Review:
This jaw dropping book tells you about a girl named Olivia who is 11 years old. Due to her mother hating the brother, sister and her they got moved into foster care and are hoping to find a safe place for them to live.

It has chapters about the past houses she has lived at. The book shares with you her traumatising life.

The main topic in the story is about her 16th home. But will she get thrown out on her own will or will the past come back to haunt her and make sure she gets thrown out.

Excerpt: 
" I can smell cigarette and alcohol and can hear some laughing at me but there is no one there"

(Optional - Give a brief review of the book)

This book is about a boy named will his father died when he was 2 years old. In this book he is figuring out why his father died.

 Of course his mother has told him the story about his fathers death. Will knew that the mum was lying because every time his father was mentioned everybody was sad.

Will knew it wasn't the truth so in the story will is trying to find out what really happened.

Review:
It is about a boy named Harry. And he loves his grandfathers stories about the past in the war time. So Harry records every bit of the story that his grandpa tells. But then Harry's father died in the war as well. But nobody knew how. they don't know if he was shot or anything. Then later on Harry gets into trouble for nothing he didn't do. And he didn't want to get into trouble so he declined a war.
Excerpt: 
"Malaya sir. He got left behind when the Japs invaded. He lived in the jungle with other soldiers. They call them guerrillas. That's not the beat - your - chest - King - Kong gorillas, but......"

"Thank you Harry; I know what kind of guerrillas you mean."
