I, like many of my fellow readers, am not a big fan of the middle book of a trilogy. “The world might be sunny-side up today.” The Review: The second installment of Juliette’s story of self discovery and growth in a world where her gift can make her into a monster or, maybe, a hero.

Imogen had written it on a special book-shaped template, with the title and author written down the spine. When I returned to work this morning after our half-term break, the review was waiting for me on my desk. Bertie vows that he will be reunited with his lion. Bertie and his lion are inseparable until Bertie is sent to boarding school and the lion is sold to a circus. She read The Butterfly Lion by Michael Morpurgo, which is the story of Bertie, who rescues an orphaned white lion cub from the African veld.

To be honest, getting used to a new way of life at work has taken most of a half term but I am so glad that I can be at school, seeing the children, reading with them, and discussing books and all sorts of other things. ![]() Michael escapes from his strict boarding school and meets an old lady who lives nearby. ![]() ![]() Goodness, it’s been a while since I have posted on this site.
