The next generation of book lovers

Zoe, Grade 5

1. What’s your favourite book and why?

Miles Morales Shock Waves by Justin Reynolds/Pablo Leon– It’s a good fit for me, and I love graphic novels. The pictures help me visualise and get involved in the story.

2. Do you have an all-time favourite character?

Miles Morales

3. What’s the first book you ever remember reading?

Probably an ABC type book with lots of pictures as I was learning my alphabet

4. If you could write your own book, what would it be about?

Maybe a book of poems set to one mood. I’d try to make my reader connect to what emotions I want to make them feel. And maybe try to get a message across.

5. What do you enjoy about reading?

It sets my mind at ease and also, like music, you can match a book to your mood. There are so many different ones out there, there’s a book for anyone and any mood.

Jayden, Grade 4

1. What’s your favourite book and why?

Matilda – Roald Dahl. I like it because it’s interesting and keeps you thinking.

2. Do you have an all-time favourite character?

Piranha from Bad guys

3. What’s the first book you ever remember reading?

Peter Rabbit’s Happy Easter

4. If you could write your own book, what would it be about?

It would be about a life lesson, like the Barefoot Investor for Kids

5. What do you enjoy about reading?

It takes you into a magical world and it feels like you are inside the book with characters. I feel like I’m part of the story but they just haven’t said my name yet.

Piper, Grade 3

1. What’s your favourite book and why?

Wings of Fire. I love the adventure and not knowing what’s going to happen. It’s full of surprises.

2. Do you have an all-time favourite character?

Glory from Wings of Fire

3. What’s the first book you ever remember reading?

Polar Polar Bear What can you Hear? Eric Carle

It would be an adventure book with lots of excitement.

5. What do you enjoy about reading?

I love that every new story is a new adventure.

The Cat Wants Custard – It’s a book to just laugh at and enjoy. It’s funny!

Cat in the Hat

3. What’s the first book you ever remember reading?

Mr Smiles

4. If you could write your own book, what would it be about?

Sonic the Hedgehog
