Binny Keeps a Secret: Book 2
Hilary McKay
From the winner of the Costa Children’s Book Award 2018.
With her awful secondhand uniform and stuck-up classmates, Binny’s new school is horrible. And life gets even worse when a storm damages the roof of her house, forcing Binny and her family to move to the countryside whilst it’s being fixed. Binny, her sensible older sister Clem and her rambunctious brother James (and his chickens) begin adjusting to life in the country. Then one of James’s beloved chickens vanishes and Binny finds strange footprints in the mud. What kind of creature is lurking in the undergrowth?
Reviews
This was a brilliant book and I loved the ending. I was super suprised that Binny then became best friends with the girl who was bullying her! It was also incredibly satisfying how it toyed in with Hilary's other book 'The Skylarks' War'.

This book is an adventure book. The chapters are set in two different times. One chapter will be about Binny, Clare (who was Binny's enemy) and Binny's family. Then, the neaxt chapter might be about Clarry, Rupe and Peter who you will meet in the story. You should read this book because it is very interesting and exiting, also this is the type of book that you don't want to stop reading most of the time. This book could be improved by being a bit more descriptive, to add to that the author is constantly using the word 'and'. Some parts of the book aren't written in the best way, (they could end up differently) but that doesn't stop the book from being a good read.
