Book of the Week for Older Children

Back to News
3rd Jul 2021

This week’s recommendation comes from Mr Barratt and is called ‘When the Sky Falls’ by Philip Earle.

 

Mr Barratt writes:

It is 1940 and the war is raging across Europe and the world. The enemy is on the doorstep and Joseph has been packed off to stay with Mrs F, a gruff woman who does not like children.

As the bombs start to fall on British cities, Joseph focuses on protecting a gorilla called Adonis, in this tense and exciting thriller, based on a true story. A fantastic read! I loved it!
