This book is set in 1939, just before the war about a girl named Tally. She is sent to boarding school by her father so she doesn't get sent away if they get bombed.

Title: Sticky burr - Adventures in Burrwood forest

Author: John Lechner Fiction - comic
Characters:
sticky bur, mossy burr, scurvy burr, spiny burr, drafle, lightning bugs, wild dogs.

Sticky burr is a small, peaceful burr who likes painting and playing the ukulele. But Scurvy burr is the complete opposite - he tramples flowers, sets nasty traps, and even steals candy from baby burrs!
Now he's had enough of the goody-goody sticky burr, and trys to chase him out of the village.
so when he is chased out, sticky burr's adventure begins in Burrwood forest. But he soon gets stuck on a bird, flys into a wasps nest,and is trapped inside a maze tree, along with his best friend Draffle. But back at the village sticky burr is needed when a pack of wild dogs attack!

But can sticky burr, Draffle, and the lightning bugs find their way out of the twisting turning maze tree, in time to save the village from being destroyed?

When I saw this book in the library I automaticly wanted to read it. It had such a bright orange cover, with a cute picture of sticky burr on it, that I just had to take it home and read it.

sticky burr looked so friendly I just couldn't resist.

I would recomend this book to anyone who loves ordinary day heros that always save the day by just being themselves, and just happen to be in the right place at the time, just helping friends and not wanting anything in return.

Rating: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 (10)

I give this book at rating of 10/10, as sticky burr is always ready for adventure even when he least expects it. He is also very happy, and determined to have a good time,do the right thing, as well as escaping whatever nasty thing that Scurvy Burr is trying to plan to get rid of him.

The author is also the illistrator and has done a very good job of creating the story plot and paints wonderful and exciting pictures of the characters and what they are doing. It is also quite easy to tell which character is saying what, as there is always a speech bubble close to the character, and their mouth is always open when speaking.

Recomended reading age: 7 and up.
