This month's CBBC Book Club is presented by Alishea and she’s joined in Book Club HQ by Sharna Jackson, the author of “The Wrong Turn”, who talks about writing mysteries, how she was inspired by an American girl-scout leader called Josephine Holloway, and what it’s like to live and write on a boat! Sharna also takes on the Five Word Review challenge.

Alishea also meets comedian and horror writer Bec Hill to discuss her new book, “Now Live: Streaming”, a story all about swapping lives with a famous influencer! Bec talks about how comedy and horror are actually quite similar, why she’d rather be a Snozzcumber from the BFG than a giant peach from James and The Giant Peach, and at one point… actually swaps bodies with Alishea to present book club.

CBBC Book Club is all about celebrating books and getting children excited about reading! Each month Rhys Stephenson is joined by authors, illustrators and celebrities to talk about their latest books, stories they loved reading when they were young, the creative ways in which they write/illustrate and most importantly, getting children involved with games, challenges and book reviews.

This programme is suitable for use with pupils aged 7-12. It is designed primarily for use in English lessons with KS2 pupils in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and with 2nd Level pupils in Scotland.
