Hellesdon Book of the Month ✨ November ✨

The nights are getting darker and longer so here's a creepy book for this month.

Witchcraft for Wayward Girls
by Grady Hendrix

For fans of thrilling Gothic stories, the 70s, suspense, Stranger Things, and witchcraft.

More info below:

They call them wayward girls. Loose girls. Girls who grew up too fast. And they’re sent to the Wellwood House in St. Augustine, Florida, where unwed mothers are hidden by their families to have their babies in secret, give them up for adoption, and most important of all, to forget any of it ever happened.

Fifteen-year-old Fern arrives at the home in the sweltering summer of 1970, pregnant, terrified and alone. There, she meets a dozen other girls in the same predicament. Rose, a hippie who insists she’s going to keep her baby and escape to a commune. Zinnia, a budding musician who plans to marry her baby’s father. And Holly, barely fourteen, mute and pregnant by no-one-knows-who.

Every moment of their waking day is strictly controlled by adults who claim they know what’s best for them. Then Fern meets a librarian who gives her an occult book about witchcraft, and power is in the hands of the girls for the first time in their lives. But power can destroy as easily as it creates, and it’s never given freely. There’s always a price to be paid . . . and it’s usually paid in blood.

How do we keep our children reading as they grow older?

Join Gill Walker, founder of the Teen Read Institute and an experienced secondary English teacher, for a relaxed, non-judgemental talk exploring why so many pre-teens and teenagers lose interest in reading and, more importantly, what parents can do about it.

A special shout out to the parents and carers of our neighbours down the road, Hellesdon High Schooll, who might be interested!
