The Miracle of Hanukkah
By Malachy Doyle｜Publisher: Bloomsbury Education
Review: I like this book and the way it tells the story of Hanukkah. We did read the story of Hanukkah at school in year l in RE and so l have known some of this already. It is nice to hear the story again and remind me of the special words like “Menorah" which I have forgotten.

Review: This story is really fun and it's cool how the dog is a dragon at night. It is a nice short story to read before bed and my class fiends enjoy the book.

Queen of Darkness
By Tony Bradman｜Publisher: Bloomsbury Education
Review: I enjoy this book very much but it can be too scary if I am younger than 7 years old. It is an interesting way to learn about Boudica and British history. The book is exciting and unpredictable. The main character is Rihanna and I find her very reliable.
