Here is the story of Mary and the Girls, of Zoot, Pretty-Boy and Oubaas, of the Abrahams family who came from Bo-Kaap, of Last-Knight the Barber and his prim wife. This novel is written in tribute to the people of District Six so that we do not forget. 'Buckingham Palace' is a dingy row of five houses in the heart of District Six, a notorious slum area at the foot of Table Mountain overlooking Cape Town. In this lively novel Richard Rive traces this close community through its moments of triumph and despair, its loves, its hatreds - and its bizarre characters. The school edition of Richard Rive's classic story includes an accessible and stimulating introduction by Robin Malan, as well as notes on the book and points for discussion.

A simple way to keep track of the reading children are doing at home. Tracking children's reading is important and we at Pearson know this. That's why we're launching Bug Club Reading Records - a simple way to keep track of the reading children are doing at home that is suitable for both KS1 and KS2 children. At the back of the reading record, there is a Phonics progression chart that explains the sounds covered at each phonics stage and how these relate to our Bug Club book bands as well as a High frequency words chart for adults and children to refer to as well. There are spaces for children to record their thoughts at the bottom of the reading record page and the back page of the book: what they have enjoyed and the new things they have learned or what to learn more about. Are your children reading Bug Club online? On the inside front cover there is a dedicated space for children to record their log in details saving time when it comes to reading those exciting books in ActiveLearn!
