Book of the Week

We are getting closer and closer to the mid-year break, classes are finalising units and finishing learning tasks but here in the library it is business as usual. The hustle and bustle of a library full of students is great and we love the appeal the library has for our students. 

As always we are still concentrating on retrieving overdue books and would like to have as many items returned to the collection as possible, so once again, please have an extra search through lockers, bedrooms, bags, cars etc. and return these items, that way you can borrow something fresh for the holidays.

Our Book of the Week this week is A Murmuration of Starlings, an imaginative story by Franney Billingsley who tells the story of Robber Girl, a girl without a name or a home, but she does have a dagger, and she has Gentleman Jack, together, they are wild.Gentleman Jack has two tasks and he needs Robber Girl with him to complete them. But when a heist to steal back Gentleman Jack's gold goes wrong, Robber Girl is trapped. Instead of sleeping out in the ravine with cliffs and caves and a river, she must stay in a cottage with keys and doorknobs and a dollhouse. A cottage that threatens to tame her.Robber Girl waits for the right moment to start her new task: she will break Gentleman Jack out of jail. But the longer Robber Girl waits, the more the cottage starts to feel like home. Torn between loyalty to Gentleman Jack and the family who have taken her in, between fighting and trusting, between being wild and being tame, Robber Girl must unravel who she was and who she is now. But when you're a mystery even to yourself, discovering who you are might be the hardest task of them all.Part Western fantasy, part literary mystery and wholly unputdownable, A Murmuration of Starlings is loaded with magic, action, and intrigue, and features a character who will stay with you long after the final page.
