BOOK OF THE WEEK: Beatrix Bryan in Grade 6 believes that anyone who loves adventure and time travel would love this book. Three children find themselves onboard a scientific research ship sailing through hazardous waters, captained by Isaac Newton. They are lost in the year 2473 in the Wonderscape, an epic in-reality adventure game, and they need to play to get home.
The Grade 3 class love bringing stories to life on stage and will find all sorts of inventive ways to do so.
