   Itch

   Itch is an exciting action packed story involving the periodic table and the exciting possibilities of the chemical elements. Ideal for Year 7 children who are visiting a chemistry lab with a poster of the periodic table on the wall, it will help them understand what the periodic table means and why the elements excite chemists. Science teachers having a large scrap in the chemistry lab is fun too! Parents reading may be shocked at the elements Itch has managed to obtain samples of, the highly poisonous arsenic for example, but his knowledge and in an emergency his use of the elements is educational and thrilling.

   Itch, what a funny title, I thought when I first saw it. However, the Carnegie Competition at school meant I have to read every single book in the list. When I first started reading it I thought that I can really relate to this book, mainly because Itch is a science freak, like me. Obviously I don’t go around collecting elements, but like Itch, I think it’s very interesting. At first I found it quite boring, but looking at all the great comments my friends wrote about this book, I carried on reading it. Once I reached the part when Itch finds the rocks, I was totally absorbed in it. This is definately one of the best books I have ever read, and I totally loved it.
