Kill Shakespeare

A great slant on the old favourites - all of your favourite Shakespearean bad guys are here - and on the same team - trying to kill the 'evil god-like' Shakespeare.

The opposing forces, led by Lady Juliet, Othello and Falstaff (in Episode 1) are trying top overthrow the wicked King Richard who has joined forces with a newly 'widowed' Lady Macbeth.

Not quite sure where Iago and Hamlet stand at the moment - all to be revealed.

FAB graphics! Great story line! Fun humour...

The project - Brian Falkner

I am a great fan of Falkner's writing - I loved Brain Jack and the Tomorrow Code , however
The Project takes a look back in time as opposed to taking us into the future!

When Tommy and Luke are set a challenge of reading the 'most boring book in the world' they do not realise the adventure is about to begin. The story takes them into the scientific world of Leonardo da Vinci and a book that could change the world forever. Luckily only one copy of this book was ever published - but there are people who will stop at nothing to get it!

Fast paced action blended with a little historical knowledge and Falkner's science fiction trademark slant!

Room - Emma Donaghue

A 5yr old child, Jack, narrates the story of his life locked away with his mother in 'the room'. In his limited world, every object is a 'friend' personified and valued - room, door, floor and so on..

Through his narrative we 'build' the picture of how and why he and his mother are where they are. Her prison is his world and she makes it so in order for him to survive.

But can they escape from the only world Jack has ever known?

Suspenseful, thought provoking reading - I had to read in one go - which wasn't difficult to do.
