STAFF BOOK CLUB

For our Staff Book Club, staff agree on a book to read and arrange to meet up in our school library during home learning club once a half term to discuss it; this allows students to see us as reading role models and it benefits our wellbeing too. Everyone has their own perspective so the discussions are varied and interesting.

In June/July we read: The Girls Who Disappeared by Claire Douglas

We all enjoyed the book and discussed the various theories we had had as we read the book. We were impressed with how the two narratives eventually combined, but felt the ending was a bit rushed.

Twenty years ago: One rainy night, Olivia Rutherford is driving three friends home when a figure in the road causes her to swerve and crash. Regaining consciousness, she finds herself alone in the car – her friends have vanished. THEY ARE NEVER SEEN AGAIN.

Now: Journalist Jenna Halliday visits the close-knit community of Stafferbury to persuade Olivia to talk and solve the mystery of the girls’ disappearance.
