Welcome Back to Term 2!

I’ve picked up some terrific new books during the holidays – they should start hitting the shelves next week! Some great new beginner’s chapter books because it’s hard to keep up with those Stage 1 readers, also a new ‘Top Gear’ book, cookbooks, cartoon drawing and two new lettering books – something for everyone!

Did you read something exciting, mysterious, funny, sad, boring or even dreadful during the holidays? I’m giving a prize for the best comment, so get busy!!

If you enjoy reading and writing poetry, check out the Dorothea Mackellar  Poetry Awards. You may be lucky enough to be shortlisted or even win a prize!

I’m looking forward to reading your comments!

Hot New Titles!

Andy Griffiths has just published a brand new series called ‘Schooling Around’, about a boy called Henry McThrottle and his adventures at school (his teacher’s name is Mr Brainfright). This is sure to be a hit, so reserve your copy now! Check out Andy Griffith’s website ! The second title in the series will be released later in 2008.

Jackie French has just published a book I’m predicting will be shortlisted in 2009 for Book Week – called ‘A Rose for the Anzac boys’.

We now have a ‘Bionicle’ encyclopedia…don’t panic…it will be available for loan next week!

We also have a new ghost series by award winning author, Cornelia Funke.

Rugby League fans will be pleased that Michael Panckridge has released the third title in his ‘Legends of League’ series, called ‘On the whistle’. Look out for it shortly!
