The Boy Who Made the World Disappear…

Today, the children took a little look at the book ‘The Boy Who Made the World Disappear’ by Ben Miller. We began by talking about what a blurb is, what it does and where they would find it. We then read the blurb to see if the children would be interested in reading this book. Here it is…

‘Harrison tries his best to be good. He doesn’t steal, he always shares with his sister, and he never cheats at board games. But Harrison also has a BIG flaw – he can’t control his temper.

So when he’s given a black hole instead of a balloon at a party, Harrison jumps at the chance to get rid of everything that makes him cross. But then the things he loves start disappearing too and Harrison realises that sometimes you should be careful what you wish for…’

We then discussed what we would throw into a black hole if we had the chance. Death, plastic, littering and nightmares were just a few of the things that the children came up with in order to make our world a better place.

Well done, Year 4!
