Author Visit and Q&A with Ewa Jozefkowicz
Ewa Jozefkowicz, author of ‘Girl 38’ will be visiting our School on World Book Day – Thursday 03 March.
Ewa will be working with pupils in Years 7 and 8 and will take part in a special workshop with the School.
View our Q&A with Ewa here.
Girl 38 tells the story of Ania, the elderly next door neighbour of the heroine – Kat. Ania initially appears to be eccentric and even quite frightening. Kat unexpectedly befriends her and Ania tells her about her haunting journey to find her best friend Mila, who she was seperated from during the Second World War. The girls were rounded up and taken to different camps. Ania got help from an unexpected source – a German Officer named Sommer, who used his connections to help her in the search for Mila.
Ewa will also be signing copies of her books in the library at break time on 03 March. They are £5 each and payments can be made in advance via School Gateway or pupils can bring in money on the day.

Book Review Competition

You need to think carefully about lots of different things when writing a book review – analysing your feelings, your knowledge of other books you have read, and choosing the most appropriate language to convey what you want other readers to know about the book.
