All students in Year 7 have been given the opportunity to choose their own book to take home and keep from a list of 16 titles, all of which have been carefully selected by a panel of experts to ensure quality and suitability.

Bookbuzz is a reading programme from Book Trust, which supports schools to encourage reading for pleasure and develop a whole school reading culture.

The scheme has been running for several years at Brooke Weston Academy and Librarian Wendy Mann said, ‘The Bookbuzz programme helps to encourage a positive attitude towards reading and introduces students to different genres of books they might not have read before.’

The most popular title with the students this year was ‘Murder at Snowfall’ by Fleur Hitchcock, perfect for those who love an atmospheric and intriguing murder mystery.

Students will receive their chosen book in Term 2 and all the books on the list are available to borrow from the school library.
