Reviews
This book was interesting because abby helped Jack get his ball, she was my favourite character because even though she teased him she still helped him in the end, she was a good friend.

I loved this book. Its about a boy called Jack (like me). he moved into a new house and kicked his ball over thr garden into a bush. A girl lived there and started playing games with me pretending she was being chased by a lion to try and get his ball back. He went through a hole in the wall with the girl that led to what looked liek a jungle but it was her back garden and the lion was her pet cats.. They made friends and he met her mum who the girl pretended was a giant. I would definitely recommend this book

I really loved this story and how Abbie uses her imagination to play by turning her dog into a wolf and her cats into tigers.
Superintendent Rip Spinner 14.08.2020
I like Abbies imagination and how she makes her pets into different jungle animals. I’m glad that Jack finds and makes a new friend on his first day at his new house.

It's about someone named Jack who realises there's a house that has a jungle. I would recommend it. It is fiction. My favourite character was Jack because he says "I'm bored" like me!
