Catamarans and Sunbeams (Year 6 and Year 5): J.K Rowling
J.K Rowling is the author of the famous Harry Potter series and many other amazing books, like the Ickabog and the Christmas Pig. She enjoyed writing from a very young age. Her books are mostly adventure and fantasy, with daring twists and happy endings. Some of the later Harry Potter books may have some older content within for younger members of KS2, but if you enjoy action-packed and magical novels, you will love her books!
