    The HIVE books by Mark Walden are really good, I’ve been reading them recently.

    I tell everyone to read Flowers for Algernon. It is absolutely fantastic in every way.

    @Xmask They are now saying that it will be released 1st February 2019 but they keep on pushing it back. I mean, come on, we need to know what happens to Absalom.

    There are a lot of very good maths books out there by Simon Singh. Probably the one you’ll be most interested in at the moment is The Code Book, it clearly explains a lot of codes and ciphers very well. Fiction books i really enjoyed were Skulduggery Pleasant and Artemis Fowl

    Secret Breakers series by HL Dennis. It’s a group of kids working with British and American intelligence to try and decrypt an age-old cipher? Sound familiar? The cipher in question, though, is the Voynich Manuscript

    I will recommend “Pour Me” by A.A. Gill and Lord of the Flies by William Golding, 2 brilliant, well written books. The latter has a unprecedented range of vocabulary that even those with degrees in English could not match, and considerable depth to the plot. The former has not much of a massive vocabulary range, but has deep symbolism and complex structural features, and explores some pretty interesting themes.

    I’m at a grade 5 in English…, and at a grade 8/9 in EVERY OTHER subject…
    God I hate English 🙁

    Me before you is a brilliant and emotional book. It will leave you crying at the end! I recommend reading it.

    All Anthony Horowitz books are amazing like the Alex Rider series or The Power of Five series. Also, Holes and Fuzzy Mud by Louis Sachar are really good aswell

    I would recommend the hour long Shakespeare series by Matthew Jenkinson. Cuts out all the boring bits, much easier to put on.
