TITLE: Conspiracy 365 March AUTHOR: Gabrielle Lord GENRE: Action DATE: 11 April 2011 RATING: 4/5

PLOT SUMMARY: This book is the 3rd book in a series of 12 books. They are about a fugative, Callum Ormond who is in a race to stay alive for 365 days while is being chased by body guards, hunted by the police and pleaded to come home by his mother and uncle, Rafe. His sister is in a coma and hasn't woken up; so the hospital is planning to cut her life support. Callum and his friend, Boges are hunting to find the secret to the Ormond riddle which Callum's father was attempting to solve when he was killed.

PERSONAL RESPONSE: I really enjoy this series as they are thrilling and mysterious. Although sometimes I wish the author would use higher vocabulary and descriptive language. I like the idea of having one book for every month. I think that the plot for the story is very good but sometimes I feel like the story could have more substance. I like the idea of having his sister in a coma which adds another complication to the story. Overall I would reccomend this book to 10+ as the stories can become commplicated begining and ending in a crisis which means younger readers may find it hard to keep up with the story line.

Fierce September

Title: Fierce September Author: Fleur Beale Genre: Teenage Fiction Date: 19th June 2011 Rating: 4/5

Plot Summary: This book is the second book in the Juno of Taris triology. This book follows the Taris people on their journey to Aoteroa. Here they will face the kidness of their rescuer, Willem and the harshness of the people from Aoteroa. Fierce September describes Juno's new life on Aoteroa where she moves away from her mother and little sister to care for her friend Vima. When the Taris people arrive in Wellington a pandemic hits the country, Juno and her learning stratum must find out who let the pandemic lose and why do they want to blame the people from Taris.

Personal Response: I realy enjoyed this book at the begining but towards the end I felt it became quite uninteresting. I loved the first book; Juno of Taris, but I felt that this book wasn't quite what I expected it to be. I thought that this book would be alot more adventurous like the first book. I would reccomend this book to 12 and above as the story can be hard to understand sometimes.
