Book Reveiw On Kat Got Your Tounge

Kat Got Your Tounge by Lee Weatherly

A girl wakes up and she doesn't know who she is. "You're Cathy!" they tell her, but the girl doesn't have a clue who Cathy is, let alone why they're telling her that she is Cathy. But the girl is Cathy, she has amnesia and can't remember a thing about her old life. On returning to school Cathy's 'friends' seem to despise her for some awful reason...a reason that nobody will tell her.

I've read many books by Lee Weatherly and this one is one of the most intriging ones. It tells the story of Cathy, a girl who is in an accident and has amnesia. Each chapter alternates between Cathy now and the diary of the old Cathy, before she had amnesia. This affective chapter formation shows the change as Cathy begins to discover her old life, and why her so called friends hate her with a passion.

In the book you follow the realization from Cathys perspective, and you begin to realize that friends aren't always what they're made out to be.

Lee Weatherly tells the tale in a way that makes you never want to put the book down, and you have to find out what happens. She also makes what would be a sad and hard to tell subject into a breath-taking book that doesn't cast an air of gloom over the whole story.

I would recomend this book for 10+ and I give it 3 1/2 stars. Once you've read it, which I really recomend, you will think 'wow, if I only I could write like that'.

The House Of Night Series

The House of Night Series by P.C and Kristin Cast

When Zoey is marked by the tracker she knows her old life is over. Now she must go the House of Night, a school for vampires where Zoey will study 'Vampire 101'. She will undergoe changes that, if they fail, will result in her death. Throughout the books you follow Zoey and discover that not everyone is who they say they are and the people you trust the most can be the worst people on the earth.

This is an adrenaline pumping, fast series with the whole dark romance genre. But STOP. They are not like Twilight or Dracula...they are actually REALLY different. The series covers love, thrills, vampires, secrecy and tricks you into thinking stuff that isn't true!

I will say now that the House of Night books are definatley for OLDER READERS and probably at least 11+. Its not as nicey nicey and happy happy as other books but isn't really gory and scary. I would definatley recomend it though for anyone, especially those who think all vampire books nowadays are just Twilight copiers. They're not, and I really think you shoudl give it a go!!!

The Cat Royal Books

The Cat Royal Series written by Julia Golding.

In Drury Lane Theatre, London, 18th century Britain lives Cat Royal. Found as a baby onm the theatre steps and presumed an orphan she grows up in the theatre and loves the theatre life. The books follow her story from a diamond mystery, a protest for her dear friend Pedro, a trip to France asd a ballet dancing spy, a time spent in the navy, becoming a 'pirate' in Jamacia and in the most recent book a hunt to find her real family.

I first got into these books a few years back, and so far there are 6 books in the series. They are a series of page-turning tales that envolve adventure, mystery, slight romance and its all set in 18th century London.

It's set in the unique style of a playscript. No, not the characters name and a : whenever anyone speaks, but each book starts with the words Curtain Rises and finishes with the words Curtain Falls. The chapter headings are all scene titles, e.g Act Three Scene 2: In which Cat loses her head... and so on.

I seriously recomend this to about the age 8 or 9+ and it is very easy reading, so you can just realx into the story! Also check out Julia Golding's fab website which has Q&A with the characters from the book. I give this series 4 stars and would recomend it to anyone, boys and girls, young and old.
