We are going to be writing some book reviews for a competition next term. However, to do this we all need to have read some of the books that we are going to review.
Therefore, we now have a large pile of books waiting to be checked out and read carefully.
For the moment, all you need to do is sign out one of the books and read the whole story. (I will explain how we will check them out). If you want to keep any notes while you read about the characters, settings, plot, your feelings about the book, its style etc, that would would be really useful for your future review.

Our reviews will then be shared with other schools.

Your choices are:
'Bill's New Frock' by Anne Fine
'Shadow' by Michael Morpurgo
'Billionaire Boy' by David Walliams

TOP TIP: Read the Blurb of all three books before you decide which one you would like to read.

Please do not post any comments here yet... we are saving the space for when we write our reviews.
