Student Reviews
My Hero Academia by Layla-Rae Y7
The heroes from all over the world go into battle to determine who is ‘the best’ hero of all. My favourite part is where Midoriya fights a girl who pretended that she was their friend. I would give this book five stars out of five and would recommend it as worth reading.
The Company of Ghosts by Eliza Y7
I loved this book and would recommend, I give it five stars. My favourite part of the book is when the main character finds out the secrets of the island, but I won’t reveal the name or tell you anymore as that would spoil a good read.
