Thanks to a group of grade 7 students from Glenlyon Norfolk House School for meeting with the PDPPPosse Book Club today to share some of their favourite (and not so favourite) books.


Today, we learned from a student who is into classic literature and recommended "Watership Down" by Richard Adams and "Emma"by Jane Austin for others interested in the genre.

We learned about a fantasy series called "Fablehaven" by Brandon Mull which is a quick and satisfying adventure read, leaving the reader wanting to know what will happen next in the series.

Students recommended "City of Ember" by Jeanne duPrau, "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak, "The Devil and His Boy" by Anthony Horowitz, "Maze Runner" by James Dashner, "Out of My Mind" by Sharon Draper and "The Shakespeare Stealer" by Gary Blackwood.

We were also told about "King of Shadows" and "Keys to the Kingdom" which were given less than raving reviews.  I guess we need to read them ourselves to see if we agree with the assessment!


I won't add any more detail about these books here because we just might get lucky and have the students blog about the books themselves.  Stay tuned . . . .
