What We’re Reading!

As part of our championing of reading, pupils are sharing what they have been reading recently, reviewing the great, the ones to avoid and the un-put-down-able. This will be a weekly segment in the newsletter – perfect for suggestions at home!

Scarlett B

The summer of broken rules

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Really nice romance to read, not too long.

I would recommend it if you like romance because it’s got a great plot and complex characters

About a girl going back to her family’s farm for her cousin’s wedding

Julian M

One of us is lying

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It’s really engaging but it is a little slow at some parts

It is a modern murder mystery set in a high school; I would recommend it if you like murder mysteries

Riley D

Stormbringer

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book is good. You might want to read Dazai Chuuya age 15 first, but you don’t have to.

Chuuya is aiming to be a mafia executive before his rival then suddenly a man shows up claiming to be his brother. He needs to figure out more about himself as a person and where he came from as he doesn’t remember his past.

People should read this because I want to talk about why I love the book to people who know what I’m talking about.

Shri B

The grandest game by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

⭐️⭐️

Good but I think it takes a while to get into it and I’m 3/4 through it but it has a nice plot line

Following from the inheritance games, players are sorted into groups to work out clues and riddles to win money. But there’s a twist.

Would recommend if you have read the inheritance games (it’s a lead on book)

The book thief by Markus Zusak

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very good, quite sad and upsetting but it’s interesting how it’s narrated through death and the context behind the scenes are good

It’s a book about this little girl who is living through the start of WW2 and how the her life changes.
