Book of the Week

As it starts to get colder the library gets busier. We create a warm, dry spot to come and sit with friends, read, play table games or simply shelter from the rain. We enjoy seeing familiar faces and welcoming new students using the room and the collection and getting to know our students in a relaxed environment. The library opens at 8.00am, closes at 4.00pm, and students are welcomed before and after school, and during recess and lunch. 

Come in and join us,

Melinda, Glennyce and Will.   

The Key to Rome by Sophie Masson

The Key to Rome by Sophie Masson

The scene - the ancient Roman province of Britannia.

The time - AD 84 

Twelve-year-old orphan Livia has to keep a promise made to her late father: to take a mysterious key to her estranged Uncle Marcus. She sets out with the key, her old horse, Pegasus, and her father's doctoring kit, only to learn that her uncle has left for a town further north. By the time Livia reaches it, her uncle has gone once again, and she can't find out where he has gone. Until a boy of the town, Mato, informs her that he knows. He refuses to tell her unless she takes him with her. As the two young people journey on the trail of Livia's uncle, they start to suspect that the key holds a very dangerous secret. And now Livia and Mato must keep their wits about them, in a deadly game of cat and mouse, but figuring out who is friend, and who is foe, is the greatest challenge of all...
