PERSONAL RECOMMENDATION FROM WATERSTONES BALLYMENA

Our recommendation this week is ‘Where The Crawdads Sing’ by Delia Owens.

This is a coming-of -age story which I absolutely loved! I'd heard so much about it and when I read it I wasn't disappointed. It's a story of survival with great characters and beautiful writing. It is very descriptive – you will love it too!

Reese Witherspoon bought the rights to the film and it will be out later this year. Obviously the book is always better so read it before the film is out!

SATURDAY STORYTIME

Saturday Storytime is on Saturday 2 April at 12 o'clock.

The book we will be reading is ‘One Camel Called Doug’ by Lu Fraser and Sarah Warburton.
