Choosing the Right Book for You

Our Librarian, Mrs Parker, is a wonderful source of information and advice on choosing appropriate and interesting books.

Along with our wide range of standard books, we also have Dyslexia Friendly Books, which use appropriate fonts, paper etc, A list of these can be found on the right.

To the right of the page are Student Book Reviews of some of the titles available in our LRC. Students have used these to share favourite books with their peers, giving a brief overview of the plot and also explaning why others might enjoy it.

There are also a number of websites that have been specially created with teens in mind and are ideal places to pick up ideas for reading recommendations from like-minded teens.
