Divergent (Veronica Roth)

This book has proved a popular novel among our Year 10as and 11s. Lots of people have told me I need to read it. I was intrigued to learn more about the main character Tris and enjoyed seeing how she coped with being 'Divergent' and not fitting into any of the "human virtues" groups in this dystopian future.
A brilliant read for those who like 'The Hunger Games'.

# data[].attributes.body
I read this book quite recently and it has managed to make its way up to one of my absolute favorite crime solving and murder mystery books.
This is one of those books that has you hooked from the first page and makes you want to keep reading until you finish it.
The protagonist in this book -Pip- has a school project to do and she picks a missing person's case. The case was closed as the police presumed that the girl who went missing was dead and her killer commit suicide. Pip does not believe this so she decides to try and solve the murder herself.
She has adventures, near death experience and friendship drama all because of a murder.

And Then There Were None (Agatha Christie)

I really enjoyed some of the technical aspects of the writing. The language changes to fit the mannerisms of the character being focused upon.

This book makes me think of a chess match - the characters are all set up like chess pieces, with an unknown player working behind the scenes, moving them and manipulating them. And, just like a chess match, pieces fall. It's very intriguing.  Who are these people? Who is the person behind the scenes?
As Sherlock Holmes says...the game's afoot! It does not end until the very last page - a must read for those who enjoy crime novels.

This book is amazing, full of cool and sometimes scary facts about the world we live in and the waste we create. Science is a fabulous tool with some truly ingenious thoughts on how to help tackle climate change - all detailed in this book. If you care about the planet, like I do and hate to see the destruction we are causing - this is a great read.

Concrete Rose (Angie Thomas)

This book only came out this year. When it first arrived in the library it quickly got snapped up. A year 9 student recommended the book to me saying "Miss, you have to read it!". I've started reading it and so far I'm enjoying it. The style of writing took a little getting used to - Angie Thomas once again using a narrative voice reflective of the young, black, American protagonist. This book is not suitable for younger readers due to some of the content however older readers will love this book.
