Some Book Recommendations

Hello everyone and thank you for leaving some messages... It's really great to hear from you all.

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." 

If you like fantasy and magic then I am sure that you will like the Harry Potter books by J.K.Rowling. One reader in Year 6 has alread read the first two books and is now reading the Prisoner of Azkaban. Here is the excellent recommendation from a reader in Y6 - "I'm really enjoying it.I have read numbers 1,2 and now about to finish 3.I am planning to read all of them in lock down.Once i spent 2hours and 30 minutes ready because it was such a lovely day."

The final book recommendation today comes from Amelia in Yr 6. Amelia is reading Zoe's Rescue Zoo by Amelia Cobb. There are a lot of books in the series and they are a lot of fun - I have read one called "The Picky Puffin" - if you like fun stories with animals in them then I am sure that you will enjoy these. Here's what Amelia says about them. 

"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

Strange Days

Hello everyone...

Things are all a bit strange at the moment aren't they. I'm working from home as I usually do but it is a bit different as my wife is at home too... Vicky works in a library but all the libraries are closed. I bet that is even stranger for you working at home or working in a very quiet school. 

I am going to start adding things to this page so that we can keep in touch a bit more. I will also suggest some things that you might like to do while you are working at home or at school.

First of all - let me know what book you are reading... 
I'm reading a book called The Hydrogen Sonata by a brilliant author called Iain M Banks. It's a very big book that is set in the future... I like it because it is an exciting story that is full of aliens and spaceships. There is also a lot of mystery in the story and quite a few funny things too. I love this writer's books and will be reading more.

Do you like the book you are reading?

What do you like about it?

Would you like to read some more books by the same author?

I can't wait to hear from you.

Next week I will add some word searches to this page - and lots of other fun things that you can do.

Have fun reading...

Bye for now

I am delighted and excited to have been asked to be the Patron of Reading at your school and I can't wait to meet you all on Friday. 

This part of my website is just for us. Here we can share news about what books we have been reading so let me know if you have read something really good - your friends might want to read it too. We can also share pictures and writing that we have been doing.

You can email me any time to say hello or to send me something that you would like me to put on this page. My email address is author@damianharvey.co.uk - You can also leave a little message on this page itself by clicking on the comment button at the bottom of each post. Once I have made sure that the message is okay, it will appear on the page for everyone to see. Remember to ask your parents or your teacher first so that they know what you are doing.

This page might look a bit boring right now but don't worry - I will keep adding things to it to make it look better. Let me know if you have any ideas that can make it better too.

See you all very soon and have fun reading...
