A new School Book Club has started and this month's book is "The Dead" by Charlie Higson. Any student can join. Discussions will be held in the Library and on StratfordMoodle.

The Dead - Charlie HigsonThis month's book is "The Dead" by Charlie Higson. According to teenreads.com, "The Dead is the second book in Charlie Higson's terrifying and action-packed horror series, in which everyone over the age of 16 has been infected with a disease that turns them into flesh-eating monsters."

Every month the School Book Club will have a different book for students to read. If you like the look of the book, get a free copy from the Library. You have a month to read it. Every month we'll meet in the Library to chat about what we thought of the book. The discussion is also continued on Stratfordmoodle in the Library folder where you can see videos of the author's reading excerpts from their books.
