A Quiet Girl by Peter Carnavas

This gorgeous book made all the hairs on my neck stand up. It sent little chills everywhere. But good ones. A Quiet Girl, by Peter Carnavas is so very beautiful. We need kids like Mary to force us to be quiet and still and notice the small things. Mary is a quiet girl who notices […]

‘Let’s read Morris the Mole again, Mum!’ shouts Mr 6 at bedtime, for the third night in a row. ‘Yes! Let’s read Morris the Mole!’ I agree, equally enthusiastically.
