Under discussion at this month's BookClub was The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, a quite long and not-altogether happy read as you would expect from the theme, content and historical setting.
The new books given out were The Girl with the Louding Voice by Abi Dare for Years 7 and 8 and A Terrible Kindness by Jo Browning Wroe for the older students. This latter novel is based on the Aberfan disaster of 1966 when a colliery tip engulfed the Pantglas Primary School killing 116 children and 28 adults.
Book Club is now being attended by representatives from all Year groups which is really heartening. The reading initiatives within the school are clearly paying off. Our next meeting will be on Wednesday 13th December so why not pop along!
