New Books in the Library – Wink Poppy Midnight by April Genevieve Tucholke
New in the library is this gorgeously covered and eerily atmospheric story about the interlinked lives of three young adults and the terrible secret they share.
Every story needs a hero.
Every story needs a villain.
Every story needs a secret.
Wink, Poppy, Midnight.
Two girls, one boy, one summer, one bad thing. What really happened?
Someone knows.
Someone is lying.
New Books in the Library – Dark Lord: The Teenage Years by Jamie Thomson
New in the Library this week, the hilariously silly Dark Lord: The Teenage Years by Jamie Thomson.
Meet the Dark Lord. Fear his mood swings!
Greetings, puny human! I am the Dark Lord. You may call me Master.

Mwa ha ha!
Cover Art – Judging a book by the cover
One of my library team showed me that when you put the three Josephine Angelini WorldWalker novels together, the covers form one picture. Isn’t it clever, and gorgeous?

Everyone needs a good laugh now and again, so I bought some new joke books. I hope I’m still finding them funny once I’ve heard them a few times… The joke books are on the big spinner in the Quick Reads section – enjoy!
New Books in the Library – Time Travelling with a Hamster by Ross Welford
I suppose if you’d asked me before, I’d have said a time machine might look something like a submarine? Or perhaps a space rocket.
Instead. I’m looking at a laptop and a tin tub from a garden centre.
This is my dad’s time machine.
And it’s about to change the world.
Well, mine, at any rate”
Al Chaudhury has a chance to save his dad’s life – but to do it he must travel to 1984…

New Books in the Library – School Blues by Daniel Pennec
New in the staff library – Daniel Pennac’s School Blues is perhaps slightly lighter reading than some of the other material there!
Daniel Pennac has never forgotten what it was like to be a dunce. Neither has he forgotten the day one an inspirational teacher saved his life by assigning him the task of writing a novel, the moment when Pennac realized that no-one has to be a failed student for ever.
In this humane and humorous reflection on education, Pennac engages with his past self – as both pupil and teacher – to understand how fear can make children reject education and hoe inventive thinking and inspired teaching can lure them back.
Applying all the wit and ventriloquism of a renowned comic novelist, he enacts the dialogue shared between pupils, parents and teachers the world over, and unpicks the cycles of blame and neglect that leave struggling students adrift in a faltering system.
