Monsters in the Mirror is book one of a beautifully creative fantasy series. I enjoyed every pacey chapter (as old as I am! ), routing for the main characters - who are quirky and at times quite funny - until the very last page.Darwen Arkwright has had to move from...

This is a simply marvellous book; beautifully written and crammed with detail and richness. I would recommend it for older readers as there is a huge amount that is never spelled out but is not really suitable for younger children, possibly not even the oldest and most mature Year 6.<br...

From the award winning and Carnegie nominated Anthony McGowan, this is already set to be another best seller. A real page turner which had me gripped to the end. Lark continues the story of Nicky and Kenny, brothers who have not had the best start in life. But in this tale, things have finally s...

As a teacher, I am always on the lookout for gripping books to make my students think so when this book landed on my desk - based on the power struggle between the Russian and German armies during 1914 - I knew I had to make it a priority to read. Having never read any books by Avi befo...

The School for Good and Evil
Name: Linda Brown
31 January 2019;Genre: Fantasy
The School for Good and Evil was not what I was expecting when I picked it up! This is a funny, frightening, fast-paced twist of a story about the fairy tales that we have all grown up with (I have placed it in the fairy tale category, but could also be called fantasy). <p...

This is one of those quirky stories which is very hard to place in a category and to suggest a readership. Set in the US in the 1970s, it tells of a Lenny (Lenore), her mother and her brother Davey who just keeps growing. Their father, after many journeys away, simply does not return one day s...

The Shield of Lies

This book follows Crystal Run which I loved. I loved this book because there is always a mystery that needs to be revealed and a ending to be discovered. In this book, the main characters Kaia and Joe have been taken prisoner but have to escape back to Carcassia, to stop other Runners from being...
