Who Could That Be at This Hour? (All the Wrong Questions)

Lemony Snicket, Egmont, 978-1405256216, £8.99 hbk

In this mysterious book, everything goes out of hand when Lemony Snicket and Theodora adventure through the town of Stain’d-by-the-Sea and locate the statue that is known as ‘The Bombinating Beast’ but Lemony uncovers the truth of what is actually happening in the town and something happens which turns everything around … The book will have you thinking what will be happening next and, in your head, you will be able to imagine just about everything that is said. It is perfect for people who love mystery books and I recommend this book for people ages 9/10 and up.

Wonder

R J Palacio, Corgi, 978-0552565974, £7.99 pbk

We know what it’s like to be normal but think how many times have you thought about the people that make other people stare. The ones that hide their faces everyday for the fear of someone laughing. Well now is your chance as you delve into a world where August isn’t normal. Where August is the one who’s special. Join him as he fights the struggles of everyday life of someone who looks different. See our world from the side that matters. So throughout this story you will realise that you choose who you are and that person can change lives for the better or for worse! But it’s never too late to change. ‘Choose kind’

Agata, Year 6
