The Final Year by Matt Goodfellow

5.0

I just finished this beautiful, powerful book.... and wow! Just wow. As a primary school teacher who's youngest child is currently in year 5, it resonated with me so much. Written in verse, it takes us through Nate's final year of primary, where his best friend has gone to a new class, and Nate takes care of his two younger brothers while Mum is still planning on winning at the bingo. A superb book about finding your voice and your people. I'll be sharing this one with my youngest when he's ready to make that big jump.
