This booklet has some ideas to keep you reading over

the summer. Don’t forget that you can always join up to

the Public Library’s Summer Reading Challenge to read

six books over the holidays—if you do you get goodies

after each book to keep you going! The theme this year

is “Creepy House” - but not all the books have to be

creepy!

A great adventure story. Here’s a bit of the blurb:

“Humans are the enemy!

That's what Rick's been taught to believe by the Fey Folk who stole

him. Taken to the magical realm of Avalon, he's been trained -

alongside other kids like him - into an elite force of warriors.”

A spooky, quirky thriller.

Set in the era of silent films, the

plot centres around a film

maker and his ancestral

home—and the ghosts that live

there!

A re-telling of the original

story about a man who

finds the secret of life and

creates a monster. A very

exciting read.

Not a book for

the faint-hearted!

Takes a grotty

look at what lurks

in our homes—

from snot to

maggots!

While the weather is nice

get outside and see what

animals you can spot

using the tips in this book.

Nicely laid out with lots of

photographs and

diagrams.

Although perhaps less likely

to encounter the animals in

this book over the summer, it

provides an entertaining and

interesting read. Has lots of

facts and statistics.

Meet Mowgli, Baloo

and the other

creatures of the

Jungle in this retelling

of the classic tale.

Then watch the film

and decide which is

best!

Described as a “fast moving

readable thriller. Clever plot” on a

book buying website. The plot follows

two siblings and their encounter with

a machine that can travel in time

and bring living creatures back. But

things start to spiral out of control...

A wonderful book. Very funny, vibrant

and warm. The story of a child’s family

who move from England to Corfu and

the things and animals they encounter.

An interesting read,

the first one is also

good, both with

nice illustrations.

Why not find a book that gives you

ideas about projects and things to

do? Make a bird box, recycle

something, or do some gardening.

Nicki organises the holiday camp,

which everyone is looking forward

to, but things start to go wrong—

can the other fairies help Nicki to

rescue holiday camp?

One to read with your

parents—the classic story

of friends who spend their

holidays boating on a

lake. Try if you like

adventure stories about

groups of friends eg The

Secret Seven.

Even if you’re not

going anywhere,

reading a book

about other places

can be interesting

and exciting. Where

are the places you

want to go most?

And least?

Why not try reading some

poems? These fun poems

are based on the theme

of holidays. They are great

if you don’t have much

time, or like long stories.

This book looks at what

holidays used to look

like. How does yours

compare? Don’t forget

to take photos of your

holiday.

Jaz and Toni go on a

camping trip, but things

don’t go to plan, when the

river bursts it’s banks. An

exciting survival adventure

story.

A funny book about two

friends who go to the beach

together. Things get

interesting when their

enemies turn up at the

beach too!

The original story of Peter

Pan is a wonderful and

exciting story. Four

children go with Peter to

explore Neverneverland,

and they meet lots of

different characters on

their way.

Fans of Harry Potter might like

this book. It’s set in a land

where anything can happen,

and after being turned into an

old lady by a witch Sophie has

to go and seek her fortune...

This is a brilliant story. Given the

freedom of the public library this

story follows Matilda as she explores

the world available to her and

becomes better and more

powerful because of it.

One of my personal favourites!

It’s exciting and funny with

characters you won’t forget in a

hurry. From 2 points of view—

Artemis’ and the well trained

high tech fairy he’s up against.

A popular series books,

which follows the

Baudelaire children

through a range of

adventures as they try to

manage by themselves—

which they do with great

success!

This is a book that shows freedom from

expectations. It is a book with no words. The

illustrations are beautiful, and the story is

incredible. It is quite hard, but worth picking

up and having a look at.

This is a wonderful story that follows

Auggie through his first year at big school,

though he has something extra to

overcome. This story shows the freedom

that can come from taking the things you

are afraid of head on, and winning!
