All Lies I tell you

Possibilites

There are so many reasons pupils (and staff) give me for them NOT reading. “It’s too hard!”, It’s boring”, “None of my pals do it”.

But there are too sides to every story and hearing such comments made me think of the Costa winning YA book The Lies Tree by Frances Hardinge (available in the library, of course); of a tree in a village that rewards lies with truths … the bigger the lie the bigger the truth. Well worth a read.
Lies!
For every it’s boring there is a it was amazing.. for every I can’t there is an I can.

only one side of the story
Pop in to the library and take a look at our very own Lie Tree. And don’t let the lies we tell ourselves stop us from being the people we want to be.
