Six best recommended books for children in November

What comes to your mind when you imagine an alien? Can jam tarts fly? What can aliens and jam have in common?

Think about these questions for a bit, and then, pick up a copy of An Alien in the Jam Factory. Everything you knew about jams, factories and aliens will be turned around on its head in the most enjoyable way possible!

This hilarious book will take you on a mad adventure among unheard of jam flavours. The book features unbelievable inventions, a pet snail, an evil villain, an entirely new and unique extra terrestrial creature and the most endearing, creative and genius hero who happens to have Cerebral Palsy, Scooter!

It is difficult to put the book down once you begin reading it, and even as you find answers to the questions asked above; this book teaches you the most valuable lesson ever - don’t let ANYTHING stop you from chasing your dreams. Bonus - the illustrations are a delight!

Amelia Fang is a vampire who gets into lots of trouble when she is with her friends. There are lots of books in the series but this is my favourite. In this one, Amelia is looking after her baby brother with her friends. They take him for a walk and leave him while they play a game of zombie tag. When they come back he’s lost in the land that Grimaldi the reaper sends squashed toads to! They have to dress up like toads to rescue him but they almost get stuck there as well. My favourite part is when they save her baby brother because he’s very cute.

I like this book because Harry Potter is one of the greatest fantasy and adventuristic characters I have ever seen, and it has the most action. Without the guidance and protection of their professors, Harry, Ron and Hermione begin a mission to destroy the Horcruxes, the sources of Voldemort's immortality. Though they must rely on one another more than ever, dark forces threaten to tear them apart. Voldemort's Death Eaters have seized control of the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts, and they are searching for Harry as he and his friends prepare for the ultimate showdown. My favourite part is in Chapter 35 when Dumbledore brings up his fear in facing Grindelwald in their final duel.

The 1000 Year Old Boy is about a boy that survived the last Viking invasion of England. When he escaped, he continued to live as an 11 year old and the story moves to modern times. He makes a few friends, but one of them believes his family uses witchcraft. To find out what happens, you must read the book yourself! In my opinion, the story is really good, and I like it. The story is fast-paced and exciting. This is a must read for 9 and above.

The 130-Storey Treehouse is a humorous book, with action. It features Andy, Terry and Jill as they go on an extraterrestrial adventure. The book starts with Andy tackling an annoying fly that buzzes around him. When Terry tries to kill it with his new laser eyes. He sets the tree on fire! Just as Jill comes along, calls the fire brigade and puts out the fires, The whole treehouse gets taken by a ginormous floating eyeball! The Eyeball takes them all through space, finally landing them on a planet shaped like a giant eyeball. They had been chosen to fight in the Intergalactic Space Battle to Death! Will they win and survive or die? Or do they come up with a solution that ends with something entirely different? My favourite part of the book is when they find the Blob happy and alive on Blobdromeda!
