Book Review: The book was about a young boy who has trouble with social anxiety, he struggles to focus and has OCD problems. How my 'final' piece' relates to the book: Our final piece is about the main character looking concerned as everyone whispers around him. This is like the book because he often wonders if people are talking about him. What I enjoyed most about being part of this book club: Bake Day!

Shrapnel Boys
Book Review: Shrapnel boys is increadibely well written and made it feel like Ronnie was speaking directly to me. It gave me an insight on what the bombing and WWII was like for a kid. How my 'final piece' relates to the book: It's a radio interview, with a young boy, about how he felt and what happened when the bombs first dropped. He mentions seeing a group of boys running about, picking up bits of shrapnel. What I enjoyed most about being part of this book club: I enjoyed being able to talk about what happened in the book, I was reading, and hearing about the other books everyone else was reading.
