As the old classic song says - school is out for the summer here at King's. The students had their last day today. The staff will return tomorrow for farewells and a bit of fun.
Here is hoping for fine times, full sunshine, and fabulous stories to relate when everyone gets back after summer. I hope you have a safe and sound summer and I'm sure already you are looking forward to returning to King's in the new year!
I thought you might need to have some lists of fiction books to get from the public library while our library is closed.
Fantasy Readers:
Try Sara Douglass, Conn Iggulden, Terry Goodkind, Jim Butcher, Raymond E. Feist, Nancy Farmer, Tad Williams and Scott Westerfield.
Realistic Reads:
Try Des Hunt, Bernard Beckett, Vince Ford, Susan Pfeffer, Meg Rosoff, James Moloney, John Green, Fleur Beale
Mystery and Suspense:
Try Robert Harris, Anthony Horowitz, Malcolm Rose, Harlan Coben, Lee Child, Vanda Symon, Elizabeth George, Tess Gerritsen, Peter Robinson and Val McDermid
I don't want a big book but I want a good book:
Try: The boy in striped pajamas, by John Boyne, Once by Morris Gleitzman, Deadly Prospect by Fleur Beale, The Wind Singer by William Nicholson, How I live now by Meg Rosoff, Life as we knew it by Susan Pfeffer, Tales from Outer surburbia by Sean Tan, Michael Sweeney's Method by Sean Condon

Happy and safe holidays
