Book of the week

This week's recommended read is one for the older members of KS1. “So You Think You ’ve Got It Bad?” by Chae Strathie and Marisa Morea is a witty and wonderfully illustrated dive into the tough lives of children in ancient times, with a special focus on what it was like to grow up in a castle. From chamber pots to cold stone walls, it brings the realities of medieval childhood to life in a way that’s both funny and fascinating for readers.
