Year 6 have just finished reading their first novel in their whole class reading lessons. The book is called Fly Me Home by Polly Ho-Yen and it is just incredible! Some of the children said the book was the best book they have ever read!
Feeling lost and alone in a strange new city, Leelu wishes she could fly away back home – her real home where her dad is, thousands of miles away.
London is cold and grey and the neighbours are noisy and there’s concrete everywhere.
But Leelu is not alone; someone is leaving her gifts outside her house – wonders which give her curious magical powers.
Powers which might help her find her way home . . .
Fly Me Home is an incredibly moving portrait of one family’s struggle to adjust to life in a new country.
Year 6 are now moving on to reading Michael Morpurgo’s Poems About Migration
