Diary of a Wimpy Kid Rodrick Rules
Diary of a wimpy Rodrick rules is the 2nd wimpy kid book in the series. This is yet another year for Gregg Hefley an average student, writing in his diary which he calls a journal. This novel is full of great exciting fun, and is a really good read. Read as you find out about some of Greggs wacky adventures. First off the book starts in the summer holidays right before Gregg has to go back to school. Throughout the summer his dad takes him to swimming lessons because Gregg isn’t very athletic or strong. His dad thinks he might have a swimmers build for a body. But Gregg hates the swimming. At the start of a race the man judging the race fires a gun but Gregg thought it had real bullets in it. So Gregg jumped straight to the bottom of the pool and stayed there. Of course the gun only had blanks in it of course. Gregg got fed up with swimming pretty quickly because they could only use 2 lanes so there was always someone on Gregg’s tale trying to pass him. The reason they had to use 2 lanes because the swimming lesson was at the same time as jazz fitness in the pool. Gregg hated swimming so he just swam a few lengths asked the coach if he could go toilet and then just hide out there. But the toilets were freezing so Gregg had to wrap himself up in toilet paper to stay warm. I rate this book 10/10, a great, exciting, funny read. I recommend this book to everyone.

Goalkeeping The specialist (Part 1)
Goalkeeping the specialist by David Coles is a book pacifically for goalkeepers. The book talks about the coach and player. The first chapter talks about the roles of the goalkeeping coach and goalkeeper. There is a lot of information for coaches for training keepers. For example if the keeper is young the coach needs to know that that goalkeeper is growing and their bones are developing. The coach needs to be teaching the goalkeeper the correct techniques because if the goalkeeper has poor technique it could affect their bones growing and damage other body parts. The coach also needs to know that bones develop at different rates to puberty. The coach needs to know that younger goalkeepers will have a shorter attention span especially in growth spurts. This means the coach may have to re-show the keeper techniques. The book also talks about the qualities you need to be a goalkeeper. The essential qualities for a goalkeeper are: personality, technical ability, tactical intelligence, mental and physical strength, belief and confidence in personal ability. The necessary physical qualities are: Height, reflexes and agility, speed of movement and balance of co-ordination. Overall it is a good book and I rate it 7/10 and recommend it for all young goalkeepers.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Diary of a Wimpy Kid written by Jeff Kinney is a great novel. The main characters name is Gregg Hefley, he is basically unpopular loser but he thinks he is great and going to be famous. Gregg’s best friend Rowley Jefferson is also unpopular and not very intelligent. Rowley looks up to Jeff perhaps as a mentor or older brother. The book is about Gregg’s life and what happens to him. There are currently 5 Wimpy Kid books excluding the Movie Diary. Although Gregg is unpopular and a loser, he is also easily relatable, during the book he shows an array of different emotions and actions. One experience of Gregg’s and practically the whole school was the cheese touch. The cheese touch is basically a touch that you get from touching the mouldy piece of cheese on the basketball court. The cheese touch can be passed on to other people by touching them. But to stop getting the cheese touch you must cross your fingers. Gregg had to tape his fingers together to avoid getting the cheese touch. “I ended up taping mine together so they’d stay crossed all time. I got a D in handwriting, but it was totally worth it.” I highly recommend the diary of a Wimpy Kid, and rate the book 10/10. It has been one of my favourite books to read so far. If you were to read the Wimpy Kid books I would highly recommend reading them in order.

Roger and Lily were great friends and had always wanted to go on an adventure. But little did Lily know Roger had a big secret that Lily didn’t know of. Roger had kept it from Lily all their lives. Roger was thinking to tell Lily after their adventure…..
