Bob's Booktalks

Captivated audience

The wonderful Bob Docherty, visited Bluestone on Friday to work his magic on our students by introducing them to the very best books for children and young adults.  Bob is so good at this that the students are begging for the books and finding it hard to wait for them to arrive.  The most popular request so far is for a book called Wonder by RJ Palacio.  Mrs Ross has managed to borrow a copy from the public library and is enjoying the story.  It's written with quite short chapters and is easy to read.  The main character is August, a boy with a severe facial disfigurement who is sent to school at the age of ten.  The story also allows us to get to know his sister Olivia who has had to put up with quite a lot having a brother like Auggie.
