    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?
