This month we have been reading The Last Chance Hotel by Nicki Thornton.Seth is the down-trodden kitchen boy with ambitions to be a chef. He has always lived and worked at the remote Last Chance Hotel in the middle of a seemingly endless forest.
When a strange gathering of magicians arrives for dinner, their leader is poisoned. A locked-room murder investigation ensues - and Seth, is the main suspect as he prepared a special desert only eaten by the kindly Dr Thallomius.
Can he solve the mystery and clear his name, especially when magic's afoot?
This was a wonderful, complex and original story with some unusual plot twists. It looks like it may be the first in a series to rival Harry Potter.
Most of the group liked the book except Kasper who doesn't like books about Magic.
As it was St Valentine's day we made hearts showing our favourite books.
We made 'Love bug' greetings cards-in which most of which the group wrote rude messages!
