Hello Bookworms!
We have more books for you to read this week!
Do take a look at our Lion Print magazine, under our Further Resources tab. Here are some of the stories our younger pupils have written at the beginning of the magazine and give you inspiration for your own writing. There is also some incredible art work from our pupils.
If you’d like some more ideas of great books to read, do check out our Reading List.
My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell
The Durrell family, along with Roger the dog, take off for the island of Corfu. But the Durrells find that, reluctantly, they must share their various villas with a menagerie of locals – among them scorpions, geckos, toads, bats and butterflies.
Out of this World by Ali Sparks
Tyrone Lewis is messing about in the woods, trying to keep out of trouble, when he stumbles upon something weird . . . a glowing lump of rock or metal or something. Whatever it is, it gives him an amazing power. Which is cool at first, until Ty’s new powers start attracting attention, and soon he’s being followed by two sinister agents who seem intent on ‘collecting’ him. But Ty has no intention of letting that happen. So now he’s got to RUN . . .
