THE WHIPPING BOY Author: Sid FleischmanPublisher: new york: harpertrophy, 2003Call no.: Junior Lending English FLE

Orphan Jemmy is the whipping boy: he is punished in place of the spoilt and ill-mannered Prince Brat whenever he acts up. When the prince decides to run away, Jemmy is swept up into an adventure he wants no part in, involving two gruff, menacing villains, some hot potatoes and a large bear.

As the boys unhappily swap places, the lesson of stepping into another person’s shoes and the importance of empathy emerge. Peppered with classic illustrations by Peter Sís, this all-time favourite and Newbery Medal winner is not just a thrilling ride; it is also a captivating tale about growing up.

OVER IN THE WETLANDS: A HURRICANE-ON-THE-BAYOU STORY Author: Caroline Starr RosePublisher: new york: Schwartz & Wade Books, 2015Call no.: Junior Lending Picture Book English RoS

Told in rhyming verse, this beautifully illustrated book shows animals hiding from a storm as a hurricane stirs over the Mississippi River Delta. After the storm, the animals creep out again and the bayou is peaceful once more. However, a note from the author tells us that flooding, which comes after a hurricane, is a growing threat to Louisiana’s coastal wetlands. This is because over 2,000 square miles of wetlands have been destroyed by humans.

At the end of the book, readers can also learn more about the animals in the story; their habitat and living patterns in the bayou. This is a good lead-in for parents to teach their children about the ecological impact of human activities on the environment.

title: Sherlock Sam and the Missing heirloom in KatongAuthor: A. J. LowCall no.: J Sing LoW

The Sherlock Sam series is about a young boy living in Singapore who likes solving mysteries. I really like the humour in this book. I also like this book because like most Scooby-Doo shows, it’s almost always impossible to guess who the culprit behind the mystery is.
