Year 8 have chosen some great titles via our Virtual Library - here's part of today's delivery. It makes tutor time such a lovely part of the day! Year 9, you'll be getting your log on details this week so watch this space!

'Joe and Becca uncover a deadly secret. A lethal bioweapon is about to be unleashed. Millions will suffer a terrible death.

Now they are being hunted down.

And their problems have only just begun ...'.

[Neston High Library @NestonHSlibrary]

Next up, from Matt Dickinson, we have 'Lie Kill Walk Away', another genre crossing YA novel.

'Thousands of miles south of the island of Bliss, day and night last for 72 hours. Here is one of the natural wonders of this world: a whirlpool thirty miles wide and a hundred miles around. This is the Drain. Anything sucked into its frothing, waters is never seen again.'

1/1 Starting with the best job of the week! Shelving the new arrivals from the wonderful @CheshireELS. First up is 'Edgeland' by Jake Halpern and Peter Kujawinski. But where to shelve? Fantasy? Action? Sci-Fi? Adventure?....

[Neston High Library @NestonHSlibrary]

Exciting times! The first classroom delivery of our click and collect service using @Capita_RC happened today. We are rolling out to the whole of yr7 next week so we hope to be very busy! Get reserving!

[Cheshire Education Library Service @CheshireELS]

[Neston High Library @NestonHSlibrary]

If I've forgotten anyone please let me know and I'm sorry!!

[Neston High Library @NestonHSlibrary]

I'm sad I can't say thanks to them in person, but a huge thank you to the awesome @high_neston library assistants: Noah, Maddie, Isabel, Patricia, Erin, Dale, Joe and my newbies, Bridget, Harriet, Sam, Jason and Alicia.

[Neston High Library @NestonHSlibrary]

You all helped me settle in from day one, and as I think it soon became obvious, I'd have been lost without you! Have a wonderful summer, get some ace reading done, and I'll see your smiling faces in September.

Today's spotlight shines on #Viper by @bexhogan...a twisty, turny, Gothicky style read that leaves you guessing until the very last moment (and beyond!). Follow this thread for an interview with the author and more...

[Cheshire Education Library Service @CheshireELS]

All hands on deck! @bexhogan, the next author from the #CheshireSchoolsBookAward2020 shortlist, has created an immersive world of magic & revenge in her debut novel #Viper.

[Neston High Library @NestonHSlibrary]

The next nomination is #TheTwistedTree by @RachelABurge. There are SO many things we loved about this, from the alliterative title to the atmospheric cover illustration. And it's *super* spooky in places! Follow this thread for more info including an interview with the author...

[Cheshire Education Library Service @CheshireELS]

The first of today's featured authors from the #CheshireSchoolsBookAward2020 shortlist is @RachelABurge with her Nordic chiller, #TheTwistedTree. Tense, atmospheric and shot through with Norse myth, The Twisted Tree will appeal to readers looking for the unexpected...

[Neston High Library @NestonHSlibrary]

And finally, we have Abbie B as the solo @AccReader Gold Millionaire! That's THREE MILLION words read. Abbie, you are a good'un. Well done X 3,000,000.

[Neston High Library @NestonHSlibrary]

If possible even more proud of the @AccReader SILVER MILLIONAIRES (that's TWO MILLION words read!): Heidi, Tom S, Ash, Max, Joe QS and Maddie. Take a bow, you awesome lot!

[Neston High Library @NestonHSlibrary]

Beyond proud at the final count of @AccReader millionaires at @high_neston. Ryan, Joe, Isobel, Luc, Eliot, Noah, Laura C, Jason, Imogen, Rob, Yiannis, Reuben, Isobel, Callum, Fraser, Erin and Hollie...you are all superstars!

[Neston High Library @NestonHSlibrary]

Next under the microscope is @FletcherMoss's #Payback. The tagline 'They take from the rich to give the the poor' should give you a clue about its Robin Hood-esque plot line but think grittier. Follow this thread for more insights.

[Cheshire Education Library Service @CheshireELS]

... M.A. Griffin! @FletcherMoss's #Payback is a fast-moving and cinematic adventure that updates Robin Hood's 'take from the rich, give to the poor' motto, channeling it through a world of social media & corporate greed. #CheshireSchoolsBookAward2020

[Neston High Library @NestonHSlibrary]

@simonjamesgreen @CheshireELS Yes that's perfect! Thank you!

[Neston High Library @NestonHSlibrary]

@simonjamesgreen @CheshireELS Ooh yes please! The cover is lovely! (As is the book of course).
