An anagram is a rearrangement of the letters of one word or phrase to make another word or phrase.

A very simple example of an anagram is rearranging the letters of "Evil" to get "Vile". More advanced examples include rearranging  "The best things in life are free" as "Nail-biting refreshes the feet"!

Try solving these anagrams:

Nine thumps

Nil gets spelt

War Terms

Why not write a review of one of the books you have read?

HOW TO WRITE A BOOK REVIEW

• Give the title of the book and the author's name.
• Who are the main characters? Did you like them? How did they make you feel?
• Tell us about the plot but don't give too much away. Is it enjoyable to read?
• Give your opinion of the book. Did you like it? What was your favourite part and why? Were there any funny or scary bits? Did you learn anything?
• Would you recommend this book?
• Tell us a little about the author. Is there a website where we can find out more? Do you know any other books by the same author? Have you read any? How does this one compare?
