Suggested Y6/7 Transition reading list

These are all books either linked to the topics you will study in Year 7 or are written by the same author.

Millions - Frank Cottrell Boyce (You’ll read another novel by the same author later in Year 7!)

The Final Year - Matt Goodfellow (This is a story about leaving primary school, much like the short stories you’ll read when you first start at WW)

Jane Eyre:Abridged - Patrice Lawrence (Prepare yourself to read the original version in Year 7)

Malarkey - Keith Gray (If you liked this, you’ll love ‘Ostrich Boys’ when you’re in Year 8)

Run Wild - Gill Lewis (If you’re an animal lover, this one’s for you)
