Friends, Frenemies and Family Sagas

Books inspire and ignite imaginations. They can be the keys to another world. But they can also give us the keys to this world, with some of the greatest stories being those set in real life.  From Shirley Hughes’ ability to capture the quintessentially ‘domestic dramas’ of everyday family life to the sense of community and collective responsibility in Enid Blyton’s Mallory Towers- these books portray dramas very important to children and offer an opportunity for self-reflection and celebration of the everyday"
