Sally Nicholls |
| |
|
"My name is Sam. I am eleven years old. I collect
stories and fantastic facts. By the time you read this, I will
probably be dead. Sam loves facts. He wants to know about UFOs
and horror movies and airships and ghosts and scientists, and how it
feels to kiss a girls. And because he has leukaemia he wants
to know the facts about dying. Sam needs answers to the
questions nobody will answer.
Ways to live forever is the first novel from an extraordinary
talented young writer. Funny and honest, it is one of the most
powerful and uplifting books you will ever read."

Enemy at the Gate
by Phillipa Werry |
|
"Being in quarantine sounds like being in prison," I said,
shivering. Lily nodded. "A bit like that. Except that
the prison is your own home," |
|
"Or like being in a besieged castle," I said, thinking aloud.
"With an invisible enemy at the gates."
In 1936 a deadly disease holds New Zealand in terror. Known as
infantile paralysis, or polio, the disease appears to strike at
random. Schools close. Going to the pictures is out of
the question. Seeing your friends is dangerous.
Caught up in the confusion and fear, twelve year old Tom finds
refuge in his dream: to run in the Olympics like the famous Jack
Lovelock.
