19/09/2025Book of the week📖
This week, we spotlight a powerful and unforgettable story.
My Name is Samim is heartbreaking, hopeful, and deeply human. It invites readers to walk alongside Samim as he fights for a place to call home. Fidan Meikle’s writing is wry, warm, and utterly immersive - a stunning debut that shines a light on the experiences of young refugees.
Perfect for readers in Years 7–9 who are ready to explore themes of courage, friendship, and the search for belonging.
Available now in the library. Come borrow it, and let Samim’s story stay with you.
