Ruby Redfort: Feel the Fear
Name: Anna Glinn
25 November 2014;Genre: Adventure
Lauren Child may have made a name for herself in creating picture books and the brilliant Charlie and Lola but she writes just as distinctive books for older readers. What I enjoy most about the Ruby Redfort series is finding a central character who delights in action and using her natural intell...

Listen to the Moon
Name: Dorne Fraser
24 November 2014;Genre: Adventure
It is May, 1915, and Alfie and his fisherman father find a girl on one of the uninhabited islands in the Scillies. She is injured, alone and frightened with no memory of how she came to the island, in fact no memory of who she is or where she came from. The only word she utters is Lucy and everyo...

The Wrong Side of the Galaxy
Name: Helen Swinyard
22 November 2014;Genre: Adventure
Dispensing with explanation, Thomson's hero Harry wakes up very confused - we as readers know as little as Harry does. Luckily Harry has watched lots of sci-fi on TV, and he's pretty clever, and ironically 'down to earth' which means he manages to escape and navigate his way around aliens, spaces...

Temple Run
Name: Jack Age 11
13 November 2014;Genre: Adventure
Personally, I do not like to read but after looking at the temple run books my opinion on reading has changed. If my library has more of these books I will be in there all the time. Great if they are linked to do a quiz as that is what we have to do at school after we have read a book.

Moone Boy - The Blunder Years
Name: Melanie Chadwick

I was pleasantly surprised by this book; it's not just another copy-cat Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Martin Moone is a kid with plenty of problems and no imagination. He is overwhelmed by his three sisters, his mum and dad seem have given up on him as a general disappointment, and he has the Bonner Bro...

The Rising
Name: Janet Fisher
20 October 2014;Genre: Adventure
This is a beautiful book, from the arresting cover with the owl's talons homing in on the voles beneath, to the story inside peopled with very black drawings by Simon Mendez. It is obvious that a great deal of thought has gone into the making of this book, which make it a joy to handle. The story...

Moshi Monsters
Name: abbie Age 8
08 October 2014;Genre: Young fiction
I like the part when they find their best friend because she had been kidnapt by a bad person who takes there dimonds from moshi. I don't like it when they don't get any food.

Name: Eryn Age 8
08 October 2014;Genre: Animals
I liked the book because it has nice pictures and they are funny and when my mum read it she said it in funny voices and my mum used to read it to me all the time!

the kitten that nobody wanted
Name: tom Age 8

I liked it because a girl called Emily loses a cat but her best friend's cat has kittens and one is the odd one out. She names the odd one whiskers and her best friend gives her the cat and Emily is happy.
