I hope everyone is having a safe and enjoyable holiday. It has been a very busy term with many wonderful book reviews completed by the students at Richmond Primary School.
A reminder if any students, parents or caregivers find an interesting book suitable for our library, please feel free to take the details and give it to me on your return to school.
Graphic Novels
We are introducing a new Genre into our school library. Graphic Novels are cartoon drawings that tell a story and are published as a book.
Graphic novels are only available to year 5 and year 6 as some novels have some young adult themes and are not suitable for the younger children.
With the busy lifestyle today, these graphic novels give readers the advantages to enjoy a novel in a reduced format.
Some titles we have acquired are:-
The Invisible Man, A Campfire Graphic Novel by H. G. Wells.
One of the most gripping of H.G. Wells' science-fiction sagas, The Invisible Man is the story of a brilliant young scientist who impetuously experiments upon himself
CHERUB: The Recruit Graphic Novel by Robert Muchamore.
The first book in Muchamore's popular, long-running CHERUB series gets the graphic novel treatment. With a short temper, broken home life, and knack for getting into trouble, 11-year-old James Choke is on the fast track to delinquency.
Amulet - The stone keeper
Amulet is a graphic novel series illustrated and written by Kazu Kibuishi and published by Scholastic. It follows the adventures of Emily, a young girl who discovers a magical amulet in her great-grandfather's house.
The Christmas Carol
This is the classic novel brought to life in full colour! 'I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future'. Classical Comics' first Dickens title is probably his best-loved story. Scrooge gets a rude awakening to how his life is, and how it should be.
If any there are any queries please come into the library and check out our new range of Graphic Novels.
