Review
This is the first title in a great new series that is aimed at all reluctant readers!
Juno Jones is a girl who does not like to read. She has a vivid imagination and in her words, she likes to ‘climb, make jokes, draw cartoons and occasionally be a ninja’.
When Juno’s school is threatened with closure, her teacher, Miss Tippett, comes up with a plan to save the school - reading! She believes that reading is the only way that they can get ‘smarter’ and unless they do Muttonbird Bay School will close forever.
This plan does not sit well with Juno at all! So she comes up with her own plan - and so ‘Juno Jones Word Ninja’ is born.
This is a fabulous, fun story that is not only about reading, but it is also about friendship and standing up for others. It will be enjoyed by those 7 and up.
