Book of the Week

Catch Me If I Fall by Barry Jonsberg is a thoughtful read for middle-grade students and most suited to the 10 – 14 year age group. Set in a dystopian Australian future, the novel prompts students to think about issues such as climate change, global warming, sustainability and food security, as well as ethical considerations around the use of artificial intelligence. It is very readable and would work well as a class novel study.
