Iron Soldiers


I chose to write about the story, Iron Soldiers, because i am learning about medieval life and this book is related to that theme. It talks a lot about a black smith's life and the things one would have gone through back in those days. The black smiths in the story are asked to make war suits and everyone knows that back then, the war suits were expensive. Throughout the story, we are shown the advanced changes that were made to the war suits. The complication in this story is when the smiths try to think of a better way of making the suits look professional and how to make them fit the soldiers perfectly. It is then resolved when one of them thinks of making a war suit that is the perfect size and weight for the knight. I would recommend this book for people aged 8 and over because i think history/humanities is not only for secondary school students; it's for everyone. I think this book was a great book!

A New Kind of Dreaming


I chose this book because out of the three books that i had it was my favorite, the title was also different to most other books i had read and i wanted to know what the reason behind this was. The book was called A New Kind of Dreaming by Anthony Eaton. I would recommend this book to an age group of 12 and upwards because it had a fairly complicated storyline with lots of twists and some very complex language. I don't think that i would read another book from this author because although i enjoyed this book i like to read books about fantasy and suspense, not so much real life mysteries. This book does not have a movie to accompany it but i think if there was a movie that it would be a very exciting one. This book is based around a character called Jamie, he has been caught in the drivers seat of a stolen car and has been sent off to a very isolated town named Port Barren. In this small town there are a few secrets that best be left undiscovered for the benefit of the town, once Jamie gets word of such secrets he can't control his curiosity to explore. As he ventures deeper and deeper into the mystery of Port Barren things become more and more dangerous, some of the residents of Port Barren would like to keep their secrets hidden.
