Book Review:the welkin weasles
Book review: The Welkin Weasels
A book by Garry kilworth
The Welkin Weasels is a fantasy book. It is sort of like the Hobbit except the characters are mostly woodland creatures. The character I know so far is Sylver, the main character,Prince Poynt, Falshed the sheriff, and a stoat/ weasel army. The story takes place in an island that has been ruled by stoats, weasels (maybe ferrets), moving statues and other things since the humans left.
Sylver’s band of weasels are trying to find the humans because the wall keeping the sea away from the island was about to break. The wall is important to the creatures because if it weren't there, the island would be flooded. Then you would ask, “Why do they need the humans?”. The humans are the only ones who can fix the wall but Prince Poynt doesn't want the humans to come back because he will lose all his power and he will never taste the wonderful taste of cooked food again. They learned how to cook when the humans left.
My favourite part of the story is when the weasels caught Falshed, tied him to a pole, stuck it on a raft, and made him sail away. I would rate it nine years and over because it’s an incredible book with magic but not so much comedy. It’s a very good and I think everyone should read it.I would like to hear your say of the book.

Book Review: The Hobbit
Book review:
by:J.R.R. Tolkien
The Hobbit first takes place a little hobbit hole were hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, the star of the story, lives. An unexpected party comes along which has 13 Dwarves, Dwalin, Balin, Fili, Kili, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Dori, Ori. Nori,Oin,Gloin, and the most important Dwarf, Thorin, along with the amazing wizard,Gandalf.
They plan to kill the evil dragon Smaug and try to take back Erebor but, the journey is full of obstacles and paths which could lead the right way or sudden death.
If you are interested in fantasy books, then this is definitely the book for you, if not, you should read it anyway. This book definitely makes you feel that you're their because the story is so amazing and it feels like actually happened. I love how they described the journey and how they wasted the trolls’ time so they could freeze.

Lawson:writing sample T.3-7
It is afternoon. I am riding a mini-bike on a dirt track.
My dad is next to me, he seems quite calm, but still watching like a hawk. I’m doing a jump over a slightly small bump. I hope I land. I’m riding the mini-bike for practice to get through to the mini-bike championship. I hope I go to the championship.
I can hear the motor running,vrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm! My adrenalin is racing across my body. I smell the rough stench of dead soil that has been ripped off the ground. I hear another motor from the distance, it’s my friend, Jens. I can almost taste the burning rubber from my tyre. I hope I can take my helmet off after the practice because I’m sweating like a waterfall.
Some people think riding any type of bike that’s similar to a motor-bike is dangerous and some people say that they’ve ridden a motor-bike but they haven't, they just want to impress their friends, but I want to ride one because I think it would be fun.
