Ive wanted a good book about time travel and @jenrosebell has given me a story I could sink my teeth in to. Wonderscape is brill- so twisty. I couldn’t guess where it was going next! The best bits of Ready Player One and Jumanji all together- a classy read 👌🏼travel with wonder!

May have to try this book out then... 👀

[Mr Morgan 📚 @MrD_Morgan]

I think this is the first fiction book I’ve read set in the Stone Age and it has blown my expectations out of the water. Full of adventure and a truly heartfelt story... kudos @KirtleySophie you may have made me shed a tear or three... 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@SummerhillReads I read (and thoroughly enjoyed) The Guardians by John Christopher as recommended by @MrFSummerhill. Now I'm rereading Jane Eyre.

I’m pretty stocked up on a reading list... can anyone recommend any TV shows to watch?

People of Summerhill! I will be reading a chapter of a book every day and recording it as part of a virtual book group. If you would like to become part of this, send me a message with your school email attached so I can send you the recordings! 📚📖📚

[Mr Morgan 📚 @MrD_Morgan]

Wherever you look at the moment you see the same news, the same rumours, the same panic. It isn't healthy to keep seeing so much negativity. Obviously I would recommend reading, but now more than ever, you need to escape from social media and get into a book.

Stay safe.

Grief is a difficult concept to come to terms with, but CS Lewis, the famous author of the Narnia series, details his own personal loss in A Grief Observed, written in 1961. Raw, heartfelt and yet intriguing, this short essay is certainly worth reading through. #readforpleasure

[Summerhill Reads @SummerhillReads]

A truly festive reinterpretation of a classic: The Snowman, originally written by Raymond Briggs and now by Michael Morpurgo is today’s recommendation. Perfect to get you into the Christmas spirit! #readingforpleasure
