Book Trailer

"Crossing the line" by Gillian Philip. Pupil Review.

I found this book hard to put down. This is because Philip builds tension with her use of short paragraphs, variety of vocabulary and great pace throughout the story. "Crossing the line" shows the dangers of crossing railway lines and carrying knives. It appeals to teenagers who may be experiencing peer pressure to carry knives to school or within a gang. It will make those who are think twice and put down their own weapons.

Books for your stockings!

Stories in Scots

If you enjoyed the recent visit by story teller Stuart McHardy and want to read a book in the Scots language then you might like to try the following titles:

" The Eejits"- A translation into Scots of 
Roald Dahl's " The Twits" by Matthew Fitt.
" The Gless Ee. Ye can play hunners o tricks wi a gless ee because ye can tak it oot and pap it back in again ony time ye like. Ye can bet yer life Mrs Eejit kent aw the tricks. Wan mornin she took oot her glessee and drapped it intaeMr Eejit's joog o ginger when he wisnae lookin......"

Lari Don has translated Burn's classic and wonderful poem " Tam O' Shanter."    Tam has left the pub and is riding home on Meg his mare when he hears about a party worth gatecrashing... but a party in a graveyard!

 

Or why not try " Tam O'Shanter's big Night Oot: Wee Plays in Scots" another offering by Matthew Fitt.
