Welcome everyone :) Things may be a little slow at the moment as I am in my last few months of school so I am swamped with work and exams but if you had time to leave a comment it would make my day!

Help Needed
Hello Everyone :) Sorry I have been a little MIA lately but I'm hoping you'll forgive me and give me some advice.
I got an email from my sister's boyfriend's mother asking for some book advice. She sent me this:
Denise
I wondered if you guys had any suggestions. I would love to hear them. Thanks :)

Dear Alice
Hi, I got your email address from lauren so I could ask your advice. Our son Tom's finacee is French and her mum is learning English (rather late in the day). I am emaling her from time to time to help with this!
She has been reading some of the Alex Rider books which I think she enjoys. She is coming here at Easter and I said i would find some other books for teenagers that she would like. Can you recommend any that are a) quite easy to read and b) would appeal to a middle-aged woman!
i did think of Jacquleine Wilson, but thought they might be a bit too young - what do you think?
Thanks a lot!

172 Hours on the Moon was a wonderfully written book, full of suspense, fascination and mystery. From the very beginning I was intrigued by the plot and the further I got through the novel, the more secrets there seemed to be. Anyone who loves mystery, space and a touch of fear factor will really love this one!
The plot was so fascinating. I love Space and the idea of teenagers venturing up to the moon really attracted me to this book. From the start there are hints that things aren't quite right with the intentions of the trip and there is a slow drip drip of information throughout the novel. However, it seems as though when one question is answered, two more are formed. I loved the suspense and mystery and this aspect held my attention whilst reading.
I liked all the main characters. Mia was probably my favourite, though. I felt attached to all of them, despite the 3rd person narration. The back stories of these characters really shaped them and allowed the reader to connect to them.
I knew the book looked a little sinister and the idea of
things going wrong in Space is terrifying but I wasn’t expecting how eerie the
book was. I definitely had trouble reading it at night before I went to bed.
Overall, I really really enjoyed 172 Hours on the Moon. I
recommend it to those who are interested in Space and love a good mystery with
a splash of scary thrown in!
