Reading Champion Recommendation!

17th Nov 2024

A group of children have joined a new after-school book club with Miss D'Roza which is open to all children in Years 3-6. We will share more about this club in the next newsletter.

Part of their role is to come up with book recommendations, and the first one is from Libbi, one of the Y4 members.

  • Children of the Quicksands is set in a small village in Nigeria, Traoré’s debut novel Children of the Quicksands (2021) is a richly imagined middle-grade fantasy adventure that brims with legends, myths and magic and asks what it means to belong.It was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize 2022.
  • The author, Efua Traore, was born and raised in Nigeria. She has also lived in France and Germany and writes both in German and English. In 2018, she won the Commonwealth Short Story Prize for Africa with her short story True Happiness, which was subsequently published by Granta.

     

  • Libbi's says "I would recommend this amazing book because of it's warm and rich storytelling, full of magic and it is an amazing celebration of cultures. If I had to describe this story in three words, I would choose the words magic, family and adventure."
