Linda Buckley Archer, is the Author of the book,  "Gideon the Cutpurse" I have to say that i thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Sally Nicholls has written the book "Ways to live forever" I Think the book has to be one of the saddest i've read before. I was in tears for most of the book, and i dont cry for books or films or any of it!
  Sam is an ordinary 11 year old boy, but he has leukaemia. Sam loves facts Sam's questions are things like, “Why does God make kids get ill?” and “Does it hurt to die?” and he tries to answer them with the assistance of his fellow leukaemia sufferer and friend, Felix. The book also illuminates how his illness affects his family's relationships both with him and with each other.


It's very easy to read (in the main - some of the more painful parts are harder) and it's done with a very light touch.

Be warned, this is a very sad but touching story, one that may not be easy to read due to its sad story line!

Kate thompson has written the book, "The new Policeman"  The book is set in Ireland, dont be dishearted yet, i know not much happens in Ireland, but you might jsut be wrong;
  There never seems to be enough time in Kinvara, or anywhere else in Ireland for that matter. When J.J.'s mother says that what she really wants for her birthday is more time in her day, J.J. decides to find her some. But how can he find time for her, when he barely has enough time to keep up with school and his music? And where will he get time to find out if the shocking rumor is true—that his great-grandfather was a murderer?


It seems as though J.J.'s given himself an impossible task. But then a neighbor reveals a secret to him—there is a place where time stands still. J.J. realizes he's the only person who can make the journey, but to do so he'll have to vanish from his own life.

And when J.J. disappears from the village, enter the new policeman. . . .

  I do have to sya though, that this book was good, but you might not get into it as easily as the other books. It does have a boring side to it, but once you finish it you can decide if its good or not!:)

She loses, finds the camera, and trips on the stairs. The bump on her head takes away her memories of the past four years. She no longer remembers Will, her parents' divorce, body changes since the 6th grade, her boyfriend, or her likes/dislikes as a teen.


Along the way she and her boyfriend Ace break up and she connects with the boy who found her on the steps and rode with her to the hospital. His own dark past and journey in self-discovery help jump-start a romance between them. Once Naomi reevaluates who she is, she makes important changes involving meaningful relationships in her life.
