Hetty & the Battle of the Books Anna James, illustrated by Jez Tuya.
From the author of Pages & Co, this is a story that reunites friends over a common cause: saving the school library. The library is Hetty’s very favourite place in school, and since falling out with her best friends Ali, Mei and Rocket she’s been spending even more time there. So she’s absolutely horrified when she learns that the school is planning to close the library down, because there aren’t enough funds to keep it going.
Readers may be drawn to the story because it is about books and the importance of libraries, but this story also explores the importance of friendship, communication, and how forgiveness and understanding can make a big difference in unravelling any kind of misunderstanding.
Dyslexia-friendly layout, typeface and paperstock. Edited to a reading age of 8.
