Choosing the right book

It can be hard to choose a book , so there are a number of things in the library to help students with this.

Posters provided in the documents section below, suggest books that students might like to try based on others they have enjoyed.

Our ever-evolving 'If you liked...' list also makes recommendations based on other books.

 

Our genre packs collate recommended books by genre and show the cover of the book as well as the blurb, so that students can look at this without having to pick up the books themselves:
