Reading Recomendation: The Mortal Instruments- Cassandra Clare

Fairy floss, a year 11 student recommends the series the Mortal Instruments to everyone.  A group of her friends were reading it and thought she would also enjoy it.  She says that it is hard to get involved in at first, but is well worth the effort if you persevere.  It took Fairy Floss only 2 days to read the book, she would suggest the book to any teenagers who enjoy a combination of action and romance.  The character Isabelle is one she relates to, since she is strong and sassy but also has a loyal and supportive side.  Another thing that Fairy Floss loves about Isabelle is the fact that she is always supportive of her friends, something we all hope to be.  The series of books has been turned into a movie series, so after reading all six books it might be interesting to compare them to their movie.

 

This is our last post before the Christmas break, we hope you all enjoy your holiday.  Keep busy reading over the break and let us know what you've been up to, maybe it will be featured on the blog!  See you next year- Zinnia and Gwendoline

Library News: New Books to Read

Over 1200 items have been added to the Library collection this year, including DVDs, CDs and, of course, lots of reading material. 

New additions are usually displayed face front for a week or two – but with this number of items it hasn’t been possible to promote all of them in this way, so here’s a very brief roundup of what you might have missed.

Has it ever occurred to you that the Playground is like a jungle?  This is just one of the many picture books that the collection includes.  Among the newcomers there are many prize-winning titles from Germany such as Gute Nacht, Gorilla or Krikelkrakels: das bewegte Buch as well as some old and gold favourites such as Mama Muh.

Zac Power and the Rainbow Fairies are both very popular with beginning readers; as is Der kleine Drache Kokusnuss.  You can find them in the junior fiction section.

The collection has non-fiction for all years: Geschichte eines Bauernhofs and Geschichte eines Hafens as well as Leben am Nil take you visually through farmyards, harbours or down the Nile across different historical eras with lots of information in the pictures.

Hello to our readers, just a reminder about the competition. Its still on and we're still taking your book recommendations, you can enter more than once!
Stay tuned for next weeks update :) Gwendoline and Zinnia
