This was a favourite of mine as a young girl and I’m pleased to say it lost none of it’s magic this time around.
5/5
Bronte’s Story by Bronte Cullis and Steve Bibb
This is a must read for all young girls and anyone with a daughter, sister or niece.
Warning: This book is very raw and emotional and families who have been through this ordeal may find it difficult to read.
Father and Child Reunion by Warren Farrell
This book was definitely worth reading.
The Evangeline by D. W. Buffa
I don’t normally go for courtroom dramas, but this was definitely an exception. Written in an easy to read style, this book was nonetheless gripping from beginning to end.
My Story, Twentieth-Century Girl, The Diary of Flora Bonnington, London 1899-1900 by Carol Drinkwater
This book, written in diary form, tells what it would have been like as a young girl at the end of the nineteenth century.
The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult
If you can ignore the comics, The Tenth Circle is definitely worth a read.
My Story, Bloody Tower, The Diary of Tilly Middleton, London 1553-1559 by Valerie Wilding
A great way to get kids interested in History.
Round Ireland With a Fridge by Tony Hawks
Reading this book lifted my spirits and left me with a distinct desire to visit Ireland. Definitely worth reading!
The Boy on the Lake: Stories of the Supernatural by Judith Clarke
This book was written for teens but adults will enjoy it just as much.
February Dragon by Colin Thiele
Colin Thiele’s uniquely Australian writing style perfectly captures the character of the Australian bush.
Fantastic Mr Fox by Roald Dahl
Short enough to read to your kids and easy enough for beginner readers to read alone.
Pollyanna by Eleanor H Porter
Well worth giving your to kids to read.
