I really love this app, I use it with the Fitbit one [quite and old model] I have had it for over two years now and it’s going strong, even been in the washing machine.

I love that it is so easy to see and check during the day. I really enjoy earning badges and trying to beat my goal.

This app has really good connectivity with many other apps I use which is just great as it makes my life easy.

It’s good to connect with friends and challenge them. Also there are individual adventures you can do [you earn a badge when you complete it]

The Incredible Adventures of Cinnamon Girl had a lot going for it: Well written with a vivid narrative, interesting setting, and a good cast of characters. I enjoyed the way in which true-to-life detailing and characterisations were embellished with a measure of weirdness, and I liked the take on the fear-of-change dilemma.

BUT...

I wasn't anywhere near as taken by this as I was by Life in Outer Space. There was just this frustratingly indefinable, yet very blatant...lack. I never felt fully caught up in this, the ending really didn't wow me, and it somehow seemed a lot longer than it was.

The character development, story, Everything! (0 more)
It is like you are actually in the book
I bought this book in Asda as part of a 2 for 7 deal when it first came out. Once I started reading it I could not put it down. I felt like I was transported into the book and was travelling with Jess during his adventures

Two of my favourite characters are Morgan and Wolfe because they each bring their own elements into the story.

I am currently reading the fourth book in the quadrology and would say it is on par with the Harry Potter series as my favourite books ever!

Tempt the Stars is great, even with the grief over one of my favourite characters. The way Cassie pulls Pritkin into her adventures despite his sentence of doom is run and heartbreaking.

We learn of a whole new side to the world, the witches and the Pythian court, which provides ana exciting more female empowerment. While vampires were quite gender neutral there was a heavy male presence and the mages were all male. Having the strong witches arrive and Cassie prove her place among them and growing and maturing in this book was an exciting turn that I look forward to in subsequent books.

Jumper tells the story of a red ball that is desperate to escape from the toy store and explore the world. Thanks to some help from Mr Wind he is able to have some adventures.

Written for parents to read to their young children, Jumper will not only engage 4 year olds with the tale of the adventurous ball but also has some depth and scope for discussion between parent and child over some of the issues, such as the desire to explore versus obeying rules.

A good book that will be a favourite of parents and children to be read and re-read
