Afternoon and welcome back. Did you try the French Toast Cumpets for lunch? I'm back this afternoon to share a book review from Lucy. She was very lucky to receive a copy of Road To London by Barbara Mitchelhill, which is available from bookshops this month. Lucy is an avid reader and has recently saved up for a Kindle as she had run out of bookshelf space! She reads all sorts of books and is often rescued from under the pages when I go to bed as she has fallen asleep whilst reading. I have to admit that I haev not as yet read this book so will let Lucy share her review.
When I was asked to review
the book ‘Road to London
The book ‘Road to London’ is
a fun and exciting adventure about a boy who wants to travel with Shakespeare
and his actors but is not allowed. Then he meets Shakespeare in his house in
the boys village. He reminds Shakespeare of his son which is just his luck
since he is offered to come along and watch his show the next day. But from
that moment on every thing goes wrong since he goes poaching and is almost
caught so he has to escape before he is killed. On the way to London
The boy joins Shakespeare’s
group and everything is going brilliantly till the girl returns, this time with
a boys hair cut. It turned out she had been working for a foreign man. From that moment on there is a
fire, a show for her majesty and almost a death!
I would recommend this book
to anyone 10 or over. It was fun reading about children in Shakepseare's time and I like his plays as I have read some that have been rewritten for children. I also like history and enjoy adventure stories so this book was perfect. Thank you to Andersen Publishers for letting me review this book.

I know that Lucy really enjoyed this book and I am sure your older children will too.
Enjoy your day
