Recommended Reads (WBD special)- Explore the worlds of Abi Elphinstone!2 March 2023 (by Megan Thomas (MThomas)) |
This World Book Day, we're exploring the fantastical worlds of author Abi Elphinstone!
Here are our recommended reads from her incredible books:
For KS2 readers- The 'Unmapped Chronicles' books: Ever Dark, Rumble Star, Jungle Drop, The Crackle Dawn Dragon
'The truly extraordinary people - the ones who defeat monsters and save kingdoms - are, very often, the ones that nobody notices at first...'
Perfect for children who love fantasy adventures, with unlikely heroes (children who they'll undoubtedly relate to themselves) at the centre of the stories: 'Nothing, and I mean nothing, is more powerful than a child in possession of a plan.'
Meeting extraordinary creatures and exciting characters along the way, our heroes and heroines must explore their Unmapped Kingdoms and save the day!
For EYFS and KS1 readers- The Snow Dragon
'You can be late for many things in life, but you should never keep an adventure waiting...'
In Griselda Bone’s gloomy orphanage, daydreaming is banned, skipping is forbidden and Christmas is well and truly cancelled. But for Phoebe and her sausage dog, Herbert, is it possible that magic awaits in the swirling, snow-filled air?
With beautiful illustrations from Fiona Woodcock, this book is sure to delight!
