‘The Forests of Silence’ by Emily Rodda

I love this book. I was hesitant at first but found that this book is full of adventure, humour and so much more! 

- Charlee R (Year 6) 

‘Wings of fire: A Guide to the Dragon World’ by Tui Sutherland.

It is an interesting book that tells us all about every existing dragon in Pyrryha and Pantala. I love it so much and I recommend it to all dragon lovers. 

- Sophia S (Year 5)

‘The Hey Jack collection, 2’ by Sally Rippin

This book is about a kid called Jack. He has friends named Billie and more. In this book, he finds a dog and he doesn't know whose dog it is, so the next morning he knocks on all the doors to see if it is anyone’s. 

- Jackson S (Year 6)

‘Stars of the NBA’ by Kjartan Atli Kjartansson.

This book is good for NBA lovers it has the new players. PS  I think you will like it. 

- Thomas W (Year 5)
