Firstly, I am glad the students in my class don’t bicker and backstab like some of these ones do. This book introduces us to a character called Donovan. He is the new boy at school and he is secretive, brooding and undeniably good looking. Amy finds him hard to resist. But things start to go wrong. Donovan involves Amy in a car crash. Then fights and factions develop in class under his influence, and there are unexplained thefts. When Donovan asks Amy to hide him, her loyalty is pushed to the limit If you like this one, author, Ruth Thomas also penned The Class that went Wild and The Runaways, winner of The Guardian Children's Fiction Prize. I am currently reading The Runaways on my Kindle and loving it.
This blog contains reviews and comments on children's books which I own, have read, and would like to share. I look for books at markets and opportunity shops. They are cleaned up, covered and read. Then I take them to the classroom for students to read. Students can borrow the books at any time. Many books are also from my personal library, especially the Youth Fiction. Students can preview some of them on this blog. Now, I am also on the lookout for great new releases for my grandson Archie.
