Reigate Chatterbooks have just had their last meeting before the summer break. We have just read a variety of books that were made into films and had a lively discussion about what was best book or film ?

Haslemere Library Chatterbooks

During June, Chatterbooks at Haslemere Library read Wilf the Mighty Worrier Saves the World by Georgia Pritchett and Mirror Magic  by Claire Fayers. We also had a quiz based on 100 Events that made History by Clare Hibbert. Other activities included wordsearches, colouring and drawing our own reflections.

During May, Chatterbooks at Haslemere Library read The Great Rabbit Rescue by Katie Davies and First Class Murder by Robin Stevens. We also had a quiz based on The Book of Flags by Rob Colson.
Other activities included a treasure hunt based on the books from the 2019 Surrey Libraries' Children's Book Award and a murder, mystery memory game with Trevor the cat!

Weybridge Chatterbooks

Our last meeting at the beginning of May was a very lively one. We had chosen The Lost Magician by Piers Torday as our book to read for April.

There were mixed reviews for this book. The group was split around who enjoyed it and who didn't. We did agree that it was a little like some other stories that we had read in the past. Some of us did enjoy the magic element though, whilst others thought that the time that it was set in, just after the war, was quite interesting.

We made some posters for our library display, with some of the memorable sayings from the book and some of the mythical creatures that were part of the story. #LostMagician

Our next book is The Boy Who Flew by Fleur Hitchcock. It's about a boy called Athan Wilde and his adventure with a flying machine. It's a proper murder mystery!!! Everyone is looking forward to  reading this as it promises to be an exciting and interesting adventure for us all.
