Monica's Poem

I want to be friends with you till the sun has burnt out and the clouds go purple
If we are friends I will let you use my favourite pencil.

I will give you my love and heart and my last piece of chocolate
I will like you more than Justin Timberlake my favourite popstar.

Monica's new book.

Today Monica met the author Margaret Bateson-Hill at school.

Monica loved meeting her and bought the book Lao Lao of Dragon Mountain which Margaret signed for her.

Monica has already read it cover-to-cover twice. I'll get her to do a review.

The Mum Detective byGwyneth Rees

I've just finished the book 'The Mum Detective'. I really liked the book and I found out how much fun it would be to be a detective.

If I had to give the book a rating out of 10 my rating would be 9. I would give it 9 because the book gets a bit confusing.

The book is about a 12 year old girl called Esmie who wants to be a detective when she grows up. But when Matthew, her 16 year old brother's gilrfriend, Jennifer wanted to find her mother who had left when Jennifer was a little girl things start going wrong!

Other books by Gwyneth Rees ared listed below.

• Mermaid Magic
• Fairy Dust
• Fairy Treasure
• Fairy Dreams
• Cosmo and the Magic Sneeze
• The Mum Hunt
• My Mum's from Planet Pluto

The Mum Detective by Gwyneth Rees

Stella is currently reading...

Synopsis

"You'd make a really good mum detective," Holly said. "One who specializes in finding missing mother."

Esmie is really excited that her dad is getting on so well with Lizzie, his new girlfriend. Lizzie is so nice Esmie sometime even forgets about her real mother, who died when she was a baby.

But then Lizzie starts behaving strangely - saying she's at work when she's not. Esmie plotted for so long to bring her dad and Lizzie together. Could she be about to lose her second mum - before she's even got to know her?

This is a sequel to THE MUM HUNT
