Books of the Week

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

A more hopeful and uplifting tone in this new title from Anthony McGowan in contrast to some of his previous books such as Lark. Kyle has to stay with his slightly odd grandad one afternoon, and is introduced to the beck - the stream - near his house. It had been polluted and ugly, but was now thriving and as Kyle learns more about the wildlife in the beck, and his relationship with his grandad blossoms, he finds a new love and appreciation for the natural world.

There are some great flashes of humour - look out for grandad's Elvis impersonator wig! Friendships are made, relationships forged and made stronger, and when the beck is threatened by a potential new warehouse development, Kyle finds inner strength to stand up for what he believes is right. It's a quick read, but there's a lot of depth and the potential for discussion and thoughtful book chat is high, which would make is an ideal class read. Very good.

"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
