Book Corner

Since our appeal is for a library, it is appropriate that we should devote some space to books.

• What's the best book you have read this year
• What are your favourite books ever?

Why not share your recommendations with others through our pages. Send us the details of the book and, if you wish, tell us in a few lines why you particularly enjoyed it. We will add a direct link to that item at Amazon and if you want post your review (anonymously if you wish). Remember if you buy a book from Amazon from a link posted on this site we get treble the normal donation!

To get things going, we will soon have some recommendations from the children and staff at the school. In the meantime...

• Adult fiction
• Adult non-fiction - under development
• Children's fiction (now with pupils' reviews)
• Children's videos
