H.I.V.E.

Reviewed by Abbie M Hunwick Primary School

This story is about: Otto Malpense was picked to go to H.I.V.E. but he has to complete his training before he can. He finds it shocking that he has to spend 6 years studying things that he can already do.

The part I enjoyed most was: Was where the massive sonic shockwaves tore through the hanging forest of stalactites, shattering their centuries old grip on the cavern ceiling.

However, I did not enjoy: The bit that says: the villain gets all the best lines, has the best costumes, has the ultimate power and wealth, I thought it went on a bit.

My score out of ten for this book is: 7

I would recommend this book to age group, because: 12+, because they’d understand more about the book.

This story is about: Thirteen year old Otto Malpense has been chosen to attend H.I.V.E., the top secret school for criminals. But there is one small catch, he can't leave until his training is complete. Otto says there is no way he is spending six years there. He says he has such a natural talent - but he needs to escape, but how?

The part I enjoyed most was: when he was training in the H.I.V.E. Otto was in a helicopter

However, I did not enjoy: The beginning

My score out of ten for this book is: 6

I would recommend this book to age group, because: 9+, because you have to be confident
