What do Captain Underpants, Harry Potter and Huckleberry Finn
have in common?
They were all BANNED, BANNED, BANNED BOOKS!
Watch out for our escaped convicts/mobile libraries, they will help
you choose a banned book so you can live on the wild side!
Remember when story time was all about sitting back and relaxing
while you were read to?

hear some of our teachers read hilarious stories and dream it is Year

August at lunch for your chance to design it.
Plus, Morris Gleitzman (author of Two Weeks with the Queen, Boy
Overboard, Girl Underground, Grace, the Once series etc.) explains
to Years 6 – 9 how he’s written so many brilliant novels that they
