April’s Recommended Books for Preteens and Teens From Cape Town’s Child
Fact Finder By Helen Lewis.
A fun-filled collection of facts aimed at children in the intermediate school phase (Grades 4 to 6). It is a basic, but general, reference book integrating all areas of the national curriculum: Arts & culture; Economic management sciences (EMS); Language; Life orientation (LO); Mathematics; Natural sciences; Social sciences (History and Geography); Technology. In addition to the basic information that will also be taught at school, each section contains loads of interesting asides, references to websites and other sources of information, and suggestions for interesting things to do and places to visit. Parents have a huge selection of books to choose from for younger children, and there are many study-guides available for high schoolers, but this age group has been neglected with hardly any references aimed at their level. This title is a companion for every child in this group who will lap up the information and have fun sharing the facts.
Running Wild By Michael Morpurgo.
The epic and heart-rending jungle adventure from the nation’s favourite storyteller, now available in paperback. For Will and his mother, going to Indonesia isn’t just a holiday. It’s an escape, a new start, a chance to put things behind them – things like the death of Will’s father. And to begin with, it seems to be just what they both needed. But then Oona, the elephant Will is riding on the beach, begins acting strangely, shying away from the sea. And that’s when the tsunami comes crashing in, and Oona begins to run. Except that when the tsunami is gone, Oona just keeps on running. With nothing on his back but a shirt and nothing to sustain him but a bottle of water, Will must learn to survive deep in the jungle. Luckily, though, he’s not completely alone! He’s got Oona.
Ottoline at Sea By Chris Riddell.
This is the third Ottoline story from award-winning and bestselling author Chris Riddell. Ottoline and Mr Munroe do everything and go everywhere together. That is, until the day Mr Munrow mysteriously disappears leaving a strange clue written in string… Armed with her Amateur Roving Collectors’ travel pass, Ottoline sets off on a journey over, under and on top of the sea to find her hairy best friend, and bring him back home. The book comes with goggles to help your child see Ottoline’s world more clearly. The Ottoline series is very popular among young children, and includes Ottoline goes to School and Ottoline and the Yellow Cat.Book details
