Hello all 🙂

Here’s the 7th episode in Miss Hall Rates Reading. In this video I’m going to be talking about Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer. This is a great crime, thriller, fantasy, adventure book that really transcends genre boundaries. Let me know what you think!

Hello all!

Today’s book is not one from my childhood but a more recently published book which is set during WW2. The book follows the story of a 10-year-old called Felix who is Jewish and lives in Poland during the time of Nazi occupation.

Let me know what you think. Have you already read this?
