At this school, the Tom Gates, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Dog Man series of books are extremely popular but once children have read these books they are often left feeling lost. Planet Omar is a fantastic next step from these books and contains that same sense of humour which will get children laughing but with higher level vocabulary and deeper storylines which will get children to push their reading to the next level. 

Planet Omar by Zanib Mian

Reading Age: year 3 - year 6

Genre: humour, fiction, illustration & PSHE

A top tip from one of our inspiring librarians is to engage children in reading by leaving books in the car for them to read during stops. If your child would feel ill doing this then audiobooks through Spotify are a fantastic alternative.
