By popular request the author and website lists distributed at the PIP evening for years 7 and 8 held on 29th April, can be found on the link below. The author list is a guide to the most popular authors borrowed from the library by our Year 7, 8 and 9 students and the website list gives a number of useful sites where reviews of current books can be found. Most of the authors listed also have their own personal websites giving details of their books if you want to know more about them.
