Book of the Week

A new term, and a new book as Book of the Week!



This week's new addition is The Midnight Zoo by Sonya Hartnett.  The book was shortlisted for the 2012 CILIP Carnegie medal, a prestigious prize for children's writers.

From the blurb:

'Under cover of darkness, two brothers cross a war-ravaged countryside carrying a secret bundle. One night, they stumble across a deserted town reduced to smouldering ruins...but at the end of a blackened street, they find a small green miracle: a zoo filled with animals in need of hope.'

Particularly good if you like a historical novel or an adventure story, snap it up before someone else does!
