James Talks

My Name is James and I am 12. I would like to talk about my favourite series which would be the Wardstone Chronicles by Joseph Delaney.

The first in the series is the Spooks Apprentice, in which farm lad Thomas Ward, who is a seventh son of a seventh son, is apprenticed to the local spook. John Gregory, who is a spook, teaches him to fight the dark and bind boggarts and witches and things that go bump in the night.
He meets a girl called Alice who gives him a basket of cakes to give to the most evil witch in the County, Mother Malkin, although these cakes end up freeing her. How can Tom stop the most evil witch in the County?

I like the way it is written because it sounds freaky and exciting and so it makes me want to keep on reading it. I dont just read these freaky books and have enjoyed reading The Redwall Series and The Lord of the Rings and 2000 leagues under the sea and Horrible Histories series.

Good and Evil in this series is described as dark and light. Although I am a Christian I find it interesting to read what other people thing about Good and Evil.

I like reading because it passes time and it is interesting and it helps with school work. Reading helps me to picture the words in my mind and I like being able to see something that others are not seeing.
