And he's very good at sport. Buddy is an account of six weeks in the spring he turns thirteen, and in hi s candid, humorous, narrative he reveals the real Josh - a sensitive, likeable but troubled boy, who has made an art form of seeming just like everyone else and keeping the warring elements of his life safely apart. Like his dad's new relationship with his live-in partner Suzanne... like the intense rivalry between himself and Hank Hunter, the school golden boy . . . like his intense fear of water. And his biggest, most painful secret of all. . .

And it makes you cry.Vicky Jones was born in Zambia, and lived for many years in South Africa, where she worked as a gemmologist after completing her degree at the University of Cape Town.

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne

$6.00 NZD

Category: Fiction | Reading Level: very good

The story of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas is very difficult to describe. Usually we give some clues about the book on the cover, but in this case we think that would spoil the reading of the book. We think it is important that you start to read without knowing what it is about. If you do start to read this book, you will go on a journey with a nine-year-old boy called Bruno. (Though this isn't a book for nine-year-olds.) And sooner or later you will arrive with Bruno at a fence. We hope you never have to cross such a fence. ...Show more

Category: Fiction | Series: The Illuminae Files | Reading Level: very good

The year is 2575, and two rival mega-corporations are at war over a planet that's little more than an ice-covered speck at the edge of the universe.
