Mason Buttle vs Ghost Boys

Everyone at Ellerslie loved Mason Buttle.  It was one of our first books to read in Round 1. 
We loved the character of Mason Buttle, and all of us concurred that when we started to
read it, we couldn’t put it down! His character was very well developed, although at the
expense of some of the other secondary characters being a bit more flat!

Mason Buttle was a bit of a mystery, with an anti-hero, and yet teaching empathy
the whole time.  We think this is a great read and accessible for children in Divisions
2 and 3 and will be an excellent read aloud:)
