Students in Year 3 are invited to join a lunchtime Book Club next term. The book we will be reading is Rita’s Revenge by Lian Tanner. This book is the winner of the 2023 Russell Prize for Humour Writing for Young People and was shortlisted in the 2023 NSW Premier’s Literary Awards and the Patricia Wrightson Prize for Children’s Literature.

See more information about the story at Rita’s Revenge – Lian Tanner — A&U Children’s – 9781761066009 – Allen & Unwin – Australia (allenandunwin.com).

We will meet one lunchtime a fortnight, on Wednesdays, and will use literature circle roles to guide the group discussion.

This term we will be offering the books for sale through Larrikin books, who will send us the books ready to begin next term. Follow the link to buy a book or you are welcome to source your own.
