Hello fellow readers! It's me, Abby Bronte and today I've got loads to tell you :)
First thing is... I went to Sue Hampton's book signing at her house and I bought two books. One was called, 'Just for one day', and the other was called 'Traces'. Check out Sue Hampton and buy her books, they are awesome!!
Secondly, Jacqueline Wilson has published the third book in the Hetty Feather series. The book is called, 'Emerald Star' and I will give you the link at the bottom of the page if you wish to buy it.
Now time for Book and Author of the week, which are... Alice.B.Lovely and John Boyne!
Alice.B.Lovely is a book I read quite recently. This book is about a girl called Edie, who doesn't think she needs a nanny and wishes her parents would just let her look after herself.
Edie also has a LOT of problems. Her mum and dad are split up but still keep fighting, she
keeps getting angry with everyone and feels really down.
But then comes along the new nanny; Alice.B.Lovely. She is a mysterious and magical sixteen year old girl who Edie grows to like. Everything is suddenly starting to look much more exciting...
But is Alice.B.Lovely the person everyone thinks she is? Find out!! This book is written by Karen McCombie.
John Boyne is the author of 'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas'. He has written three novels for children, and and eight for adults. He has won various awards for his literacy skills and is now very well known.
Some of you may have seen the movie of 'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas'. It is a book that touches many hearts around the globe.
Character Profiles:
Name: Joe Wright (From, 'Just for one day')
Age: 12
Hobbies: Cricket, writing poems and looking after his hamster.
Favourite Person in the world: Dad and cousin, Rachel
Also likes: Going to dance club
Dislikes: Mark Hansome
I wanted to tell all of you about a fantastic magazine I found. The magazine is called Wordsmith and is all about writing. It has poems, short stories, puzzles, cool competitions and loads more packed inside it. Children and teens are encouraged to send their own literacy works to be put in the magazine.
My parents bought me a subscription to the magazine, and it is really interesting. Hope you can check it out!!

EAT- Epic and Terrific
Hello! Sorry about not posting earlier; school has made my life slightly busy. Tee hee :D
As you know, the last post was a special edition because it was Readalot's 1st Birthday. I think Readalot liked its little birthday surprise, and hopefully you did too!
In fact, recently, it was MY birthday!!
My birthday was on the 13th of September, and I had a lovely time. I got lots of wonderful presents, but my favourites were:
A new phone
A new bed
A kindle!
I also got these cool new items from Waterstone's called, 'Story Cubes'. Story cubes are cubes and they have lots of little pictures on them instead of numbers. You roll the cubes, and see what pictures you get. Then you can begin a story, using the things on the cubes to help you with ideas.
Anyway, I'm rambling! Book and Author of the week are... Back Home and John Grisham!
I don't think I'd have read Back Home if it wasn't for my teacher. In class, we've been looking a lot at story genres. Our teacher got some books from the library and read the opening of each to show us all the different ways of writing.
She read the opening of Back Home, and it caught my attention. So I asked, "Will that book be in the library if someone wanted to read it?". And she nodded.
After lunch I came back to my desk to find Back Home sitting there. I smiled, sometimes teachers were the best!
Back Home is set at war time, and is very touching. The main character is a girl called Virginia, but everyone calls her Rusty because of her long ginger hair.
The long and sad war has ended, and Rusty is coming back to England after being evacuated to America for five years.
At first, everything is well... terrible.
Her little brother seems to hate her, her mum is never around and doesn't talk much either, and worst of all, she has to attend a strict and mean boarding school.
Will Rusty ever fit in to the English ways? And will people stop pestering her about having an American accent and using slang?
Find out in... Back Home! By the way, Back Home is written by the same person who wrote, Goodnight Mister Tom. The author is called: Michelle Magorian.
John Grisham is a famous crime writer. He writes fantastic mysteries, usually for adults. But when I was at Waterstone's, I found an interesting children's book written by him.
He has written loads and loads of books. So many, I think the list would take up this whole post's space! He is the writer of the Artemis Fowl series and the Theodore Boone series.
Check him out!!!!
Character Profile:
Name: Rusty (From Back Home)
Age: 12
Personality: Courageous, confident, creative and reliable.
Looks: Ginger hair, pale skin, blue eyes and slim.
Hobbies: Drawing, listening to music, fixing things and rowing boats.
Best Possessions: Letters from her friends in America.
I am now going to reveal who won the Readalot Writing Competition 2012.
In 3rd place is... Filippo Ali!
In 2nd place is... Ella Ainscough!
And in 1st place is... Elisabeth Hamilton, the Readalot Writing Competition 2012 Winner!!
Next time, I will be telling you why these awesome people got the top places in the competition. But for now...
See ya next time! Lots of love, Abigail Bronte xoxo

Keep Calm And... READ A LOT!
It's summer!!!! Sorry I haven't blogged much! I went to Suffolk and stayed in a beautiful cottage with my family. I also swam in the sea, cool, right?
Have you completed any of the Summer To-Do List yet? Well, even if you haven't, keep on trying! :)
Now, time for: Book and Author of the week. And they are... Four Children And It and Noel Streatfield!
The Four Children And It is the newest Jacqueline Wilson novel. This story is about four children who discover a sand fairy who can grant wishes.
Of course, the four kids get very excited. Their wishes might come true, but they all seem to be going a bit wrong.
I suppose the motto might be: Be careful what you wish for.
The Four Children And It is a summer must-have! I rate it five stars, it's one of Jacky Wilson's best books ever.
Her book is a tribute to E. Nesbit's; 'Five Children And It'. It's an interesting modern version.
Noel Streatfeild was a greatly famous and fantastic author. She wrote lots of classics which everybody still loves now. Probably her best known book is, Ballet Shoes. She has written many 'shoes' books. Such as: Circus Shoes, Tennis Shoes and White Boots.
I wonder what other kind of books she could have written... Fashion Shoes? Spotty Shoes? Electronic Shoes? What are your crazy and cool ideas?
Character Profile:
Name: Eel (From Lyn Gardner's, 'Olivia' series).
Personality: Energetic, funny, bubbly and caring.
Family: Jack (her Dad), Alicia (Grandmother and head of Swan Academy), Alfie (her cousin) and Olivia (her older sister).
Hobbies: Dancing, watching west end shows and being with her friends and family.
When she grows up, she will most likely be: A dancer
This letter is for Rosalind. Rosalind tells the story of, 'The Four Children And It'.
Dear Rosalind,
I'm Abigail Bronte. I've heard all about your summer holiday adventures with Smash, Robbie and Maudie.
Was the Psammead scary? (By the way readers, Psammead is pronounced: Sammyadd, it's a sand fairy!). He sounded a bit grumpy but kind as well.
Which wish was your favourite? I think everyone's wishes were unique. I loved when you were all rich and famous. And when Robbie's animals came alive and you met up with story characters.
Your dad must have been so surprised that you kept wanting to go to Oxshott Woods!
Was it annoying when all the nusery rhyme people kept singing the same tunes over and over again in Maudie's wish?
I think your last wish was the most significant though.
Lots of love, Abigail Bronte xoxo
P.S: The next post will be on the 28th and will be Readalot's 1st Birthday Edition.
See ya there!

Have Fun In The Sun
Greetings everyone! I thought you all deserved a blog post before Summer officially starts. :)
Ok, Book and Author of the week are... Pea's Book of Best Friends and Coco Simon!
Pea's Book of Best Friends is about a girl named Pea who moves to London with her family. Sometimes life can get rather hetic though! And, who will Pea's new best friend be? Also, will her journey to find a best friend be harder than it sounds?
This book is fabulous! I finished it two days (I know, fast!) because it's so good! If you like imaginative, fun and unique books, you will LOVE this!!
Coco Simon is the author of the Cupcake Diaries series. She loves baking and cooking and has always wanted to have her own cupcake bakery but it seems she might eat everything... so she decided not to! The Cupcake Diaries are about four girls who enter middle school, a bit lost. Then they met each other and form a club so they can feel free, relax and make middle school feel slightly easier.
Character Profile:
Name: Daisy (From Jaqueline Wilson's 'Sleepovers')
Looks: Long brown hair, usually in plaits
Likes: Emily (her friend), sleepovers and teddy bears.
Personality: Loyal, funny, shy and smiley.
Things To Do Before Summer Is Over:

Lots & Lots!
Hiya! Today I've got loads to say...
Well, the first thing is that I've created a Readalot anthem, here goes:
We will, we will, Read a lot, read a lot (Repeat).
You've got a book in your face, no disgrace. Tossing your books all over the place! Singing...
We will, we will, read a lot, read a lot! (Repeat)
(Apologies to the band, Queen).
Anyway, Book and Author of the week are... The Twins at St Clares and Holly Webb!
The Twins at St Clares is the first St Clare book in the series. Enid Blyton wrote four in her series but sadly passed away. So like with the Malory Towers series, Pamela Cox carried them on. Ok, back to the book.
The book is all about two twin sisters who are rather spoilt and stuck up. Their parents send them to a boarding school called St Clares. They are not happy and don't want to go there. But soon they realise that St Clares well... rocks! They learn not to be horrid and on the the way, they get up to lots of
exciting games and feasts and trouble! Below are the O' Sullivan twins!
Holly Webb is a fantastic writer that has written many books. One of her books is called 'Rose' and is based on magic and adventure. Webb is not just gripping, but a real writer. You may be thinking, "What?! We already know she's a real writer!". I don't mean it like that though.
To me, a real writer is someone who can make kids stop... close their eyes and imagine being in the book or another world.
And she is a really writer in every single way :)
Character Profile:
Name: Mr Stink
Which book are they from: Mr Stink
Age: Er... sorry, I don't think it is in the book!
Looks: Short hair, tweed jacket
If stranded on a desert island, would bring: Duchess, his dog.
The Big Truth about them: He stinks, real bad. Like a huge pong.
Yay! I want to say "thank you" because I now have six followers! Thanks everyone, it means a lot.
Readalot Update:
Guess what?! Guess what?! Guess what?! In like, one month, it will be Readalot's first birthday! EEK! I'll have to think about a birthday edition now...

Back Again ^.^
Hello everyone! It's been a while so I'll tell you what I've done recently.
1. I have been singing a lot of Sound Of Music songs
2. I've been worrying that my writing competition will have to be cancelled, because I don't think I gave everyone enough time and I don't want to be unfair. Thanks if you have entered by the way :)
3. And I am thinking of writing a story soon...
Ok, now it's time for Book and Author of the week. They are... Summer's Dream and Helen Peters!
Summer's Dream is in the Chocolate Box Girls Series by Cathy Cassidy. Summer is a perfectionist. Her life is fantastic. She is pretty, has friends, is a good dancer... But when a big oppurtunity comes up that could change her life forever, she has to work for it. Will Summer put dance before danger? Find out in Summer's Dream!! Check out the book if you are interested: http://tinyurl.com/84fmco9
Helen Peters is wonderful. She wrote one of my favourite books which is called: The Secret Hen House Theatre. The way she writes makes me want to read on, excited. If you read her books, she'll excite you too.
