    My favourite author is Jacqueline Wilson. She is an English author who writes about under privileged and bullied children. I love her books because they are very unpredictable and exciting. I would recommend Lily Alone, Candyfloss and Cookie. These books are her most exciting with more than just one big problem.

    My favorite author is Brian Jaques. He is an English author who is known for his Red wall series. Which are fantasy adventure storys set in the conflicts of an imaginary animal kingdom. I like his books because they are different to most books. Personally my favorite books of the series are The legend Of Luke, Martin The Warrior and Outcast Of Redwall. Through if you are going to read RedWall you should start from the beginning of the series

    My favourite book is The Curse Of Camp Cold Lake. It is a horror story that you have to solve mysteries and think throughout the book. It is written by R.L Stines who writes the series of Goosebumps. I have read loads of stories from the collection of the Goosebumps, like The Curse Of The Camp Cold Lake, Haunted House, Haunted Mask, Stay Out Of The Basement, Welcome To Camp Slither, Say Cheese And Die, Frankenstein’s Dog, The Night Of The Living Dummy and The Creep From The Deep. I think you should read Goosebump stories, and as you see i have read many of them and the best is by far The Curse Of Camp Cold Lake. I could read the book over, and over again because it always gives me shivers down my spine. So if you like books that you have to solve mysteries and give you goosebumps, The Curse Of The Camp Cold Lake is a perfect book for you.

    My favorite authors are definitely Suzanne Collins and Jacqueline Wilson.
    Suzanne is one my top authors because her books are outstanding, especially The Hunger Games, Catching fire and last of all Mocking Jay. most of them are moves now but not so Mocking Jay, but the director and his gang are making the movie at the moment so it won’t be out till late next year.I don’t no how Suzanne does it but to write a story about two young teenagers that fight for there life in an arena filled with twenty one tributes trying to kill them. Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Marlock have a big journey through the three story’s till the end.One of the actors in the movie has Jennifer lawrence has now won two trophies at the golden globe.

    Jacqueline Wilson however writes story’s about such challenging themes like adoption, divorces and mental illness. My favorite books written by her are The Dare Game and The Illustrated Mum. The Dare game is about adoption, with a young girl who got adopted but she wants to be with her mum. The illustrated Mum is about mental illness, where her two children hate her because she always gets drunk then she gets breast cancer, and the children the have no one to look after them while she is in hospital.
    Jacqueline wilson has written over 90 children book’s, and has sold over thirty five books in the U.K. Think about reading her books now.

    My favourite author is Veronica Roth because she has a great imagination and writes great books. I am currently reading the book "Divergent" which is about a teenage girl who lives in a world divided into 5 factions based on peoples personalities. Divergent is in a trilogy that consists of 2 other books: Insurgent and Alligiant. Divergent being the first, Insurgent being second and Allegiant being the third. Veronica Roth has sold over 11 million copies for this series. Book publishes thought that the books were so good that they actually made a Divergent movie that came out in cinemas in March, 2014. Insurgent will be out in cinemas early 2015. I recommend you to start reading these books if you haven't already and you like adventure books.

    One of the books from the series 'Hippo Animal' that I've read and really enjoyed is called, "Owl Cry." Its written by Deborah Van der Beek. Its about an orphan boy and he is sent to live with this man. This man owns a dog and lives around a lot of barns which means that the rare barn owls come out at night. One gloomy, black night the boy can't go to sleep then he hears a screech in the night, he thinks it is a woman at first, and soon finds out the truth.

    My Favourite Author at the moment is David Hill. David has written many books like...See ya, Simon, Ghosts And Ghoulies, but my favourite one is Journey To Tangiwai. He was born on 1942 and grew up in Napier, NZ. He has won many awards and is a master to hooking in people with his way of words. You should read the Tangiwai book sometime its amazing.
