Themes: Bullying/ Bush (woods)/ Communities/ Enviroment/ Epidemics/Friendship/Fuel/ School Stories
Everyone knows you should never go into the bush
on your own especially when a relentless bully is in there as well. However the
bully, Chad, Tamaya a well-behaved but determined girl who is at school on a
scholarship and Marshall, the victim of Chad’s bullying find themselves there,
deep in the bush in a situation not many people would have dreamed of.. Of course Louis
Sachar being the original and imaginative writer he is, HAS dreamed of it all
and has created a story that is truly scary, in fact quite sinister in places, but
with moments of humour as well. It would read aloud well to a mixed group of
ten to eleven year olds.
Year 6 up/ Age 10 up
