Welcome to the Kiwi Kids Book Chat with school librarians Penny Walch and Julie Huggins. This week we feature Shooting Stars by Brian Falkner which has been a popular addition to our Year 8 reading programme - to the point that it has not only converted student readers to reading, but also teachers. We interview four of our Year 8 students and a Year 8 teacher about the book. Apologies for the sound quality which is somewhat sporadic. Books mentioned in the episode: Shooting Stars by Brian Falkner One by Sarah Crossan Moonrise by Sarah Crosson Starfish by Lisa Fipps Alan Gratz Kwame Alexander Follow the KKBC on Facebook: @kiwikidsbookchat Follow our library (not exclusively kiwi kids literature): Twitter @southwellibrary Facebook @SouthwellLibrary Blog http://southwelllibrary.blogspot.com/
