Blurb When someone clicks there fingers the principle turns into captain underpants. The book is about 2 boys who make heaps of attacking toilets they made them.

So the toilets turned real so they had to fight them with the help of CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS.

The 52 Storey Tree House 40 BC

Title: The 52 Storey Tree House

Author: Andy Griffiths

Illustrator: Terry Denton

Rating: 4/5

Blurb :
There were two boys.  One called Andy and one called Terry.  They went on an adventure to save Jill.  Jill is one of their friends.  They had to save Jill because she pricked her finger on a carrot!
Just like in the fairy tales, Jill needs to get a kiss from a handsome Prince to save her life and wake up.  So Andy and Terry put Jill into a glass box and carried her up a massive hill to the vegetable kingdom so the Prince could kiss her.
The Prince kissed Jill and she woke up.  Unfortunately for Jill, Andy and Terry, they were caught by the vegetable people who grabbed them by the arms and put them into a pot to make vegetable soup!  Luckily they escaped because Vegetable Patty saved the day.
I really liked this book.

Blurb:

The story is written of a young girl named Sydney, who lives with her older sister Jade and her mum, Amy. Their family is mostly normal apart from the fact that Amy was born with a condition called dwarfism, which means that she got to the height of 4ft then stopped growing altogether. Her deceased husband also had dwarfism so when Amy gave birth to two average-sized daughters, lots of people were sceptical about whether she could take care of them adequately.
