Hetty and the Battle of the Books by Anna James

5.0

This book is a fun and inspiring read and I think my students will enjoy reading it. Hetty is a student at St. Jerome’s Secondary who loves to read and spend time in the school’s multiuse library. When she and her friends find out the school is going to close the library they work together to stop it.. the book is written from Hetty’s first person point of view and her voice is chatty and ironic in a way that is very relatable. I also think it sends great messages about maintaining friendships, working together for a cause, and the joys of reading and books.
