In the age of smartphones, tablets, youtube, vimeo, snapchat, vlogging, etc. etc. it is now easier than ever to view some great video book trailers which give a flavour of the books to whet your appetite to read them. This is a good way to stumble across books that perhaps you wouldn't have thought about reading.

Here are a couple of trailers to  books which I wholeheartedly recommend. If you find a great book trailer then  send a link to j.button@warriner.oxon.sch.uk
