Smackdown
The Uncorker of Bottles won the Smackdown with a vote of 4/4. We liked that it was the main characters birthday at the end of the book.  We also really enjoyed the illustrations because the author used many different shades of colours to bring his pictures to life.  Our tribe really liked the main characters job of solving the mystery of who had sent the different bottles & messages into the ocean.  It was interesting how the Uncorker was lonely and wished for a letter for himself, so he could find friends.  You would like this book if you like to read stories with a little mystery that the reader has to solve.
