If you have not found anything
in the ebooks at West Lothian libraries or the previous suggestions I’ve given (see below) then perhaps you
might find something suitable amongst the two- yes two suggestions I have for
you today. So most of you will have heard
on the news yesterday JK Rowling
announced on twitter that she is
releasing on a daily basis this story she once read to her children. "The
Ickabog". Just a fairytale? Or will there be something more satirical? A story about "truth and the abuse of power." Well we will see where
this goes but enjoyed the first two chapters.
Then found out that Neal Shusterman is reading some of his short
stories (very hard to get hold of short stories). For those of you who don’t
know his books he wrote the Arc of the Scythe series (dystopian teen fiction) and
also “The Dry” , a book which has come to my mind several times over the past
few weeks as we have gone through lockdown. Highly recommended.
You will need around half an
hour for each reading.
This was the first one which I listened to about a kid who sees all seven of his guardian angels. At the end he talks about where the story comes from. Story 2 is only 5 mins long, an experiment on perspective.
If I was technically capable I would put in a vote Rowling or Shusterman. Oh where is my ICT support when I need it? Just message me what you
prefer.
