Title:Sisterhood of the Travelling pants is written by Ann Brashares.

Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants is my favourite book because it is an emotionally inspiring book and I absolutely love it!
I felt as if the characters truly existed and the author adapted a wonderful power to give each character its own individual personality in extreme detail.These are only some of the reasons why I love this book so much.

Hi!!!
My favourite book is Captain Underpants. It is funny, cartoon and it has flip-o-rama (where you flip the pages forwards and backwards until you see cartoons made from two pictures). My favourite story is Captain Underpants and the Perelios Plot of the Purple Potty People, everything is the opposite when two boys and their hero Captain Underpants go through a warp too many times!!! Those are some of the facts to tell you why I like Captain Underpants. From Li Ming Teo 7CK. =)

My favourite book is 'The Girl Who Cried Monster' by R.L.Stine. I like it because it has a good story line and it made me think. It is spooky in some places and gross as well. I would give it an 8/10.

My favourite book is The Blue Roan Child. It is filled with suspension, action, mysteries and horses and because I love horses it's interesting. I have read it countless times and it never wears off. New surprises keep appearing and each time I read it I discover something to help me understand it better. Once I have picked it up, I just cannot put it down.

My favourite book of all time would have to be 'Eragon' by Christopher Paolini. I brought this book when I was in a bookstore in Pukekohe looking for a summer read. Itis my favourite book because as I read it, it drew me into the story and i could imagine myself as Eragon. I could imagine that I was going on all the journeys. When Eragon cried, i cried. When Brom died I cried again. And when they announced that a sequel was coming out -Eldest- i was so happy that the adventure would continue for me and my imagination. I have re-read this story so many times. (sorry this is more than 50 words but it is a good story)

My favourite book would have to be "Z for Zachariah" as it was a really interesting book, filled with surprises and twists. I liked how it went from the present to the past. It left me thinking, wondering what would happen to Ann. Whether she would find another valley with life in it, or would mankind die out

My favourite book would most definitely have to be Z for Zacharia by that guy because It always had me thinking about what would happen next. Every chapter left me with mystery and questions in my head about what was going to happen next. Also its the one of the only WHOLE books i've read in my entire life!

My absolute favourite book of all time(and ive read alot of books) would most definatly have to be "The Raging Quiet" by Sherryl Jordan.
Its set in the medievil times were they believed in witchs. When Marnie moves to a hillside village where she meets the village maniac called Raver. Marnie later descovers that Raver is deaf. When she tells the townfolk no one will believe her.She makes up sign language with him so the townfolk start to think shes a witch and start shunning her...So i cant tell you anymore otherwise that will ruin the surprise...
