Girls really like Jacqueline Wilson’s books, they are easy, funny, real life stories about family and friendship and everyday problems. I’ve just bought Jacky Daydream, her autobiography (in the Knowledge area 92 WIL). http://www.randomhouse.co.uk/childrens/jacquelinewilson/home.htm


You all love the Tomorrow series, by John Marsden and I make sure the library has several copies of each of the 7 books of the serie: "Tomorrow, When The War Began", "The Dead of the Night", "The Third Day, The Frost", "Darkness, Be My Friend", "Burning For Revenge", "The Night is for Hunting" and "The Other Side of Dawn". Follows the lives of a group of Australian Teenagers as they struggle to respond to the surprise invasion and conquest of their country… Once you have finished the serie, you can follow the teenagers’ lives back in peace, in the Ellie Chronicles. http://www.johnmarsden.com.au/home.html


What the list of your favourite books also says is that you love funny books, so I’ll make sure the library gets more books of this genre.
