<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Our first author of the month for this term is Tom Palmer.\u00a0 Tom writes amazing books on football, the Second World War and many other things.\u00a0 His books are in our Super Shorts section, which means they are a great read with not so many pages.\u00a0 Also they have yellow pages which means pupils with dyslexia challenges can read the words with more ease.\u00a0 But everyone can borrow these books and they are amazing reads<\/p>\n
