Lewis’s book review
I know what you did last Wednesday
Nine people are invited to a school reunion. Tim and Nick are amongst them. The reunion is hosted on a remote Scottish island. The author describes the island well.
Tim is the stupidest detective in the world! He is a young adult and is kind. Nick is Tim’s little brother. He is a smart 14-year-old boy.
Eric Draper is a prefect at school. He comes first in history and is very smart. Janet Rhodes is best at French at school. Rory McDougal comes first in maths and is the host of the school reunion. Sylvia Binns is best at chemistry and loves chocolate. Johnny Nadler has come second in everything in life and is very jealous. Mark Tyler is best at sport at school and is a marathon runner. Libby Goldman comes first at geography and has a TV show called Libby’s Lounge. Brenda Blake is best at music.
Crocodile Island is a remote Scottish island with sharp rocks surrounding it. It is shaped like the head of a crocodile. Nine people stay in a castle on the island. The castle is a big dark building on the island with hundreds of expensive artefacts described by Anthony Horowitz.The nine visitors will stay on the island.
Nine people go to a school reunion on a remote Scottish island where they would stay in a castle for a few days. They find the reunion host, Rory McDougal, dead, and then they all start dying in the strangest ways. So the remaining people are stuck on the island with the murderer. It is a great storyline by Anthony Horowitz.
The author has written an Action/detective/comedy book, which is rarely boring. It has great description. There are hard words in this short story book that young children may find hard to read.
The target age would be from 10-14. Most boys would be enjoying this book and some girls. Some girls would not like this story because it is a gory book. People who get bored easily may not like this book, but if the reader just holds on a couple more pages it gets straight back to the action.

Well done Lewis- a very good review. I particularly like your description of the settings and the balanced recommendation.
What I liked best about this review is that you make it very clear who the book would best suit. This is very useful for other people who might be thinking about reading it.
