Brickton Reads
Lower
E students are reading the Lyle, Lyle Crocodile books in
preparation for their field trip to see the play. Their Directress, Heather, is enjoying Nick
Hornby's How to Be Good. Parent Olina Dolly is reading
Dan Brown's Inferno. Amelia Dolly and Sarah Degand have formed their
own Book Buddy Book Club. They are loving Tuck Everlasting by
Natalie Babbitt. Maurusia Calderon
is into non-fiction: specifically her United Airlines Training
Manuals. And other parents find that the only bedtime reading they can
manage is what they read to the children....before all fall asleep!
