Why do CDS Dancers love to read? Here are some of their responses;

“I find it exciting to follow stories with clever twists and turns”

“Reading helps me to focus on my learning”

“I find reading is a nice way to relax”

“I like books that are entertaining”

 

Here are some recommended books from the dancers;

‘Good Girls Guide to Murder’ by Holly Jackson

‘The Hunger Games’ by Suzanne Collins

‘Coraline: The Graphic Novel’ by Neil Gaiman

‘Alice in Wonderland’ by Tui Sutherland

‘A Pen Dipped in Poison’ by J. M. Hall
