This adventure story would mainly appeal to boys and girls aged about 9-13 because younger children might find the death and disease distressing. But although the book is sad the author still managed to squeeze in some hilarious phrases.

“Two weeks with the Queen” is an adventurous story which would appeal to both boys and girls from the age of nine to about twelve . This story can be funny but also quite sad in some parts. There are some enjoyable parts of the book and boring in other parts but apart from that it is a good book.

This is such a good way for me to see the sort of tasks being set for homework. The use of your I.T. skills are being put to good use and allows me to make assessments of your work at a time that suits me- AT HOME - away from the hurly burly of 09.00 - 15.15. I intend to be a regular viewer of The Homework Blog and can give individual feedback to your submissions. Well done to Mrs.CM for this feature of your class blog.

Two Weeks With the Queen is about a boy called Colin, who goes on a big adventure to save his brother, Luke.
This story would appeal to children aged 10-12, and even adults, but, some readers may find it boring. Quite a lot of parts in this book are sad and depressing, so some readers may find it off-putting.
