School holiday activities

Only one week to go and you're free again - well, for two weeks at least... Don't forget there will be a tonne of cool things to do at your library these school holidays. But if you're lucky enough to be going away, why don't you take a book to read while you're lying in the glorious sun on that golden beach? Not that we're jealous or anything...

If you've got a long drive before you get there - take an audiobook to play in the car along the way. Here are a few good suggestions:

• Mates, dates and Portobello Princesses by Cathy Hopkins
• Pictures from the fire by Gaye Hicyilmaz
• Black water by David Metzenthan
• The curious incident of the dog in the night-time by Mark Haddon
• Breathe by Penni Russon

We've also got Harry Potter on audiobook but honestly, people, think outside the square!
