If you love this...

                                          If you ❤ thrillers, this book is for you!

Romy Silvers is the only surviving crew-member of a spaceship travelling to a new planet, on a mission to establish a second home for humanity amongst the stars. Alone in space, she is the loneliest girl in the universe until she hears about a new ship which has launched from Earth – with a single passenger on board. A boy called J.

Their only communication with each other is via email – and due to the distance between them, their messages take months to transmit across space. And yet Romy finds herself falling in love.

But what does Romy really know about J? And what do the mysterious messages which have started arriving from Earth really mean?

Sometimes, there’s something worse than being alone . . 

A great novel from author Lauren James.

The Southern School Book Award 2019

On Friday 25th January we attended The Southern School Book award ceremony at Roedean School. Pupils had read 5 books and voted on their favourite, this was the time when we all discovered the winner as voted for by 25 schools in the Sussex area. Drum roll please...the winner was Will Hill with his popular and our favourite book 'After the fire', a book about cults, communes and tragic events inspired by the real life event in 1993 at Waco, Texas. 
Come and read it for yourself - we have a copy waiting to be taken out in the library.

So last week, I posted about Macrame in the library and how we were trying out new skills. Well here are two of the finished items, how fabulous are these? I loved making my wall hanging and I know the pupils did too, we’ve all learnt a new skill. Thanks to Bo for having the patience to teach us all. Now, what to make next...
