Y10: …Caged Bird…by Maya Angelou is the first in her series of autobiographical accounts. This book is blisteringly honest, hauntingly emotional and lyrically poetic. A must read! (Caution: mature themes and events discussed) @CyresYr10
We have loved meeting our new classes for the year! We are starting to introduce our class texts too. We have copies for students, but if you want your own to annotate or keep and cherish forever then they are as follows:
Y9: …Curious Incident… by Mark Haddon explores the world through the lens of a boy with Asperger’s syndrome. Such a unique storytelling voice, and a great first book on our list @CyresYr9
