It's time to hand these in - we have enjoyed looking at these so far and we are really excited about how much reading you have been doing. Once we have received all the passports we will then be able to let you know how close you are to receiving your Lit Club Bronze award.

We looked more closely at one of the books Kate recommended:
Wonder - written by R.J. Palacio
We watched the book trailer - you can watch it again here and you can listen to the author talk about how the book came about here.
