Doubting Thomas

Hi.
Today I am reviewing Doubting Thomas by Morris Gleitzman.
It is a book about a boy in Australia who has nipples that itch whenever someone lies. He soon finds out that the problem with his nipples could lead to his death.
This is a truly gripping book and I couldn't put it down.
This book is a medium sized book with 178 pages.
It starts off in Australia but ends up in Paris.
My favourite part of the book was when Monsieur Poulet(the husband of someone who Thomas and his friends went to look for) said "Bottom plops! That is the only English swear word I know!" Then one of Thomas's friend offered to write some down for him!
This is an extremly enjoyable book which I recommend to 7-10 year olds.

Dork Diaries Party Time

This book is a bit like the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. Both are very good, but I probably like Dork Diaries best. I like it because it’s more emotional and the pictures are better. Like Diary of a Wimpy Kid, the main characters are girls. It is the diary of a girl called Nikki and she is American.
Dork Diaries has the same font as Diary of a Wimpy Kid, but it has more detailed pictures. I like these pictures better because of that.
The book is about Nikki and her school Halloween party. She gets into a bit of a pickle because she is supposed to be entertaining the younger children, dancing with her friends Chloe and Zoey AND hanging out with her crush, Brandon at the same time.
