Deltora-book review
Deltora is a series of fantasy books about a land struggling to gain back control over an evil tyrant,the Shadow Lord.There is only one weapon against him,which is the Belt of Deltora,made up of seven gemstones,each from a tribe of Deltora,and each with its own magical power.However,only the heirs of the first king of Deltora,which was a blacksmith who created the Belt,could wear and use it.One day,the Shadow Lord destroyed the Belt and scattered the gems all over the land in dangerous places.This destroyed Deltora,and he took control over it.
Lief is the young heir,and he sets out with a palace guard and a young girl he meets on his travels,Jasmine to find all the gems and repair the belt to fight the Shadow Lord.He meets many enchanted monsters,but helps them all and makes many friends with people of the different tribes of Deltora.And finally,with the last gem in place,he defeated the Shadow Lord and became King of Deltora.
This book has tuaght me about bravery,and true friendship.Lief and his companions showed true bravery when they went to the dangerous places to find the gems,with the only thought of saving Deltora and their people in their minds.Also,they displayed true friendship when they risked their lives for one another.It is an interesting book,with many riddles that Lief has to solve,and finally when they defeat the Shadow Lord,it is a climxing battle and ending.

Crushing on You-book review
This book is about a girl,Shauna Philips and how she falls for her Mathematics tutor,Chad while she was dating the football team's star,Tommy.At first, she is swept away by Tommy's good looks and how his popularity made her a celebrity in her school.However,she realises that he is only taking her for granted and does not have any interest in her life,unlike Chad.She soon makes the decision to date Chad instead,and finds out that she is much happier with him.
This book teaches me that looks are not all that count in life.Good looks do not gurantee a perfect life or perfect person as he or she might not have a personality to match.We should give other average people a chance in life,and might even discover they are really fun to be with!
