Book Review

The London Eye Mystery by Siobhan Dowd ISBN 9780440868026

Ted [12] and sister Cat [older] watch as their cousin Salim boards the London Eye. They track the sealed pod as it travels around and when the doors open at the end and people exit Salim has vanished. Brother and sister come together as they try to make sense of what has happened and find their cousin.

A great mystery! Suitable for older primary children upwards. Ted is telling this story and he has Asperger Syndrome so we get an insight into how his brain works differently.

I thoroughly enjoyed this as did my year 6 boy.

Cathy again
I want to subscribe to some more mags for the library and am wondering which magazines your libraries have.

We already do NZ Conservation Club, Upstart, Scientriffic, Kidz Mag and Kids National Geographic.
Would love your thoughts.

Don't laugh

Hi Team

You too can look as silly. Amazing thing was I didn't feel silly and the children just adored the change every day. This week I had the preschoolers and juniors ask me "Who are you today?" when I was dressed in my normal clothes. For the record I was The Very Hungry Caterpillar and The Best Loved Bear.

I am happy to hire out the caterpillar costume, and thought I could charge $10.00 which would pay for drycleaning. I have the bear's hat too but hired the body of the bear costume from First Scene, Kingsland.
