This book was great because I like to imagine things too. I liked the games they played with their boxes. I was pleased at the end when they all played together.

My best bit was when they went up sudden hill, all 3 of them. My favourite person is Etho because I like him.

I wasn't that sure about this book, it shows friendship and kindness, but it was a bit sad.
The best person in the book was Etho as he was happy to play three-by -three but Birt played two-by-two and upset because he didn't want Shu int he game.I would recommend this book for 4 to 35 year olds.

I love this book and would recommend it to all my friends!

This is about playing on Sudden Hill and making things out of boxes. They made a supersonic rocket blaster and a super transformer and a sparkling glitter king!

This is a fiction book.

I liked the title of the book ‘on sudden hill’. I liked the go-cart. In the picture where Birt smashes the box I felt sorry for the box.

It is very nice because I like it because there's like a monster thing. The boy is a bit sad because his friend has someone else to play with so the other boy didn't come to play on the hill anymore.
