#PrimarySchoolBookClub Struan Murray PuffinBooks A1. Wow! It’s hard to put into words how much I enjoyed this fiery, fantastical and fast-paced adventure! So many unexpected twists too - I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but I couldn’t put it down! #PrimarySchoolBookClub

#PrimarySchoolBookClub Struan Murray PuffinBooks A1. Absolutely fangtastic & 1 of my fav books of the year. Brilliant fantasy elements coupled with that exploration of grief was incredible (that final page made me cry!). VERY excited for book 2 #PrimarySchoolBookClub

#PrimarySchoolBookClub Struan Murray PuffinBooks A1: I loved the originality… so many books about catching dragons, taming dragons, breeding dragons… none about being dragons. Loved the twists… although this is Struan Murray so knew they’d be a few! #primarySchoolBookClub

2⃣Q2 (7:20pm):🗨️ Struan Murray, author of #PrimarySchoolBookClub📚 Pick #Dragonborn🐉 asks: a) What can Alex’s struggles teach about anger, self-control or feeling different? b) How can Dragonborn help talk about change? 👇Answer using A2: #PrimarySchoolBookClub📚 PuffinBooks


#PrimarySchoolBookClub Struan Murray PuffinBooks A2a I always find books themselves provide one of the best ‘ways in’ to talking about struggles. Relating the issues to the characters they have become invested helps the children put themselves in their shoes and is a great starting point for discussions. #PrimarySchoolBookClub

#PrimarySchoolBookClub Struan Murray PuffinBooks A2. It’s a perfect class readaloud so encourages that discussion around change. Even though it’s a fantasy story, there’s so much to unpick with chn & get them to relate to their own lives. Teaches them to be proud of who they are #PrimarySchoolBookClub

#PrimarySchoolBookClub Struan Murray PuffinBooks A2b. This book would be great for promoting resilience and encouraging a child to step out of their comfort zone. I love the support Alex has from other characters and the encouragement they give to her to keep on trying. #PrimarySchoolBookClub

#PrimarySchoolBookClub Struan Murray PuffinBooks A2: for me I think what would teach the children the most would be how the others reacted and supported Alex. Power of friendship and showing kindness to others who are struggling or not coping etc.
