For the third consecutive year, Futures Community College has given new entrants the opportunity to receive a free book. Every Year 7 student can choose one free book from a list of twelve specially selected titles and having read the book of their choice, pupils are encouraged to complete a review, which they can share with other readers on-line at www.bookheads.org.uk.
The initiative, which is run by Booktrust an independent charity dedicated to encourage engagement with books and the written word, and backed by the Department for children, schools and families (Dcsf), is designed to encourage and support Year 7 students to read books for pleasure.
This year’s titles include Glen Murphy’s ‘How Loud Can You Burp?’ a funny and fact filled book which helps take a fresh look at the world (and universe) we live in, ‘An Urgent Matter Of Wowness’ a novel by Karen McCombie dealing with the break-up of parents, and ‘Blood Hunter’ by Steven Voake which is a thriller about how an investigation into the world’s deepest underwater cave goes horribly wrong!"
