Book Recommendation:

One of the most popular and student recommended books at this school is:

by Katherine Applegate (Find me in the Animal section).

Ivan is a gorilla who lives on display in a shopping centre. He meets Ruby, a baby elephant, and wishes better things for her lead to a vast improvement in their living arrangements. The story epitomizes the characteristics of friendship, courage and hope leading to positive change. The human and animal characters are memorable and uplifting.

Oh dear, there’s been a rather shocking murder at Deepdean school for girls.

Two girls Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong start a secret detective agency at their boarding school to solve a possible murder at their school. Can their friendship and the school survive? A fun retro look at English life with a bit of a twist. See if you can solve the mystery too!
