NO GUN FOR ASMIR
by Christobel Mattingley
my book is called no gun for asmir it is about a boy called asmir and he has nightmares about muris and only wants him to be there and put his arm around him there is a war in his town called sarajevo.He saw his freinds die in front of him and get badly injured he can hear bombs exploding,guns firing around him he can also hear his parents speak in worried voices.
and then one day he is torn from his father,his home and everything he has known he ends up becoming a refugee.
over the past few weeks I have being reading and using a book called Famine and Drought by Sean Connolly which has helped me with my social subjects investigation on the developing world. I noted down some information from the book which helped me alot on famine and drought and i put all the information into my own words. The book was all about famine and drought and children and adults in the developing world with these deseases as they do not have enough food and drink i wouldnt normally read these tyoe of books but they helped me with my social investigation alot.
Deus Ex Machina
by ???
Deus Ex is latin and it means "god from the machine" means that a thing or a person who is very inportant or very strong and wants to save the world. This book is about a super powerful super hero who wants to safe people from a bad goverment who making terrorists go higher and make them to kill everyone who stands in their way. For me this book is about 4 and 5 stars out of 5. It's great book.
25th century of Wrestlemania!
This book is about WWE,WWF,WWWF 25 Wrestlemanias and hall of famers like Koko B Ware, Junkyard Dog, Ted DiBiase, Ahmed Johnson, Legion of Doom and Bruno Samartino, David Samartino, Superstar Billy Graham, Ivan Kilof etc. Every single match is written with a winer and looser. That book is great.
9/10. :)
