Fri rec @StroudHigh is 'The Power' by Naomi Alderman. This thoroughly absorbing novel about our potential future should a unexpected development give women a decisive power advantage is thrilling, disturbing, thought-provoking and ends entirely too quickly!

It's the half term break, so I'm probably tucked up somewhere reading a (rather large) stack of books ready to recommend more @StroudHigh, so this week the question is: what would you recommend? Share it with friends, family and store it up to share at school next week!

[SHS Library @StroudHighLib]

Fri rec @StroudHigh: this week 'We Should All be Feminists' by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Quick, thought-provoking read from a personal perspective on feminism, gender equality and underlying bias.

[SHS Library @StroudHighLib]

@SHSPolitics @StroudHigh @english_shs Another fantastic book series to read as well!

[SHS Library @StroudHighLib]

Fri rec is 'Animal Farm' by George Orwell @StroudHigh @english_shs @SHSPolitics. Short, quick read but one that leaves you questioning motives and power. Orwell imagines a scenario where farm animals, tired of working for the farmer, decide to collaborate for the good of all...

[SHS Library @StroudHighLib]

Fri rec @StroudHigh @ChemistrySHS is 'The Infinite Lives of Maisie Day' by @edgechristopher. It's Maisie's birthday, so where is everyone? And what's wrong with the world? Blends a fantastic story seamlessly with scientific theory to create the most amazing book & the twist!!

[SHS Library @StroudHighLib]

Fri rec @StroudHigh @ChemistrySHS 'How to Win a Nobel Prize' by Prof. Barry Marshall - shortlisted for @royalsociety #YoungSciBooks award. Fab adventure of a girl given the opportunity to meet a range of Nobel Prize winning scientists & get their advice on scientific discoveries!

[SHS Library @StroudHighLib]

Fri rec @StroudHigh @ChemistrySHS: 'Stargazing for Beginners' by @JennyMcLachlan1. The story of Meg who dreams of space & hears of a competition with the prize of a trip to NASA - but can she even enter? Friendship, families, competition, romance, drama, science - all in 1 book.

@AimeeLucido @StroudHigh @ComputingSHS Thank you for writing it - I truly did enjoy reading it and will continue to recommend it to everyone I can! I also look forward to reading more of your books!!!

[SHS Library @StroudHighLib]

Fri rec @StroudHigh @ComputingSHS: 'In the Key of Code' by @AimeeLucido -Emmy longs to be musical but isn't & a move cross-country leaves her feeling even more awkward-then then she discovers coding and things begin to come together. Lyrical, perspective-changing verse novel!

[SHS Library @StroudHighLib]

Fri book review
@StroudHigh: 'Now or Never' by @balirai WWII and Dunkirk is seen through the eyes of a young soldier. This is the story of Fazal, an Indian recruit and is touching, thrilling, challenging & certainly stays with you long after the final page.

[SHS Library @StroudHighLib]

@tompalmerauthor @StroudHigh It's a pleasure - it really was a phenomenal book and 'After the War' is in my TBR pile right now. Thank you for bringing the stories to life.

[SHS Library @StroudHighLib]

Fri Book Review @StroudHigh: today is @tompalmerauthor's 'Armistice Runner' -A powerful interweaving of past and present as Lily questions her future as a competitive fell runner and discovers just how important it was to her family in WWI. Beautifully told and inspirational!
