Welcome back to the new term

We have some great new books this term. Come to the library and we can issue them out for you.
Among our new offerings are :

Race & Class in the Ruins of Empire by Akala. Those who went to the Writers Festival this year might remember hearing him speak. It is a Sunday Times Bestseller and is a potent combination of autobiography, and political history with his own experiences on race and class in Great Britian.





If you feel like something spooky we have a new book by Anthony Horowitz which features 10 sinister stories by the master of the macabre! It is called Scared to death




Five Feet Apart

Which is now a movie staring Haley Lu Richardson and Cole Sprouse. If you want a little romance mixed up with a box of tissues then this is for you. A real tear jerker!

a girl like that

A GIRL LIKE THAT starts off with a bang, as the very first chapter is the car crash that kills Zarin and another important character in the book, Porus. 

Zarin goes through awful things such as domestic abuse and sexual assault. She is seen as a girl you “don’t want to be like.” Other girls spread rumors about her, judge her and never let her into their friendship circles. Meanwhile, at home Zarin has to deal with her abusive aunt and complicit uncle, as she is an orphan.

The book is set it Saudi Arabia and is a fascinating and disturbing glance into the gender discrimination and double standards as seen through the eyes of a tennage girl.

One day, some years later, Cheryl makes the impulsive decision to hike the Pacific Crest Trail - an 1,100 mile hike on the West Coast of America. With no prior experience of long-distance hiking, and just the determination and desire to escape all the things that had shattered her life, Cheryl sets out on the trail that sees her life truly change. Wild is a story about physical challenge and spiritual discoveries, all while walking one of America's most famous and beautiful hiking trails.

Artemis Fowl the movie!

The first look at the Artemis Fowl movie is here.

The popular children’s fantasy series by Irish author Eoin Colfer has found its way to screen with Disney and director Kenneth Branagh. 

The book series follows 12 year-old criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl as he discovers the world of fairies, then, as all 12-year-old master criminals might, decides to rob them. Contrary to prior rumors, the movie will only cover the events of the first book.

The trailer only shows a brief shot of Artemis himself, instead focusing on building up his backstory. There's also a look at one of the fairies that Artemis is up against throughout the film, as a narrator explains.

Artemis Fowl comes out on Aug. 9, 2019.
