1.Tom's Midnight Garden by: Philippa Pearce 2008-01
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £5.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.99 You Save: £2.00 (33%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.89
This is a classic story for children, set in the 50's, it is about time, memory and friendship. Tom, lonely and isolated as he is in quarantine, finds his way back in time, at night (when the hall clock strikes 13), to a wonderful old garden and a little girl called Hattie, who, to his curiosity, is dressed in old fashioned clothes. The two lonely children become friends and I don't want to give away the beautifully devoloped plot, but Tom slowly realises that Hattie is growing up, while he remains the same age. The atmosphere of the story is both mysterious and engaging, as Tom slowly works out where he is and who Hattie really is. The end of the story takes in the biblical idea of time coming to and end, or the modern notion ... Read More:

3.A Dog So Small (Puffin Books) by: Philippa Pearce July 25, 1974
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £4.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.49 You Save: £0.50 (10%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.01
This was one of my favourites as a child. I recently re-read "A dog so small" and was gripped again by the story, the beautiful writing and the atmosphere that the author conjures up. The story is simple: a boy longs for a dog but is disappointed when all he receives for his birthday is a rather obscure cross-stitch picture from Mexico. But Ben soon uses the power of his imagination to fill the dog in the picture with life. While at first this is fun, Ben's obsession starts to have more negative effects as the boundaries between reality and fantasy become blurred. What I like about this book is its emotional depth. Young readers are not shielded from the quite intense sometimes negative emotions that children can have. I read ... Read More:

6.Minnow on the Say by: Philippa Pearce September 04, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £5.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.59 You Save: £2.40 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.89
This book belongs with some of the English classics about rivers and boats, from "The Wind in the Willows" to "Three Men in a Boat". The descriptions of the long summer days spent searching for treasure up and down the River Say (I believe this is the Cam) are truly enchanting. Like the river itself, the book has depths beyond the mystery and adventure. The subject of friendship is central to the book and the characters are all very well drawn, from the two central protagonists, the likeable "everyboy" David and the more complex adolescent Adam, to the supporting roles of Squeak Wilson and Adam's eccentric relatives. Finally, what makes this book particularly worthwhile is that the author does not shy away from themes integral to life from class ... Read More:

The family has two gerbils but their mum will do anything to get rid of them! The gerbils face all kinds of dangers, even nearly getting eaten by a cat! The book is sometimes scary, like when Sid is alone in the forest at night. But we also liked the funny ending. The main character Sid is quiet but determined to keep his gerbils safe. We thought this book was extremely interesting and exciting. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, always exciting! We thoroughly recommend that you read this book. Centipede class (year 3/4)
