                     Boom 

By Mark Haddon

Boom is a book about two boys that are best friends (Jimbo and Charlie) who are just ordinary cheeky boys.  But when they find out from spying that two of their teachers (Mrs Pierce their history teacher and Mr Kidd their art teacher) have a secret language between them, their world becomes chaotic.  What is that language?  Why are they speaking it?  What does it mean?  Jimbo and Charlie set out to answer these questions in this original and imaginative book.  I really liked because I have never read anything like it.  My favourite character was Charlie because he takes great risks and is pretty funny. 

Rating: *****/*****

Recommendation: I recommend this book to ages 9-13
