Class DEAR Book
Nevermoor - The trials of Morrigan Crow
By Jessica Townsend
Our second book of the year is Nevermoor. We are really excited to read this as a class after having a taster during guided reading.
Not only does Morrigan Crow's curse mean she's blamed for all bad luck, she's also destined to die on her eleventh birthday. She bravely accepts her doom, but in a very surprising twist of fate, before the clock strikes twelve on
Eventide and the howling shadow wolves arrive, she's whisked away by a remarkable man called Jupiter North and taken to the secret city of Nevermoor.
Morrigan cannot believe her luck when she's given a once-in-a-lifetime chance to join the Wundrous Society - a place of mystery, magic and protection.
Only first she must pass four impossible trials using an exceptional talent (which she doesn't have).
Racing against time, can Morrigan claim her place in this wild, wondrous city before the shadows catch up with her?
The Last Spell Breather
By Julie Pike
The last Spell Breather is our first DEAR book of Year 5! Here is a teaser of what's to come....
Spell Breathing does not come naturally to Rayne - she loathes the hours of practice, the stacks of scrolls, and the snapping mud devils that cover her mothers precious spell book.
But it is spell breathing that keeps her village safe from the dreaded monster curse that plagues their world. It is ancient powerful magic, but as Rayne learns to her horror . . . it is also fragile.
In one clumsy move, the magic that keeps them safe is broken, her village is plunged into danger, and an incredible adventure begins . . .
