Welcome to the Brownie book club

Brownies, why not take part in our book club? Each month, we review a book. Sometimes they are new books and sometimes they are old classics that you'll find in your school library. Read them and tell us what you think.

Safe for Life

by Katherine Reynolds

Safe for life is the follow up to the adventure novel Born to dance. It tells the story of Dylan de Polka, a loveable tap-dancing horse, his clever friend Red Tabby, and the animals of the Happy Days Circus. A nasty character, Jago Reaver, tries to steal Dylan, Red Tabby and the circus animals' home. Life suddenly becomes very difficult and dangerous for them.

Will Jago's horrid plans succeed or will the animals and their human friends find a way to be safe for life?

Anna, the Brownie Book Club Editor thinks this...

Safe for life is a very exciting story with loads of loveable characters. Although it's the sequel to Born to dance, you don't need to have read that to understand the plot. Look out for the Brownie Katie in Chapter 14. The writer Katherine Reynolds included this character after reading a real Brownie's review of Born to Dance on our Book club! If you're the Kate who posted the review, you really must read this book!

Sam thinks this...

This is a really good book. I really like the bit where the animals make friends with some other animals on a safari park.
