I have just read ‘the bone sparrow’ by Zana Fraillon.

Morris Gleitzman said it was ‘A special book’.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book, even though the material it dealt with was so HEAVY.  It is a story of a Rohingya child in a Detention Centre.

The story is quite heavy handed in regards to the Detention Centre guards. Also, there are a few parts of the story that are difficult to believe. Still, a good read.

Highly recommended for children in their last year of primary school and for those in high school.
