Oliver Fibbs: The Attack of the Alien Brain
Review by Matthew Presland age 10
Oliver Tibbs
is an ordinary boy with extraordinary ideas. He likes reading comics and they
how he thinks. Now he thinks “What if…?”
Oliver tells
his fantastic stories to the class in ‘show and tell’ and I like the way the
author shows these stories in the form of comic strips. I found the book really
fun to read and I found it hard to put down.
I think
Oliver is a likeable character with a unique personality. In his stories the
person he dislikes the most becomes the bad guy. Algy (Oliver’s little brother)
is another great character. He is very intelligent but a little bit cheeky.
The only
thinking that I dislike about this book is that there isn’t much happening
outside Oliver’s stories.
In
conclusion, I think this is an enjoyable book with funny stories and
characters. I recommend the story for 7-9 year olds. I would give it 4 and a
half stars out of 5.
Review by Billy Nuttall age 9
Oliver
Tibbs, or nicknamed Oliver Fibbs, is an ordinary boy with an active
imagination. Every week, Oliver’s class has show and tell. The problem is that
Oliver never does anything exciting on the weekend. So prepare for the
adventures of Dabman! My favourite character is Oliver Tibbs because his
stories are always quite interesting. I like that the stories are in comic book
form. I dislike that it only tells you about his school life and not the rest
of his life. I would recommend this book for children aged between 7 and 10.
I give this
book 4 out of 5 stars.
Well done to Matthew Presland who won February's book review of the month for his excellent Oliver Fibbs: Attack of the Alien Brain review.
Once we had read Oliver Fibbs we created our own comic strips just like Oliver does, take a look at them!
