Reviews

Hicham - Kimberley School - 2018

Incredibly Funny Book. A Must Read!

Eve - Kimberley School - 2018

A good book but I got a little confused at some points on who the dog belonged to and who was who. A lovely plot twist when his father comes to support him and when Dog doesn't do what she was told. All in all, a good story.

Olivia - Kimberley School - 2018

I think this is a great book but it contains some strong language and shouldn't be given to read by any children under the age of 9 I think as it could influence them and set a bad explain for how they believe they should act.

Harry - Arnold Hill Academy - 2018

I really like this book because it is very adventurous and incredible! In this story this is kind of like me because i always keep secrets from my parents! When Paris signs them all into a local talent show everything gets tougher! Amazing book!!

Jeeya - Ellis Guilford School - 2018

I enjoyed reading the Incredible Billy Wild because it's a lovable book about friendship experienced through the love of dogs I also thought it was a page turner as it included an unexpected twist throughout the middle of the story. My favourite character is Paris as she is outgoing and bubbly and she is very confident which is what I admire so much about this character. I wish this book had been more imaginative towards the ending .

Very good, Great plot. I loved the cheekiness of Billy and also Johnny as they keep the dog. I would recommend this book to people aged 11-13 .

Billy Wild was really good. At parts I would be laughing my head off and at others it could make me very sad. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes books that have an emotional story and lots of laughs.

Leo - Bramcote College - 2018

I thought that Billy Wild was a great, unusual book that I wouldn't usually pick up, This has changed my opinion on a lot of books. Overall it was a good book that gripped me from the start.

The "Incredible Billy Wild" is a story about a young boy called Billy, he goes into his garden one day and he finds a Greyhound. This is an adventurous story where he has to raise the dog without his father knowing. His goal is to fix his fathers heart because his wife has recently passed away. Billy has to prepare for a talent show; he has taught Dog( the Greyhound) to sing. I really like this book, I recommend it to every one.

Martha - Kimberley School - 2018

This book was really good and I really enjoyed it. I think Tommo was funny and what he said made me laugh.

Matt - Hall Park Academy - 2018

This was a boring book. None of the character's seem real, and seemed made up on the spot to fit various character tropes, like the evil relation, and parents working against the children who are trying to do something plot wise.
