Welcome Back

We are back after our long summer. The first meeting of the Book Group took place this week when we discussed what we had been reading over the summer. A mixed bag of goodies but Harry Potter is back in the forefront as  pupils are re-reading the series with the advent of the new book. 

New members welcome to the Book Group this Wednesday.

S1 Book Group Choice

"Quest for Justice" by Sean Faye Wolfe

 

A Minecraft based fan-fiction book. This is the first in the series. Don't be put off by the cover because it is a great book with an excellent story line. You don't need to be a Minecraft player to  enjoy this book. The Book Group really loved this novel by a very talented and young new author.

Should we buy more of these for the school library? Let us know what you think.

There are some truly inspirational reads on the shortlist this year. Check out the display in the library, borrow a book and remember to take a review sheet and bookmark.

Displays for 2015

We would like suggestions for displays in the library. Displays can promote a book, a time of the year, an event.
Here are a few from the past.

On the blurb it describes this book in three words 

"Cryptic Pulse-pounding Adventure"  
 What three words could you come up with to describe this book?

Favourite book of 2014

The most requested books in the library this year were those of David Walliams. The "Fault in our stars" by John Green had at one point a waiting list of 13. All John Green books were well read.
