Our October Book of the Month
The Bus On Thursday
by Shirley Barrett
by Shirley Barrett
Dean: I was extremely excited to read Shirley Barrett's new book as I unexpectantly adored her debut Rush-Oh. This couldn't be further from Rush-Oh's historic heart but I can say it is just as good, actually I think it's even better! This book is a scream! It's both psychological scary and really off-beat funny. An unusual mix but it works so well, think Bridget Jones meets The Shining.
When Eleanor's cancer goes into remission she takes a teaching job in Talbingo, a rmeote town in the Snowy Mountains that's a little bit creepy. Everyone adored the teacher she is replacing. Eleanor isn't going to fill Miss Barker's shoes and she doesn't even try to, especially when the demons come knocking at her door - literally. Offbeat, strange, a little bit scary but also quirky and funny this is a great read to dive into and devour. So very good, I loved it!
Our October Kids' Book of the Month
By John Bond
Mandy: Mini Rabbit is baking a cake with Mother Rabbit. Mini Rabbit LOVES cake, like, REALLY loves cake, and is devastated to find they've run out of berries. No berries, no cake. No Way! So that determined little rabbit sets off on a quest, taking the wrong path in the woods and ending up just a little bit lost. A long way from home.
But look, there are berries! Oh no, what's that lurking at the back of the cave....? Just in the nick of time, the smell of baking cake guides our little adventurer safely home. This debut picture book is a real charmer, absolutely delightful, and little ones will thrill to discover there are berries on every page.
