Bottisham Book Club

 

 

The Bottisham Book Club meets every Tuesday Lunchtime in Room 17 between 13.30 and 13.55 and is open to all year groups. It will be run by Mrs Lawton and Miss Ceranic.

 

Each week we discuss a topic such as: Summer Reading, favourite cover, most disappointing ending to a book, character we would most like to be, most effective villain or a different genre we like.

 

In the summer term we are always involved in Shadowing the Carnegie Award or writing reviews for the Guardian Fiction Prize.

 

There are special events at the end of each term.

 

 

Book of the month: September 2008

Book of the month for September 2008: Blood Ties by Sophie McKenzie

'Blood Ties' by Sophie McKenzie

 

Suitability: Recommended 14+

 

Having said a very sad farewell to Mrs Goslow at the end of last term, I am delighted to take on the responsibility for the book club and the book of the month. My first choice is a fast –action paced thriller that had me transfixed from beginning to end.

‘Blood Ties is the latest book by Sophie McKenzie. It follows the lives of two teenagers from completely different backgrounds, who are suddenly thrown together. Theo and Rachel then unite to foil the plans of an extremist group who are determined to silence them. In the process they discover their true identities and make startling discoveries about their past. As well as being a compulsive read; this book raises all sorts of issues about identity and cloning.
