Miss Ackers' Recommended Read - March

This month Humanities and AR teacher, Miss Ackers, has sent in her 'pick'...

Stardust by Neil Gaiman

At the dawn of the Victorian era, Tristran dreams of adventures over the wall and into the magical land known as Faerie. When a star falls and lands over the wall, he promises to bring it back for his one true love, Victoria, however he finds way more than he bargained for in a world that’s dangerous and strange beyond imagining. 

His journey takes him through epic countryside to meet princes, unicorns, stars, witches and other magical creatures in a story that will blow your mind and keep you wanting more. It’s the story of how a boy turns into a man, discovers that there’s more to life that the small dull village that he lives in and realises he’s certainly more than just a shop boy.

This book was brilliant, one of the best stories I’ve read for years and Neil Gaiman’s writing was able to paint such a glorious picture in my head. I’d definitely recommend this book to the higher ZPD readers. The film is also brilliant to watch afterwards to bring the story to the big screen!
