The Anzac Violin

Wonderful book. Excellent childrens book and packed with tons of details, especially of the Gallipolli campaign in 1915 during World War 1.

The circle shell by Jennifer Beck

This book started off sad but turned into a happy ending book. Easy to read as it was quite short and had pictures that related to the text been read. I recommend this to be read to or shared with 9-10 year olds.
