We were so excited when SAWBONES by Catherine Johnson was reprinted in the summer and our Upper 3s have loved reading it this term - it is such a fascinating and gripping read. Now they have finished reading it, they had some questions for @catwrote... @HeadingtonSch

[Headington English @HSO_English]

Thank you @catwrote for such a wonderful book, and for answering our questions!
