A Fair Field Reading List: Books to inspire...
Parents have requested a list of highly recommended books. This is an excellent suggestion, so here follows our selection of texts from talented authors that come highly recommended by teachers and library volunteer staff at Fair Field.
Get stuck into a good book!
We have also indicated which ones are available in the library - a list we would like to lengthen. We hope you enjoy reading some of these treasures...
If you would like to suggest books to add to this list, let Miss Barnes, Mrs Milner or Mr Johnson know and your favourite might get added.
