On Friday, the library transformed into Camp Half Blood as pupils celebrated Percy Jackson Day! They put their knowledge to the test in a Percy Jackson quiz, made badges & camp necklaces, and even had a go at their very own Trials of Precision! @KSCLibrarian @rickriordan

Day 2, 9 Category: Terra Electrica by @antonia_books @neemtreepress A gripping story of courage & survival set in a dystopian future. We loved Mani’s quiet strength and the combination of edge-of-your-seat adventure with her inner journey into the spirit world. #SparkLonglist
