This months good reads from our amazing librarian, Mrs Daniels, are here!
Both books are great for anyone but we think they are best suited for those currently in Key Stage 4.
The sky is everywhere – Jandy Nelson

But when Bailey dies abruptly, Lennie is catapulted to centre stage of her own life – and suddenly finds herself struggling to balance two boys.

The Lord of the Rings – J. R. R. Tolkien
This sequel to The Hobbit is a fantasy masterpiece. Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered to him all the Rings of Power – the means by which he intends to rule Middle-earth. All he lacks in his plans for dominion is the One Ring – the ring that rules them all – which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins. This book will stand the test of time.
