This month, our book club dived into Laura Delaney’s Deadliest Day by Ann Carroll. We followed Laura’s adventure as she wins a school competition and gets to be a teacher for the day—what could possibly go wrong? We had great fun discussing her school antics with her friend Joe and teacher Mrs. Pim, and even created character outlines to bring the story to life.

We also kicked off our Junior Juries with The Dictionary Story by Oliver Jeffers. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be reading and hearing from the authors and illustrators of the shortlisted titles for the KPMG Children’s Books Ireland Awards. Each book will be scored, and our votes will contribute to the final awards in June!

To celebrate spring, some of our members have also written reviews on animal-themed books—keep an eye out for their work in the next issue of Moycullen Matters!
Exciting reading ahead—stay tuned for more updates! 📚✨

Happy reading,

Mrs E Walsh
