Woeful Second World War!

In the gruesome Horrible Histories series a war has come to take place...
This is the Woeful Second World War!

This book is filled with not just facts...

...but gory facts!

I wonder if it could get any better?
  •  First the cover(that was funny):
  • Two: ALLITERATION!
  • Three look at the time line-my favourite; second world war! 
THIS CONTAINS:Grandpa stealer's, war traitors,QUICK QUIZ'S , monkey eaters and more!

That's what a the book should be really about...
...to rate it I would give it 9/10 because i couldn't stop reading it!

Lets see what you think eh? http://horrible-histories.co.uk/books/4547/


Tanks a lot !, Morris over and out!

The Big Bang Theory



Will background radiation from the Big Bang ever run out? This is one of the questions Indigo and Dylan discuss in their Big Bang Theory discussion.

If you look at Dylan's You Tube account, there are other short films like this to enjoy. Including a longer piece on the Big Bang and how it happened.

My First Book Review! 'The Ranger's Apprentice!'

This is the book I'll review today: THE RANGER'S APPRENTICE, BOOKS I & II by John Flanagan.



http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51hdnddSXuL._SL500_AA300_.jpg
See this on Amazon UK.


Oi guys! Don't go to sleep! I know you're thinking "Can you do it? it's your first review!" Well maybe you're thinking, "Get on with it!" so okay I'll do it...

Here I go:


Will is:

a nearly 15 year old boy

who is an orphan

his mother died in child birth

his father died a hero

Hoping to become a knight, but being an orphan, Will is under the Lord Baron's control while he trains. His wish is to become an apprentice to one of the Craftmasters when he reaches the age of fifteen.

But when the big day comes, the seven Craftmasters reject him because of his lack of height. Sad and worried about his future, for he can only become a villager by gaining an apprenticeship, Will notices Halt the Ranger giving the Baron letters. Will guesses those letters might be about HIM!

But those letters are just the start to this action-packed story that leads Will to his destiny ...

My favourite bits of this book were the descriptions of special battle skills and equipment, bows and arrows etc. I would recommend it to people who dream of becoming great archers, perhaps doing archery in the Olympics. Will is a great hero, the book has a punch-in-the-face storyline, and I enjoyed most of all the good but tragic ending to this 2in1 book.

My rating would be 9/10.

I liked it, and it would make sense if you liked the book to! This volume has two books in one, so it's good value too.

The author, John Flanagan, has a website for The Ranger's Apprentice.

Dreams,Dreams,Dreams

Hi guys! This is Dylan Here!
Sorry for the long gap, but things have come up (leaks, visits from our big sister Katy and meeting our nephew Kieran) meaning we could not have blogged as much as we would.

Mum said I should blog about my dream, so here goes:

It was about zombies.
A man locked his wife up because she was a zombie. He fed her random people from the street. One day, he kidnapped a girl. She tried to run from the zombies but failed. So instead she ran to a window and drew a face which probably meant,"Help! Get me outa here!". A man and his dog spotted it while there were riding on their flying bicycle( With an open cargo platform beneath big enough to fit a car in) and went to the rescue. They failed. While they rode home, a car drove through the window and landed on the cargo platform. Out (of the car, not the window) jumped the non-bitten girl and she shouted "I'm free!".
The Dream Ended.

Hope you enjoyed this blog post. We WILL blog more frequently in later months, or my name is't Dylan.
From,
Dylan(or is it) and the DMI.

Dyl out.

Indigo's published another book for kids!


Indigo has published a brand-new ebook called HOLLY AND THE RABBITS FROM MARS.

It's a 50 page novel for children aged 8-12, and is a fast-paced sci-fi adventure story about bunnies facing a Martian invasion.

Holly is just a fluffy young bunny. Can she save Planet Earth from invasion by an army of evil Martian rabbits?

Hey, interested? Why not give it a whirl? It's only 77p on Amazon Kindle.

Indigo's new ebook is only available as a Kindle download, though it can be downloaded with Kindle software to any computer and most smart phones.

It's also available in the States.

Indigo Haynes is a young writer of only eight years old. She lives and writes her stories in a farmhouse in Cornwall, England. In 2011, at the age of 7, she was the youngest winner of 'The Tick-Tock Box', a national short story competition at The Guardian newspaper judged by Francesca Simon, author of the Horrid Henry books.
Her short collection of Tudor dog stories, 'How Potatoes Saved the Queen', is Indigo Haynes' first publication. Her second publication is a fast-paced sci fi adventure novel entitled 'Holly and the Rabbits from Mars'.
In her free time, Indigo's hobbies include playing with her naughty Red Setter puppy, constructing mountains of soft toys in her bedroom - which overlooks a field of ponies - and baking cupcakes, preferably the kind with tons of sticky pink icing and sprinkles.

kittens!!!! :)

 Mo here!

Hey guys! We have a kittens! Not 1 but 2 !!! They are potty trained too! Both are girls and sisters,they like to play-fight, hide behind things, sleeping pretty much on top of each other, going outside and annoying our beautiful red setter Daisy (and I bet they have more hobbies than that when we are not around!).

There names are Bobo and Jangles (Becky and Gary named them).
BOBO:
She has a lot of patience. She is happy when you stroke her. Just like Jangles, she is a stripy black and silver tabby with big eyes that we call her 'Princess eyes'. Unlike Jangles, she doesn't mind being picked up and fussed over.
JANGLES:
She is a bit wary of people fussing over her. She is really fast and adventurous, Becky says Jangles will be an amazing mouse hunter when she grows up!

They are only 10 weeks old but very independent and smart already! I love them very much!

Warrior cats

Warrior cats is a few series of books about cats who live in the forest. In the second series, THE NEW PROPHECY, Firestar, ThunderClan's leader, and his mate, Sandstorm, have had children. Squirrelpaw and Leafpaw are their children, and when Brambleclaw has a dream from StarClan, he is destined to journey with four other cats to the sea and meet 'Midnight' a mysterious new character!

When Squirrelpaw hears about this dream, she and Brambleclaw set off with warriors with other Clans to find 'Midnight'. The book is all about their journey, and is the first in the series. I think the book is full of action, vivid description and amazing characters, which makes it one of my favourite books. I also love the book because there is lots of adventure, fun, and it's an amazing world to read about!

You can get the link to the Warrior cats website here.

On the website there are lots of fun and games, as well as a way to buy the books. there are other books in the series such as -





                                                                        Moonrise
                                                                     Dawn

                                                                        Starlight
                                                                       
                                                                          Twilight

                                                                          Sunset
