KPE Episode 248: "Copper Top"

"Copper Top" by Coral Atkinson

Recently we were very priviledged to receive a complementary copy of the newly released children's book, "Copper Top" from the author. Coral Atkinson lives in Canterbury, in the South Island of New Zealand.
" Copper Top follows the fortunes of feisty young Irish heroine Aisling Lynch, and is set in the West Coast goldfields of the 1860s. The book is ideal for readers aged 9 to 13."
Toreka and Selena both read this book and after declaring it a great read, wrote and recorded this podcast about the book.
Have a listen and leave them some feedback....

    What a wonderful podcast. You were both very convincing -this is obviously a must- read adventure book. I'm going to recommend it to all my friends.
    Thank you!

    Well done girls, that was a really interesting podcast you have produced. It sure sounds like an interesting book to read. I quite like reading historical novels that give you a really good feel for how life was back in another time. Isnt it great that you can also listen to the author reading her book.
    Hope your holidays are going well- catch up with you soon, back at school.

    Girls,

    That podcast was great! In fact, I checked "cool!" What a great idea. I think we may try something different at storytime tonight and let my children listen to one of your stories.

    Hi Toreka and Selena,

    It is great to see and hear that your dynamic oratory in person is just as striking in a podcast. After learning about Point England from your presentation during our tour of New Zealand schools, I am thrilled to recognize you as I listen to your book review. I can almost picture your facial expressions in my mind's eye. Your review was very informative and engaging.

    Keep up the great work!
