Welcome to the Book Blog

Posted on September 1, 2017 by KW

On these pages you can discover ideas for books you might enjoy reading.

You can also post your own suggestions of books you have read and enjoyed for others to try.

If you post a recommendation, try to give a short review of the book and suggest who you think might like to read it (e.g. age and interests). You could also ‘rate’ the book by saying how many stars you think the book should have out of 5. Watch out for ‘spoilers’: when you describe a book, make sure you don’t give everything away so that others can enjoy the book as much as you did.

If you enjoy reading one of the books recommended on the blog, why not add a comment to the review? This will help other readers see which books are the most popular.

Which books will be the most popular this year? Will it be one you suggested?

Here’s a fun little maths game. You have to direct the laser to make it power the space ships. It involves angles and fractions to split the laser into the right number of parts and direct it to shine into the space ships. The levels start easily, but get more challenging quite quickly.
