The Flying Fat Lady Keith Falconer
This story was set in a small village with the marvellous moonlight shining over the Big Top Circus tent.There are lots of animals and caravans outside the tent filled with circus characters.
The characters in this story are: A girl called Lily, her dad, her grandma, the Fat Lady, Salome Ooze, Simon Ooze and all the circus acts ( including the animals).
The main events were: Salome fights over the center spotlight for being a trapeze artist while sealing The Fat Lady's act.
The problems were: Lily's grandma wasn't wearing her lucky headband when she fell off the trapeze and died. Salome Ooze takes over the trapeze act from the Fat Lady.
The conclusion is: the Fat Lady becomes a trapeze artist while wearing the magical headband and becomes skinny again and all her weight goes to Salome Ooze.
I liked this book because it is interesting and funny. It's funny because they keep fighting with each other.

Sigmond Slitherforth by Hayley Macduff
I have just finished a book called Simond Slitherforth. it's a crazy, cool book with a snail who has a dream to become as fast as a speedy car zooming at 200 k/m a hour.
Every day he slithers away outside without telling his Mum or Dad. When he races out of the house he always tries to race with cars, but fails. He once overtook a slug but that wasn't much of an
achievment.
Finally he comes back home exausted from all the racing and expects a growling from his Mum or Dad.
But this time it wasn't any ordinary growling he actually got abandoned from his home!
The following day Sigmond wondered off sympathetically searching for a place to stay. A few moments later.... Sigmond eyes watered delightfully as he saw his place, he was just dying to see inside?
As he entered the teeny, tiny shed he met a slater. Sigmond badly needed help so he asked the slater if he can can help him? The slater thought and he had a solution!
He showed Sigmond some four star motor oil for cars? One dive in this and Sigmond would travel at double the speed of sound! Sigmond bombed into the oil with excitement seconds later.... Sigmond jumed out like a cheerful, cheetah.WHOOO! He screamed! Then he zoomed off with a flash!
He then slithered to his old home and wrote goodbye Mum and Dad, I told you I could do it! On the hedge. The following day he got a job at NASA! They really needed a snail like him and then he flew off in a fancy space shuttle. Then not far from Mars he wrote one more thing. Love You, to all the other snails and goodbye once more.
