Books of the Week

Our librarians and children's book specialists' highest rated titles of the week.

The illustrations are detailed and really encapsulate the time period/key aspects of the war brilliantly. We also get a strong flavour of daily living (including fun moments) and the way in which ordinary people demonstrated true resilience. There is enough text to keep engaged but not enough to overwhelm and coupled with the plentiful illustrations make this good for KS2 reluctant readers and would also be great for discussion. The author is working on the next instalment which continues the story of this family’s war experience and is centred around being an evacuee. A solid read, beautiful book production and well worth the money.

"The library that Peters designed for us is perfect for our school. The students have been very excited by our new space, and often comment on how calm it feels. There is a real buzz around the library now, which wasn't there before."

Danielle Rose - Librarian , The Streetly Academy

"I would order with Peters every time. We have made several large orders in the last few years, completely replacing all our library books and they have made it so easy and exciting with a wonderful range of books. They are helpful, timely and brilliantly organised. I cannot recommend them highly enough!"

Caroline Urrutia - Literacy Coordinator, First Tower School, Jersey

"We have had a big drive on Reading for Pleasure and with the brilliant support of Peters we have been very successful in developing a Reading for Pleasure culture in school. So many more children are able to talk about favourite authors and make suggestions to each other about what to read next."

Katie Hutchison - Reading Leader, Scraptoft Valley Primary

"Peters took the time to understand our brief and really get to know the needs of our pupils. They then put together a wonderfully diverse and inclusive range of books so our pupils can see themselves reflected, read the classics, read a book in their home language. We now have a library that is just right for our pupils and will be a place where reading is loved!"

Rebecca Eaton - Headteacher, Conway Primary School, Birmingham
