Librarian List

/by

Each month we ask a librarian for some recommended books around a chosen theme! This month we asked Helen Heaton, a librarian and FCBG member from Mendip Children’s Book Group to create a list of books around the theme, “A book I couldn’t put down”.  She went above and beyond and there are some favourites on her list as well as some new and award winning titles.  Check them out below and head out to your library or bookshop to find out more.
