The Maze Runner by James Dashner
Review by Storm, Y9
The Maze is a terrifying place, to which a number of teenage boys have been mysteriously transported. They have no memory of their former lives and no idea why they are in The Maze. The boys stay in the safety of a central area called The Glade, but every day “runners” go into the Maze to attempt to map it and find an exit. However, if they don’t make it back to the Glade by nightfall, they risk being trapped in the Maze and killed by the violent, mechanical monsters that patrol it.
Why do I recommend this book?
I recommend this book because it’s really adventurous and at the same time kind of scary.
What do I rate this book
I rate this book a 5 out of 5. It really encouraged me to read more of these types of books…I’m definitely going to read Maze Runner 2 (The Scorch Trials)

Speedy Book Blog: Nevermoor, The Trials of Morrigan Crow by Jessica Townsend
Speedy Book Blog by Rosie, Year 5
It’s exciting, intriguing and mysterious. The main character is Morrigan Crow. When the mysterious Jupiter North whisks her to Nevermoor, Morrigan needs to complete four trials to be able to enter the Wondrous Society. If not, the Hunt of Smoke and Shadow will have no mercy…
I highly recommend it, especially to Harry Potter fans.
New Year, New Books
We think Father Christmas must have visited our library while he was doing his rounds on Christmas Eve.
Look at these fab new books!
They’re already proving very popular with our readers.
Happy New Year, Readers!
Reading Starts Young
You’re never too young to start enjoying a book. And the younger you start, the better.
Even tiny people can learn to turn pages and enjoy looking at the pictures.
Research shows us children of ALL ages appreciate a good book being read aloud (and so do adults, if we’re honest). Just look at the rapt expressions on these faces!
To see more details about how we encourage our little ones to enjoy books and reading , go to the Elian’s Early Years Blog.
Even More Books!
We shared our library with the book fair, English Libros today.
Look at all these wonderful books!
There were a lot of happy customers who couldn’t wait to read their new purchases.
The hardest thing is which one to choose!
Welcome to our blog about books!
We love our library at Elian’s La Nucía. 
It was created in its current form in October 2018 and was an instant hit.
In our library, we have a few computers for our school ICT tasks and research; some tables and chairs for studying; beanbags for lounging in (very popular, these) and, best of all, hundreds and hundreds of BOOKS!
With this blog, we aim to share some of our favourite reads and other book-related activities.
We hope you enjoy it!
