This term we have been having 'book tasting' sessions. Each week we have read an extract from a different book and one lucky person gets to borrow it.
So far we have dipped into the following books.
'An Eagle In The Snow' by Michael Morpurgo
Inspired by the true story of one man who might have stopped World War II.
'The Girl Savage' by Katherine Rundell
Wilhelmina Silver's world is golden. Living half-wild on an African farm with her horse, her monkey and her best friend, every day is beautiful.
But when her home is sold and Will is sent away to boarding school in England, the world becomes impossibly difficult. For lions and hyenas are nothing compared to packs of schoolgirls.
'The Indian in the Cupboard' by Lynn Reid Banks
When the plastic American Indian that Omri locks into the old cupboard comes to life he soon discovers that being in charge of a real, live, human being is a heavy responsibility. Little Bull is everything an Indian brave should be – proud, fearless and defiant. A surprising and exciting read!
A Greyhound of a Girl by Roddy Doyle
A Greyhound of a Girl is a perfectly-pitched, funny and tender take about four generations of an Irish family, and the special bond between mothers and daughters. An entrancing read.
