Here are some books that you might like to try - they have all been recommended by readers in Year 6.
I will keep on adding more books to this page as you suggest them -
Mrs Allen is reading Brightstorm by Vashti Hardy. This is the first Sky-Ship Adventure about the twins Arthur and Maddie Brightstorm. The book looks and sound really exciting. And if you like this one you will be glad to know that there are more adventures coming soon.
The next recommendation is The Beast of Buckingham Palace by David Walliams. I'm sure that lots of you have already read some of David's book so you know that you will be in for a treat when you read this. I've not read this one yet but I'm sure that I will. If you read it too - let me know what you think of it. A S-D in year 6 says "This book is about life in 2120 where climate change and pollution has sent the world into eternal darkness and the royals have taken control dissolving the police, the army and the parliament."
"Zoe's Rescue Zoo is about a girl called Zoe who lives in a zoo that her great-uncle set up and he goes around the world saving animals and taking them back to the zoo were Zoe's mum is the vet. Zoe helps them with what ever they need and she is always getting in trouble by the zoo manger. Also Zoe has a pet lemer called Meep. The book serious is writen by Amelia Cobb and illistrated by Sophie Williams."
Thank you for these fantastic recommendations ... I hope you enjoy reading them.
I will be back tomorrow with some other things for you to do...
Have fun reading

Well, I got a bit hooked on the story in Brightstorm - I do love a good adventure! I thoroughly recommend this book for anyone who enjoys a bit of mystery, adventure and maybe some steampunk. The main characters are twins - a girl who loves engineering and her impulsive but resourceful brother who was born with just one arm. They end up (after several mishaps) going on an amazing exploration of some undiscovered lands in a sky ship. I just loved it!
ReplyDeleteI'm now starting a new book called 'The Owl Service' which is quite a weird story set in a magical valley in Wales about 50 years ago. Three are some mysterious plates with owls on and strange things keep happening (scratching noises in the ceiling, plates smashing when no-one is around, plaster falling off walls to reveal an old painting) - I don't know why yet as I haven't got to that part!

That's great to hear... I will add that to a blog post as soon as I can. The Owl Service is by Alan Garner isn't it (I think - of course I could look it up couldn't I). I have heard great things about the book but haven't read it myself yet. It was mentioned quite a bit when Harry Potter came out and owls were being used to send messages. A bit of magpieing perhaps.
