A Library of Lemons by Jo Cotterill – Book of the Week


I have chosen one of the new books for this week’s Book of the Week
 – a wonderful, warm story which I read over the Easter holidays. A Library of Lemons is all about the power of friendship and how important it is to look after one another.

Calypso usually keeps her head buried in a book – but when a new girl joins her class who also loves reading and writing, it sparks a close and special friendship. Mae’s home is busy, lively and noisy, just like her – and Calypso loves spending time there.

Since her mother died Calypso’s dad has grown distant, and keeps to himself. But when she discovers the sad secret hidden in her father’s library, she realises that something is very wrong.
