Millions

Chapter 1-2


Millions sounds like its set in England. The main character is Damian and he has a brother called Anthony and a dad. They all sound like they are missing their mother and wife. We know that the mum is not living there but we don’t know why. Damian and Anthony have made a friend called freckle neck who is very large. Anthony seems rather strange and may be damaged by his mother leaving or not being with them. Damian loves Saints and can name lots of Patron Saints. On Damian's first day at school he strives to be excellent and tries to stand out by talking about saints. Then trys to stand out by being silent like one of the saints.





One of my predictions is that the audience will soon find out about what happened to the mother or maybe find the money.

Diary of a rugby champ

Author - Shamini Flint

Diary of a rugby champ is a book about a boy named Marcus who is not sporty but his dad is certain that he will find the sport that he is good at. Marcus's dad is a self help author and Marcus never seems to relate to his dads books. One day his dad signs him up for the club rugby team Marcus was not happy because he thought he was going to get hurt badly. In the end he manages to get the school bully on his side and manage to end up as a rugby champ. 

My favorite bit in the book is when Marcus scores the winning drop kick and then his dad says rugby is dangerous but the way you kicked the ball makes me think you world be great at taekwondo.
