very interesting. Cat Royal thrills me and makes me feel like I'm living the adventure with her, not just reading it secretly at night under the bedcovers. I liked this book so much I imediately bought the third book, Den of Thieves, which I am now reading and will post when I have time to finsh the book and review it. All I can say was that it is was extremely interesting and full of adventure, like all former cat Royal books. I hope you will like this book too.
Cat Royal has some problems. Her friend Pedro, a former African slave with a musical talent, is being claimed by his old master, Mr Hawkings. Cat will do anything to save Pedro from the jaws of this evil man, even if it means consorting with Billy Shepherd and disguising as a boy... This book was so sad, and yet so amazing. Tommo's story is beautifully written, sad and, though fictional, quite realistic when it concerns the events that happened during World War l. I quite cried, not only because of the deaths, but because of the injustice of things. Somethings were just done so unfairly I could not believe those events were real. I was stunned. I hope you will read this book, not only to enjoy it, but also to learn about the injustice of life during WWI.
Tommo is in the war, waiting for his terrible fate to arrive. He has a night until his end will come. That night he will spend remembering his childhood, his life as it was before the war with his brothers Charlie and Big Joe, his mother and Molly, his friend. He remembers his life, both the good and the bad moments in it. His last night is spent in remembrance of everything he knew as home, everything he know he will never see again. This book was fun to read and had a lesson attached to it as well. It was, as all Enid Blyton books are, fabulous. Elizabeth was a really queer character, but nice and kind. This book slightly resembles ''The O'Sullivan Twins'' series, but has only one main character. I enjoyed it a lot.
Elizabeth does not want to go to school. When her parents decide to send her to Whyteleafe School, Elizabeth is furious and decides to be as naughty as she possibly can so that she will be sent back home. But what Elizabeth does not know is that Whyteleafe School operates differently to all other schools, and she is in for a shock! This is my favourite book. Not only the story is beautifully written, but Scout tells us her story so vividly I felt like I lived it myself. It was sad, sometimes, yet it gave me a feeling of understanding so deep I didn't realise what it was until a few minutes after finishing this book. I loved it. The story, the characters... Scout was easy to love, Jem too, Atticus... This book captivated my whole soul. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Scout lives in Maycomb, Alabama, with her brother Jem and her father Atticus, a lawyer. Atticus is appointed to be Tom Robinson's lawyer, a colored man accused with rape. And then there is Boo Radley, a mysterious neighbour with a strange past... I quite liked this book. It was fun to read, with an interesting, lively plot full of action. For Year 7's and up, it would be a great story. I think it was set during King George's reign, but, truth be told, I can't be sure. I liked the way it was told in 1st person, it kind of made me empathize more with Catherine, the main character in this story. And the end was quite surprising, considering the beginning of the story. It all turned out the opposite of what I thought. Some parts I did guess, but overall it was quite mysterious and exciting. I'd highly recommend it to Year 7's and above. Personally, I think it would be a great read for them, just as it was for me. And it did teach me more about life during that period, especially focusing on the diference in the life of a young theatre girl and the children of a Duke.
Catherine Royal lives in the theatre. She has no parents and was found on the steps of the theatre as a baby. Then the new prompt, Johnny, appears, and so does Pedro, a talented young african violinist. Then Catherine meets Lord Francis and Lady Elizabeth, the Duke of Avon's children, and has a few unpleasant encounters with Billy Shepherd... And then her life changes quite unexpectedly... This book was really interesting and fun, if not somewhat short. I quite enjoyed the sense of magic, and the ending, when Daine- Whoops! I almost spoiled the ending for you!!!
Anyway, I liked the ending and the feeling it gave me, making me feel good for Daine... And some parts were really funny, especially a part at the bottom of page 192. That part was quite hilarious! I would most definitely recommend it, it was great! Young Veralidaine (Daine for short) is homeless. She finds work with Onua, a horse trader, and travels far away to Tortall, where she meets The Lioness, Queen Thayet, Numair and many more! But when there is trouble looming ahead, Daine's secret talent will play an important part in the battle that will follow... |
