Lucas Swaine is a boy who is paitently waiting for his missing dad to come home. He finds an urn of Violet Park and feels sorry for the dead woman so takes her home andf tries to start learning about her. Soon he's not finding out stuff about just Violet, but also the Dad who walked out on him when he was 11, and life just isn't the same.
It's a little bit slow moving at first but when it gets into it, this books pretty cool. It has a cool ending, but I won't spoil it for you. (-:

Luuurve is a many trousered thing
By Louise Rennison
Georgia Nicholson is back with more crazy and worrying antics. Who is Georgia Nicholson? You may remember her from such books as: Angus, thongs and full frontal snogging; It's okay, I'm wearing really big knickers; Knocked out by my nunga-nungas; Dancing in my nuddy-pants; And that's when it fell off in my hand; Then he ate my boy entrancers; and lets not forget- Startled by his furry shorts.
Georgia is a clinically insane 'normal' teenager living in England. in this diary she has accidently gained two boyfriends. 'Love God' Masimo and 'Sex God' Robbie, and there is also Dave the Laugh lurking in the background too. Georgia gets up to all sorts of mischief in this latest book and it gets worse when the ace gang accidently give their German teacher the impression that they are interested in camping.
Naked teachers, crazy plans and some really funny situations all feature in this book. (That's offical review language) I loved it. I was crying from laughter to the point where I wasn't allowed to read while my family where doing important homework, or having conversations simply because my laughter distracted them. I recommend this to anyone having a bad day and is in need of a laugh or just anyone in need of a laugh. It is a work of genius, although you do need the glossary in the back to understand most of it!
Luuurve is a many trousered thing is not for the faint of heart, or for people who like sophistication. For more information on Georgia Nicholson visit www.georgianicolson.com
Thank you and good-bye

Book Review
Guinness World Records 2008
HiT entertainment and Guinness World Records Limited 2007
Once again Guinness World Records release a new volume of marvellous greats for the new calendar year. Records range from Most Votes For A Mr Potato Head in a Political Campaign (page 130) to Fastest Joggling (page 219) which is running a marathon while juggling three objects.
Guinness World Records have been entertaining people for awhile. Answering the questions of the curious and providing an exceptional read when bored. The glow in the dark features especially impressed me!
I recommend Guinness World records to anyone that needs to go fact-finding, wants to look at humorous and sometimes disturbing pictures, or just wants an entertaining read that they can pick up and put down at anytime.
Overall I give the book a rating of 3/5
Guinness World Records 2008 is only a reference book but is available to read at the library at any time in the lunch hour.
