Brownie bookworms

For Children In Need the 3rd Cookham Brownies held a 24-hour book review session - and three of the girls visited Henry Kelly on BBC Radio Berkshire to take part in a special CiN book club. Listen and read their reviews here!

A bunch of Brownie bookworms spent a total of 24 hours thumbing through pages of children's stories in aid of Children In Need.

The 24 girls in the 3rd Cookham Brownies all read together for an hour - making a total of 24 hours - and hope to raise more than £200.

Books

Eve Seymoor reviewed Finn Family Moomintroll Swedish title: Trollkarlens hatt
Rating 9/10

"It is a very interesting and creative book about very extraordinary characters. I have given it a 9/10 because it has a funny name. I would recommend it to people from 9 years +"

Ella Street reviewed Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix by JK Rowling
Rating 10/10

"The book is very interesting with lots of detail. I can't put it down. My favourite characters are Sirius Black in dog form, Luna Lovegood and Ginny.
" I love the book; it's very exciting, funny and sad. It's really enjoyable, but I think Ron and Hermine are not themselves, because they argue between themselves less which is not as funny.

"I would recommend it to people from 6/7 years +"

Charlotte Willis reviewed High School Musical the Book of the Film by N B Grace
Rating 8/10

"It was a cool book but there could have been some more interesting words! But I've seen the film and it's very like the book and I enjoyed reading it! I would recommend it to people aged 6-9 years."

It is a great opportunity for youngsters to speak on live Radio.
