Books to look out for!

If you were a fan of 'The Boy at the Back of the Classroom' by Onjali Q Rauf, then you might like to try her new book 'The Night Bus Hero' that was only released two weeks ago. Read the blurb below to see if you think you will enjoy the book. 

"The boy's an absolute menace. Why can't he be more like his sister? He's a bully! He's a lost cause."

I have been getting into trouble for as long as I can remember. Usually I don't mind because some of my best, most brilliant ideas have come from sitting in detention. But recently it feels like no one believes me about anything-even when I'm telling the truth!

And it's only got worse since I played a prank on the old man who lives in the park. 

Everyone thinks I'm just a bully. They don't believe I could be a hero. So I'm going to prove them all wrong. 

For older children, The Goldfish Boy is a book about a twelve-year-old boy, Matthew, is trapped in his bedroom by crippling OCD. Until one day his neighbour disappears and he must become a detective to solve the mystery.

This story is perfect for fans of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time and Wonder. It is a book that will make you laugh and cry.

BOOK REVIEWS

If you have read a book that you would like to share with the school, please send your review to your class email group and your teacher will pass it on to me to get it published on this page.

Here is one by Ambra for The Girl who speaks Bear by Sophie Anderson. 

BOOK DONATIONS and BOOK CORNERS

Don't forget, if you have any old books that are still in good condition, you can always donate them to your class book corner. I have a stamp that I put in the book with your name on. 

Look out for some of these new books in your book corners.
