I’m delighted to confirm that my Read to Succeed campaign has once again raised enough money to buy a book for every Year 4 child in the constituency to take home. This year the books have been chosen by the Norfolk Children’s Book Centre and the books that children could receive are Ghost by Jason Reynolds, which is part of the New York Times best-selling series; The Incredible Record Smashers by Jenny Pearson; The Unlucky Eleven by Phil Earle, plus Flying Fergus: The Best Birthday Bike; Football Mad; Game Changers; Let’s Play Football; Level Up! Last One Standing; Rugby Academy; Striking out; and Ultimate Cricket Superstars.
We’ve given more than 15,000 books to students in North East Cambridgeshire over the last eight years thanks to the support and generosity of businesses, organisations, councils and individuals. Many thanks to all those who donated.
