With the long summer ahead, there is a great opportunity for children to do some reading for fun. We have many fantastic titles for every age range, some by well known authors and some written by new talent. Award-winning author and illustrator, Catherine Rayner’s “Sylvia and Bird” is a heart-warming story of the friendship between a dragon and a bird for the pre-school age. Pet-loving young children will love Katie Davies’ The Great Hamster Massacre which looks at death in a comic way through the eyes of a nine-year-old is based on the author’s childhood memories of the death of both her pet-hamster and her grandfather. For those who love an adventure story, Andrew Lane’s Young Sherlock Holmes: Death Cloud shows Holmes’ trademark observational skills at a young age when he sets out to find the truth about two dead bodies. For teenage girls, Gillian Cross’ Where I Belong will fascinate as it looks at how two totally different worlds collide – Somalia’s world of poverty and danger and London’s world of fashion and wealth.
