1 Recommended Reading Here are 5 pages of suggested reading peruse and enjoy Five well-known authors list their top-ten children s books for Years 6, 7, 8 & 9: Michael Rosen: 1. Skellig by David Almond. Almond brings magical realism to working-class North-East England. 2. Red Cherry Red by Jackie Kay. A book of poems that reaches deep into our hidden thoughts but also talks in a joyous voice exploring the everyday 3. Talkin Turkeys by Benjamin Zephaniah. A book of poems that demands to be read alound, performed and thought about 4. Greek Myths by Geraldine McCaughrean. Superheroes battle with demons; gods intervene in our pleasures and fears beautifully re-told here. 5. People Might Hear You by Robin Klein. A profound, suspenseful story about sects, freedom and the rights of all young people especially girls. 6. Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman. A book that daresdto go where no one thought you could with young audiences because it raises tough issues to do with race. 7. Einstein s Underpants and How they Saved the World by Anthony McGowan. A crazy adventure set amongst the kids you don t want to know, but who this book makes you really, really care about. 8. After the First Death by Robert Cormier. Cormier is never afraid of handling how the personal meets the political all within the frame work of a thriller. 9. The London Eye Mystery by Siobhan Dowd. A book that allows difference to be part of the plot and not a point in itself. 10. Boy by Roald Dahl. A semi-autobiographical novel of his childhood. A tale full of mishaps and adventures told in Dahl s own magical style. Philip Pullman: 1. Alice s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll. Indispensable. The great classic beginning of English children s literature. 1
2 2. Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi. What effortless invention looks like. 3. and the Detectives by Erich Kastner. A great political story; democracy in action. 4. Swallows and Amazons by Arthur Ransome. As clear and pure as Mozart. 5. Black Hearts in Battersea by Joan Aiken. If Ransom is Mozart, Aiken is Rossini. Unforced as effervescence. 6. The Owl Service by Alan Garner. Showed how children s literature could sound dark and troubling chords. 7. The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster. Superb wit and vigorous invention. 8. Moominsummer Madness by Tove Jansson. Any of the Moomin books would supply the same strange magic. 9. A Hundred Million Francs by Paul Berra. A particular favourite of mine, as much for Richard Kennedy s delicate illustrations (in the English edition) as for the story. 10. The Castafiore Emeralds by Herge. Three generations of my family have loved Tintin. Perfect timing, perfect narrative tact and command blissfully funny. Michael Morpugo: 1. The Star of Kazan by Eva Ibbotson. The heroine is blessed with such wonderful friends who help her through the twists and turns of this incredibly journey. 2. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. The first fey pages were so engaging. Marley s ghostly face on the knocker of Scrooge s door still gives me Shivers. 3. Just William books by Richmal Crompton. These are a must for any child. 4. The Happy Prince and other tales by Oscar Wilde. The Happy Prince was the first story, I think, that ever made me cry and still has the power to make me cry. 5. The Just So Stories by Rudyard Kipling. These are stories my mother used to read to me most often, because I asked her for them again and again. I love the sheer fun of them, the music and the rhythm of the words. They re a bit subversive too. The Elephant s Child is still my favourite. 6. Treasure Island by Robert Louie Stevenson. I lived this book as I read it. 2
3 7. The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingay. A classic tale of man versus nature. I wish I d written this. 8. The Man Who Planted Trees by Jean Giono. A book for children from 8 to 80. I love the humanity of this story and how one man s efforts can change the future of so many. 9. The Singing Tree by Kate Seredy. The story of two children who go to find their father who has been listed missing in the trenches of the First world war. 10. The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson-Burnett. I love this story of a girl s life being changed by nature. Katy Guest: 1. Refugee Boy by Benjamin Zephaniah. The story of a young Ethiopian boy, whose parents abandon him in London to save his life. 2. Finn Family Moomintroll (and the other Moomin books) by Tove Jansson. A fantasy series for small children that introduces bigger ones to ideas of adventure, dealing with fear, understanding character and tolerating difference. 3. Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney. It s rude, it s funny and it will chime with every 11 year old who has ever started a new school. 4. I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith. Written for a teenage audience but fun at any age. 5. The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkein. Be warned these tales of hobbits, elves and Middle eartj are dangerously addictive. 6. The Tygrine Cat (and The Tygrine Cat on the Run ) by Inbali Iseries. If your parents keep going on at you to read Tarka the Otter, The Sheep Pig and other animal fantasies, do they re great books also try Iseries stories about a cat seeking his destiny. 7. Carry On, Jeeves, by PG Woodhouse. A grown-up book but not that grown-up. 8. When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit by Judith Kerr. Kerr s semi- autobiographical story of a family fleeing the Nazis in Moving Pictures by Terry Pratchett. Elaborate mythological imagery and a background based in real science. If you like this, the Discworld series offers plenty more. 3
4 10. The Story of Tracy Beaker by Jacqueline Wilson. The pinnacle of the wonderful Wilson s brilliant and enormous output. John Walsh: 1. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Irresistible puzzle-solving tales of the chilly Victorian master-sleuth and his medical sidekick. 2. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon. Agetranscending tale both funny and sad. 3. Mistress Masham s Repose by T.H. White. Magical story of 10 year old Maria, living in a derelict stately home, shy, lonely and under threat from both her governess and her rascally guardian. 4. Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. Inexplicably evergreen, trend and taste defying 1868 classic. 5. Back in the Jug Agane, Down with Skool, Whizz for Atomms and How to be Topp by Geoffrey Williams and Ronald Searle. Side-splitting satire on skool, oiks, teechers, fules, bulies and swots. 6. Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz. First of the Action-packed adventures with 14 year old Alex Ryder. 7. Private Peaceful by Michael Morpurgo. Dulce est Decorum Est for teens. 8. Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer. Lively, amoral, imaginative debut (six more followed) about money-grabbing master-criminal Artemis, 12. The author calls it Die Hard with fairies 9. The Silver Sword by Ian Serraillier. Inspiring wartime story of the Balicki family in Warsaw. 10. Animal Farm by George Orwell. Smart 11-year-olds won t need any preknowledge of Marx, Lenin Trotsky and 1917 to appreciate this brilliantly told fable. Also recommended for Years 6, 7, 8 & 9: His Dark Materials Trilogy : Northern Lights, The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman. Superior and gripping fantasy fiction with a dash of the thriller about them - excellent stuff The Sally Lockhart Mysteries by Philip Pullman. Once again, an excellent series of books about a young female detective working against the odds in misogynist Victorian London. Go girl The four books in this series are: The 4
5 Ruby in the Smoke, The Shadow in the North, The Tiger in the Well and The Tin Princess. Candyfloss by Jacqueline Wilson Mr Stink by David Walliams Gangsta Granny by David Walliams Horrid Henry and the Football Fiend by Francesca Simon Lost Gods by Francesca Simon The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff Picture Me Now by Meg Rosoff Split Second by Sophie McKenzie Maggot Moon by Sally Gardner Monsters of Men by Patrick Ness A Gathering Light by Jennifer Donnelly The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman fantasy fiction at its best and most engaging. Coraline by Neil Gaiman - fantasy fiction at its best and most engaging. Coram Boy by Jamila Gavin an orphan s journey through the horrors of Georgian London. Louis Sachar is the master story teller and funny too: The Boy Who Lost His Face by Louis Sachar There s a Boy in the Girls Bathroom by Louis Sachar Holes by Louis Sachar Small Steps by Louis Sachar Dogs Don t Tell Jokes by Louis Sachar The Card Turner by Louis Sachar The Pirates series of books by Gideon Defoe are anarchic, knowing, anachronistic and very, very funny. Read them all: 5
6 The Pirates in an Adventure with Scientists, The Pirates in an Adventure with Moby Dick, The Pirates in an Adventure with Communists, The Pirates in an Adventure with Napoleon and The Pirates in an Adventure with Romantics For more fun read Andy Mulligan s Ribblestrop series of books laugh out loud funny and about a mad school filled with crazy characters there are no such places, surely? For Older Readers: The following books do not shy away from gritty, hard hitting themes and a bit of swearing: She is Not Invisible by Marcus Sedgwick Revolver by Marcus Sedgwick We Were Liars by E. Lockhart. Being by Kevin Brooks Kissing the Rain by Kevin Brooks Killing God by Kevin Brooks iboy by Kevin Brooks Naked by Kevin Brooks Bunker Diary by Kevin Brooks Junk by Melvin Burgess Kill All Enemies by Melvin Burgess The Wall by William Sutcliffe Liar and Spy by Rebecca Stead The Fault in Our Stars by John Green Looking For Alaska by John Green 6
