GRASS
Grass by Cathy MacPhail - a review by Ashley M.
I really enjoyed reading Grass by Cathy MacPhail. It is all about a boy called Leo who lives on a council estate and witnesses a murder committed by one of the gang leaders called Armour. Armour tells him to keep his mouth shut, scared stiff he does and disastrous consequences follow… Leo becomes Armour's “boy”, becomes aggressive and because of this he loses his best friend and a girl whom he fancied. A gripping and highly recommended read!

THE VAMPIRE... a scary poem by 2 Library Club Members !
I am walking through the city
on a dark and dreary night
who knew that on this day I would get an awful fright
So I’m walking down an alleyway
When I catch a glimpse of white
Of course, it is this small figure
Who is lurking in the night
She smiles a bloodcurdling smile
and stares for awhile
She crouches, sitting, ready to jump
My heart just goes THUMP, THUMP, THUMP
She then swiftly pounces
Hands curled like claws
all you can hear is shuffling
as she opens her smiling jaws
Her fangs are agleam
As I scream a gut wrenching scream
Reality fades away
Along with the light of day
Abandoning her prey
is not what this Vampire would do
all night you should pray
she does not come back for…YOU!
THE ENEMY!
Miss McIlroy is reading The Enemy by the awesome Charlie Higson!
It is all about zombies - the virus doesn’t apply to children below the age of 15, so the children have to do without the adults. It’s a fantastic read, unless you scare too easily!!

Mrs Bain – Business Education has read The Country Girls by Edna O’Brien
This is a coming-of-age tale about a girl growing up in 1960's Ireland who is sent away to a convent. She learns how to behave properly, dreams of spreading her wings and ends up in the bright lights of Dublin.
Yes, it is a good book for a lady to read… Perhaps not for boys!
Emma (3W) has read Gone by Michael Grant
Gone is about a small town in California where in a blink of an eye everyone over the age of 15 disappears and no-one knows why. The town is cut off from the outside world, chaos rules the streets, gangs and sides are chosen. Some of the people have mutant powers and the animals have gone wild.
Yes, I would definitely recommend this book to people as it is a very exciting novel!
