The best book I read in June was Fizz & Peppers at the Bottom of the World by some author called M.G.King, who seems to hang about here a lot. ;)
My review's out on Saturday (5 July) at and on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ soon after.

My favorite of that bunch was Thunder Rolling in the Mountains. I just thought it was the most interesting of the bunch. The story was very moving.

I also managed Things Fall Apart which is a classic in African literature and quite beautiful.




I was most impressed to discover an author I'd never heard of before - Kirkpatrick Hill; I enjoyed and recommend both Do Not Pass Go and The Year of Miss Agnes. They're short and smart and would be good for reluctant MG readers.

Jacci, how old do you think kids should be before they are offered Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children?
The Great Unexpected has a beautiful cover, too:



Trying to sort out what I read in June. . . leaving aside the C. S. Lewis we all read (about which I have mixed feelings, though mostly still lots of love), the best MG book I read was Bravo Victor
Good fun adventure!
