 * Reading In Kahu 2 ||   ||
 * This year so far in Kahu 2 have been reading the novel Holes by Louis Sachar. Over the period 7-9 weeks we had to read the book. The book itself was about a boy called Stanley who is accused of stealing a pair of famous shoes. These shoes belonged to a famous basketball player. When in court Stanley faces the decision whether to go to jail, to pay for his crime which he has been unfairly accused of, or go to Camp Green Lake. Stanley naturally not wanting to go to jail, chooses Camp Green Lake. When he gets there he realises its not a lake at all but the complete opposite, a very dry desert. The campers have to live on very little water, and dig holes five foot deep and five foot wide in every direction each day. Stanley embarks on a tired thrilling scary thirsty journey, to prove he is not guilty. || [[image:Screen Shot 2013-06-17 at 2.34.16 PM.png width="179" height="283" align="center"]] ||
 * Book Reviews
 * **Then**
 * By Morris Gleitzman**

One of my favourite books is Then by Morris Gletzman. The book is told by a boy called Felix, who is a Jewish orphan, in World War 2. This book is book two out of the series of four. The book also includes a girl called Zelda. Felix saved Zelda's life when she was in a burning building. The book starts with Felix and Zelda having just escaped a train, going to a death camp. As the two trudge threw a forest trying to find food and shelter, they met a kind woman called Genia. Genia takes them into her house to protect them from the Nazis.

The story revolves around the Zeldas caring heart, Genia's kindness, and Felix's strength as they try to stay undercover. Please be prepared for a very sad ending if you read this book. I'm sure your heart will be touched, and Felix will live in your heart forever.

 * By J.K Rowling**

This is the third book of the Harry Potter series. In the third book Harry is 13 and back at Hogwarts, this time knowing that a murderer called Sirius Black, is out to kill him. This year Ron and Hermione are at his side, and there is a new defence against the dark arts teacher, plus what secrets are Hagrid keeping, and will Harry find out more about his parents death? A thrilling tale for all ages.

 * **Never bite a boy on your first date**
 * By Tamara Summers**

I know, I know, this book sounds like who of those tween-teen vampire love stories. And maybe it is, but I must say, this book is one of my favourites!

This book is a mystery, romance, where Kira (vampire) goes on an investigation to find out who the other vampire in town is and prove to her vampire parents that she didn’t bite him. She investigates three teenage boys from her school. This is where the romance comes in! ;) While investigating these boys she discovers their secrets and more but this still doesn’t make any sense.... She looks at the past and the present, while putting two and two together and eventually works out the secret of the murderer and his mischievous ways.

Could it be Rowan, the creepy poetry writer lurking around in the dark? Daniel the investigater who was caught out at school in the middle of the night? Or maybe it was Milo the swimmer, with the cute smile? Is it really one of them, or is there someone else creeping into this mysterious adventure? I guess you will just have to read it to find out!

At the start of the book the answer may seem obvious, but is it true? After reading this book you will be indulged in the vampire world, and grateful that you aren’t one. Fall in love with the personalities of the main characters, and be gobsmacked with the totally unexpected yet interesting ending. I hope I haven’t given too much information, but if you want more, head to the library and check out if “Never bite a boy on the first date” is available at the moment.
