• 100 Best Books for Year 6

    20 January 2021

    Like any other avid reader, I'm always on the lookout for good book recommendations, so I was delighted when this list on The Reader Teacher was shared with me. It lists 100 recommended reads for Year 6 students (children aged 10 or 11 years old). Cirque Du Freak was one of the books, which was nice, but if you've already read that and are looking for your next cool read -- either for yourself or for a child of that age -- here are 99 more that will hopefully hit your freaky spot just as sweetly!! :-)

    And although I usually shy away from self-promotion (oh, who am I trying to kid -- I self-promote like crazy all the time!!!), this seems like a good opportunity of mentioning that my new Archibald Lox series is also suitable for this sort of age bracket. Unlike with The Demonata and Zom-B, where I veered more into YA territory, I drew back from the gore with this one, and aimed for a tone more akin to the first half of The Saga Of Darren Shan / Cirque Du Freak series. So if you want to extend this list to 101 books, you know where to look next... :-)
