A review by seawoodwrites
Clockwork by Philip Pullman

5.0

Downloaded this from my local library to listen to whilst my class was out at their swimming lesson and I was left behind putting up displays. Definitely not a waste of data! Thoroughly enjoyed it it, and if we haven't already got it in the school library, I'm buying my own copy to read with the children's book club. Just a super example of how clever and engaging a book for 7-9yos can be without being boring or the wrong emotional level. Pullman never talks down to kids, and he's not afraid of broadening their vocabulary, either. Makes for an absolutely super audiobook/read aloud, too, which is tough for this level.
