Members of Year 8 reading group have received copies of a book which has just been published this week, Rift by Beverley Birch. They will be reading the book this half-term, and then writiting reviews which we plan to pass on to the publisher Egmont.
I read a proof copy a few weeks a go, and enjoyed it immensely. It’s a gripping thriller, about the people searching for four teenagers and a journalist who have vanished without a trace from a camp below a steep rock ridge, in Africa. What’s more we’ll be able to enjoy a visit by the author during the library’s Reading and Storytelling Festival in November. I’m very grateful to the Oxford Children’s Book Group for helping to arrange this visit and to Egmont Books for donating the books to our reviewers.
