~Review~ What Not to do If You Turn Invisible by Ross Welford

Title: What Not to do If You Turn Invisible
Author: Ross Welford
Publisher: Harper Collins
Rating: 4/5


Ethel is invisible

She only meant to cure her acne, but after she finds out about a acne cure, Ethel accidently  turns invisible with help of a dodgy sun bed. Her family is broken - her mother died when she was little, her dad is no where to be found, Ethel's great granny is in a home and now she lives with her gran.  She goes on an adventure of discovery and friendship to find out who she is and help mend her family.

What I think:

I gave this book 4/5 because it was quite slow in the beginning, even though it's great later on. If you don't like slow starts, you might be put off reading further on.
It's interesting and for girls and boys aged 9 +

~Review~ Ink by Alice Broadway

Title: Ink
Author: Alice Broadway
Publisher: Scholastic
Rating: 5/5



Leora has something to hide

In her community, every deed, every milestone is tattooed on you. You can read people, and see if they've lead happy lives or not. When a person dies, their skin is made into a book for the relatives to look at and so that they can remember them.
When Leora's dad dies, his skin book is held back so that the government can decide whether her dad is worth being a book. No one knows why, apart from her mum.
What's the secret? Has Leora's dad lead a good life?

What I think:

I think that this book is cleverly written and if it wasn't for the beautiful cover and interesting first page, I would probably wouldn't have read it. I could never put it down and it's fun to peek into a fantasy culture! Great for boys and girls aged 12+
