I teach Year 4 and two absolute favourites of me and my whole class the last few years were The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tullane- and absolutely stunning book and Podkin One Ear. My class were absolutely hooked by both

I think Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane is the most Marmite book I’ve ever come across. People who love it, really love it. I really didn’t.
Podkin One Ear is great. More peril than I was expecting from the cute stuffed bunny promotions in our local bookshop. If you imagine Game of Thrones for kids, but with rabbits, it’s not far off.

Check out the author John Fardell

I found a really good kids book recently. Total luck finding it. It’s by an author called Rik Ashton and it’s called ‘Charlie Barker and the secret of Langdon Academy’. I’m assuming a new writer as I can’t find any other stories by him.

Was well written and my boys loved it. Would recommend.
