Macmillan Coffee Morning
We are having our Macmillan Coffee Morning at break-time today. If you cannot make it or would prefer to read rather than eat, here are some cake related books - available in the Library!
Autumn begins
Today - Wednesday 23rd September- is the first day of autumn, the autumnal equinox today means that there are the same number of hours of daylight and darkness, so from tomorrow the dark nights and mornings begin to creep in. What to do? My option is to find a cosy spot and read! Below are a few 'autumnal' books to find in the Library:
Roald Dahl Day
Why not follow this advice and borrow a book from the Library?
Student book review
My favourite book is 'Attack of the giant robot chickens' by Alex McCall. It is set in Aberdeen and is about a group of kids trying to save the city from attack by robotic chickens! All of the adults have vanished and only Jesse and his friends remain to save the world.
I like this book because it is a great adventure and has lots of really bad chicken and egg puns which are funny. I have just borrowed the next book in the series - 'Revenge of the giant robot chickens' - from the Library and I am looking forward to reading it. S1 Reviewer

Teen Book Review
I have just finished reading "Buried thunder" by Tim Bowler. It is about a girl called Maya whose family has just taken over a hotel in a small village. One evening she wanders into the nearby forest and makes a terrible discovery - she finds two bodies. But all is not as it seems and Maya can only tell the police that she was drawn to that spot by the eyes of a fox. And this mysterious fox will not leave her alone. Maya hears it scratching round the hotel and sees it watching her outside, but no-one believes her. What is really happening? Will Maya solve the mystery before anyone else dies?
I really enjoyed this book although it is similar to many other creepy house type books and you can probably work out what the outcome will be. It is enjoyable because it is well written and the author really draws you in to the story from the very first page. It is quite atmospheric but not too scary. I would rate it 7 out of 10! S4 Reader

Book reviews
It would be great to receive more book reviews from some of the avid readers that we have here at ICHS (staff or student). If you would like to contribute a book review you can e-mail it to me :
ibrary@inveralmondchs.org.uk or hand in a paper copy to me in the Library.
