The Little Match Girl Strikes Back by Emma Carroll
This novel is based on the Hans Christian Anderson classic. This atmospheric, illustrated retelling follows Bridie, who is down on her luck and down to her last three matches. She then realises that each remaining strike harbours magical powers and could change the course of many people’s lives. We would recommend this novel for children in lower key stage 2 or as an easier, thought-provoking read for upper KS2 children. Recommended and loved by Mrs Gorton |

Rabbit & Bear by Julian Gough & Jim Field
This book is beautifully illustrated with a classic feel. It is a funny story of a rabbit and a bear who discover that things are better when they're shared with a friend. We would recommend this book for readers who are moving on from picture books. 'A wonderful book!' Ms Stas, Sycamore Class 'So incredibly funny,' Ms Gorton, Sycamore Class. 'You must read this book,' Oak Class. |
