The Little Sister series is about a girl names Karen, who has a different adventure in every novel. Whether it getting a new pony or winning the spelling contest. I used to read them when I was between the ages 6-8. There are many in the series and I have read most of them.I enjoyed reading them because Karen is a very family orientated person, like myself and I could relate to her.
Max Remy Superspy Series:
The Max Remy Superspy series is about a girl named Max Remy, who is a spy and completes missions around the world, destroying evil. Her and her friend Linden, who works with her, are always equipped with a new set of gadgets for every mission, and a thrown into the great big world, ready to fight evil. I read them when I was 11 and 12 years old, and have read the series about four times except the last two. I love them for the action, and how Linden and Max work so well as a team.
Alex Rider Series:
The Alex Rider Series are similar to the Max Remy series, except it is a 14 year old boy who eventually follows in his Uncle’s footsteps and becomes a spy also. After his Uncle, who was a spy dies; Alex is determined to unlock the secret behind his death. From them onwards, he works for a spy agency and completes a new mission on every book. I read the series when I was 11 and 12 years old and have read the series about five times. I love the series, because Anthony Horowitz, the author, keeps you in suspense the whole novel!
Looking for Alibrandi:
Looking for Alibrandi is about the character Josie, trying to find who she is, buy breaking free from her family traditions and cultures, and becoming an individual. I read it for the first time in year nine when we studied it in English. I enjoyed the novel , because I could relate to Josie and her Italian background, and the pressures she receives from her family to live up to her Italian traditions. This book made me appreciate my Italian heritage more than I ever have, and it made me think about who I am and where I come from. It made me feel proud about my Italian background.
The Making of Me:
The Making of Me is about a girl (Tegan Wagner) retelling the story of the time she was raped at a party, and the long and intensive trial that followed. I read it last year as part of my research for my English oral, and it is different from any book I’ve ever read. I found the novel to be quite disturbing and horrific at times, but it has made me aware that you can’t trust anyone and should always be weary of the people around you
