Gillian's favourite books

              Silver Wing by Kenneth Oppel

Silver Wing is about a young silver wing bat named Shade. Shade is the runt of his colony and his dream is to see the sun! The law is that no bats can see the sun, it's illegal. One day Shade decides to stay out and get a glimpse of the sun, but this just causes trouble between the owls and the bats, what will Shade do? And just when things seem to get as bad as they can, Shade gets separated from the rest of his colony during Hibernaculum. Will he ever be able to meet up with his colony? Will he ever solve the problems between the bats and the owls? 

I really enjoyed this book I would recommend it for grade 5 or 6 students.                                                     





              The  Candy Makers By Wendy Mass     The Candy Makers is about four 12 year olds named Logan, Miles, Daisy and Phillip (at the Life is Sweet Candy Factory) who compete in the national candymaking competition of a lifetime! They soon become great friends, and learn some interesting secrets about each other. They have three days to make the best selling candy. Read this book and find out the mysteries that these 4 contestants await! I would recommend this book for late elementary school students or early middle school students.


























      The Whole Truth By Kit Pearson

The Whole Truth is about a girl named Polly, this book takes place in 1932 when Polly is almost ten. Polly and her older sister Maud move from their home in Winnipeg to a small island between Victoria and Vancouver to live with their grandmother. Maud goes off to boarding school and leaves Polly by herself. But after a little bit she starts feeling at home, she starts making friends at school and feels like she`s part of a very big family she never knew about. But she is having trouble keeping a secret that she and Maud have. Then an unexpected arrival comes and Polly does not know if she can keep her awesome life on the island.
 I would recommend this book for middle schoolers.




 
    And Nothing But The Truth By Kit Pearson

And Nothing But The Truth is a sequel to The Whole Truth. In this book It's Polly's turn to go to boarding school. Although she's dreading it she knows its the best option for her. The only thing she's looking forward to is getting art lessons, and her family is all good now so there`s nothing to worry about... until Maud tells Polly her dark secret. Will Polly be able to keep another secret?
 I would recommend this book to middle schoolers.
