Hi nina
We did think about a couple of Marcus Sedgewick books for the Power of Reading Years 5/6 list - he's an author that people seem to be talking about quite a lot. One was called Floodlands - which seemed topical in the summer and another set in the South West about a wind farm. Both had strong themes and could be linked to very interesting cross curricular work on the environment - but we didn't really warm to the characters. We felt they weren't strong enough. I'll definitely read My Sword Hand is Singing - it sounds excellent.
Please keep us posted about new books.
Olivia
