Grab a cuppa and a biccy and see if any of these books might just be the kind of thing you need right now.
Let me know if there are any other titles you would like to see on the powerpoint or if you would like me to keep any titles aside for when we get back.

If you are studying World War 2 or even if you are simply interested in the time period. Why not have a look at this power point? There are lots of resources out there and it can often be hard to find good ones. I have included some of the best available from the library.
Do you have a favourite book, graphic novel or even moie that you think should be included? Let me know and I will add it in.
Historical fiction is one of my favourite genres, often dealing with very difficult issues, it can get you into the mindset of another place and time and develop empathy and understanding.
Take care,
Mrs Baird

![I Am Thunder by [Khan, Muhammad]](https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51Bz7Jmq3vL.jpg)
Recently I have read the book ” I am Thunder” by Mohammed Khan. I read this book In Modern Studies as we had a book box filled with books specially chosen by our librarian. I can tell you now this book has changed the way I look at reading. It was the best book I had ever read without exaggeration.
This book is about 15-year-old Muzna who wants to become a writer but her controlling parents who have extreme views on culture want her to become a doctor. She is forced to leave school as her best friend is shamed in a scandal, however, she realises that bullies and repulsive people are always there. Muzna stands up for herself but there are prejudices everywhere. Tables are turned when the unpopular and confident Arif show an interest in her. he has a secret with an extreme view of religion. Will Myzna stay quiet and listen to her parents or stand up and agree with Arif?
I really liked this book as I have witnessed cultures forcing decisions on people and this book shows how wrong it is.
I really recommend this book as it is eye-opening and shows the reality of our world.
5 stars
