The Final Year
As a big fan of novels told in verse, I already knew I would enjoy it. What I didn't anticipate was that two blank pages would make me ugly cry! The story of Nate is filled with situations a lot of young people find themselves in, pretty much everyone will complete their last year of primary school so this book has a high recognition factor. The friendship issues is something most young people will recognise too. I particularly liked the descriptions of Nates home life and family. There is so much love there and the fact that Nate shoulder quite a lot of responsibility never feels like a hardship or something he resents. This book should be read by all Y6 classes!!
