This author is so funny and strange but he puts a lot of effort into his books than most people.

I thought that this book was very interesting and engaging .In fact, it was so amazing that I spent ages reading it every night! But, if it was all perfect I would have rated it 5 stars and I didn’t. Although this book has its positives, there are some flaws. First of all, the book was a bit gross and at some stages, it did get a bit boring. Also, some texts were a bit scary. I would recommend this book to older readers and aspiring historians. Overall this book was a 3/5.

The Worst Children's Jobs In History is a good book that helps tell children how lucky they are in these days because in the Victorian times the rich people payed to have housemaids,nursery maids,cooks and lots of other people to come over and clean the house and cook and look after the children every day.

Because you might want to know how people live in the olden days and compare it to how we live nowadays and realise that they didn't have as much as you

This is a funny and slightly scary book. Some of the jobs kids did were shocking. I wouldn't like to stand in a bowl of pee and soak people's clothes in it! Am glad I didn't live then.
