Josh Baxter Levels Up by Gavin Brown. This book is about a kid called Josh baxter and how he start in a new school after moving. This book is adventure. I really enjoyed this book because he is a gamer and I am too. I think that it also taught me something from how to act at school or anywhere else, learning from what the different characters would act in a game. I would recommend it to people who like playing Nintendo games or also play different games. This book was great overall and I think that anyone who read it would also like it a lot. Overall it's a good book that I would recommend if you like gaming . (Keelmoris. Grade 7)

Josh Baxter: Levels Up by Gavin Brown is about a boy named Josh Baxter and how he deals with starting in a new school after moving. This book is in the genre of realistic fiction with how he adjusts to everything new. I enjoyed the story but it felt simplistic and a little short. I felt it could of been longer but it was still good. The story and character could be relatable and that made me enjoy the story more. Overall it's a good book that I would recommend if you like gaming or want a not so challenging read. (Ashton. Grade 7)

This book seemed quite popular and the overall opinion of this book was quite positive, for that reason I wanted to read it. Personally I found the story quite lackluster and a bit forgettable. I did not overly enjoy the book but did not dislike it, the book is very much in the middle in terms of enjoyability. I did not enjoy the plot of the story because in a nutshell it is just a normal person overcoming a non fictional issue but they try to format it in a way so it's like a video game which to me feels weirdly cliché. Apart from my main point of not overly enjoying it, I did find some components of the story good, for example I did like most of the characters and their different traits. I also feel this story can be quite relatable to people which makes it better. My conclusion of the book is that if you enjoy video games you might enjoy this book but if not I would not recommend it. (Oliver. Grade 7)

The book I read was called Josh Baxter Levels Up, by Gavin Brown. This book is very interesting as it says characters that I know about, since I play those games and I know who those characters were. I really enjoyed this book because he is a gamer and I am too.

This book was a good book. A book that when you start reading it, you won't be able to stop until you finished it, I liked this book a lot because it was funny. This book is all about Josh Baxter, he just moved to a new school, he makes enemies and there is this final challenge at the end of the book (sorry no spoilers) that really glues you to what is happening in the book. Though this book is fun, it doesn't have very much detail in what is going on, and if you want more challenging vocabulary, this book is not great for you. (James. Grade 7)
