7. The Invisible Friend by Louise Arnold 21/01/10

This book was given to me years ago... before it was even published! I managed to acquire a uncorrected proof copy.
I found the book an averagely OK book. It wasn't a book that you couldn't put down, yet there were detailed ideas in it that could fit in well in one of the Harry Potter books! As the book goes on the storyline gets progressively better. However it's not something I would recommend for anyone older than 13 really! Still its a not a bad book and the author of it has dyslexia. I have very mild dyslexia and I think its great that she has managed to write a book and get it published!

Cost of Book: £0 (Given to me as a present)

6. The Clique By Lisi Harrison 30/12/09

This book keeps you intrigued because you can't quite understand why the character Claire Lyons wants to become friends with the nastiest girls in her school! Again this is not a book I would have picked up in a shop and I believe it managed to become part of my collection a few Christmas ago! However, its one of those books where you can't quite believe what the characters are doing and you just have to keep reading. Only trouble is, that it wasn't until the last page I realised it was a series. There are about another 10 books to it and more are being published! Better get reading then!
