Author of the Month – Tom Palmer

Our first author of the month for this term is Tom Palmer.  Tom writes amazing books on football, the Second World War and many other things.  His books are in our Super Shorts section, which means they are a great read with not so many pages.  Also they have yellow pages which means pupils with dyslexia challenges can read the words with more ease.  But everyone can borrow these books and they are amazing reads
