I have just read two short books the first one was 'The Island' which was pretty good exept the ending. it was about a small group of friends and one little brother who are home alone and decide to take the tiny out for a paddle (because the live on the coast). the little brother had wanted to go out to an island a few km of shore so they set out for the Island. the hav 2 much trouble getting out there so the turn back for the shore but the keep going out. they get beached on the island after the capsize the tiny and hitting the rocks. after they recover they all find eachother exept one person who had decided to swim back so they all went aswell and that when the book ended and i didnt like this because it didnt say if they got home or if the found their friend or not the second book i read was called 'Drean on Bali Rai' which was a much better book. it was about an Indian boy who loved his soccer but whos dad wanted him top get a good education and work at their fish n chips shop. he had to sneak out of his house and lie to his parents so he could play a trial game. he was so good that he was invited to play for the juniour side of his favourite leage team. his parents find out and help him with his dream. the first book was not so good but the second "Dream on Bali Rai' was much better cheers untill next time Turdz
