was that it gets quite confusing in the middle of

liked the main character, the girl, Vanda. She’s

B Don’t Talk To Me
This is an unusual book about a young boy who
doesn’t want to speak to anyone, especially his
parents. He hasn’t been able to speak since he was
twelve when he had an accident on his bike, and

the doctors can’t understand why he doesn’t speak

anymore. But there is one person who can
communicate with him and it is his much younger
sister, Sophie, who’s only three. She follows him
everywhere and chats to him all the time without
expecting a response. When he gets angry with
her, she just smiles and hugs him. She becomes an
expert at reading his body language. She uses her
simple love and child’s view of the world to help
him recover where doctors had failed. I cried over
this story, but it’s an amazing novel about family
love.

C Not Again!
I’ve read the first three books in this science-
fiction series and really loved them, but this one is
not as good as the first three. The two main
characters are robots and have not been given a
personality. It was impossible to like them. The
human characters don’t appear till more than
halfway through the book. There is too much
scientific explanation at the beginning, which is
boring and impossible to understand for anyone
who doesn’t like science. I don’t know why the
author decided to change his style with this one
and I think a lot of fans will be disappointed.
