It’s been far too long since our last post, so here is a small sample of some of the great new books in the library.
The capture is the first book in the Guardians of Ga’hoole series by Kathryn Lasky. Some of you may have seen the movie over the holidays. The book is well worth reading – most enjoyable in fact. We have ordered the rest of the series (I think there are about 10 books so far in the series), but at this stage, we only have the first book.
Another delightful book that I read over the holidays was Trash by Andy Mulligan. At first I thought this was just going to be an insight into the lives of three young boys who live on the rubbish dumps in the Philippines. It was that, but so much more. The boys have to decipher a code in order to find the treasure, all the while being chased by the authorities, who also want to find the treasure. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I’m sure you will too. Will be available soon.
Another great holiday read of mine was Operation Ocean Emerald by Ilkka Remes. This is an action packed book about Luke Baron, who unwittingly gets caught up in the drama of a hijacked luxury ocean liner. This is one you won’t want to put down until it is finished. Just needs to be covered and then it will be available.
Finally (although there are so many more good books I could talk about), we have a wonderful new picture book called Spoon by Amy Krouse Rosenthal.
Ask to have a look at this book in the Library. Even though it is a Picture book, I guarantee it will bring a smile to your face.
Happy reading,
Mrs Haynes
