12 year old Skye Green is determined to have a book of her very own published so she writes about her mortifying life as an almost 13 year old girl - she is always being embarrassed by her flamboyant, quirky mum.

15 January 2018;When a princess - who doesn't want to be a princess - swaps places with another girl at her school, it starts a lot of dramas. There are lots of things happening and the girls get into trouble A LOT. I'd love to read another book in this series!!!

Nevermoor
Name: Azra Age 9
15 January 2018;Genre: Adventure
I liked this book because it's a mixture of all the things I like in books like fantasy, mystery and magic and adventure. It's a bit like a jigsaw puzzle, you have to find all the missing bits as you read and then it all makes sense at the end.

Nevermoor
Name: Emily Age 9
15 January 2018;Genre: Adventure
I really liked this because it is a fantasy story that's full of adventure and you don't know where it's going so it's always surprising! I especially liked the trials in the story where the children have to discover what skill they have, their 'knack' - one of the children can ride dragons!

Words and Your Heart
Name: K Kaur

It's a message suitable for anybody and for children of any age. Young children may be surprised by the powe...

Rabbit and Bear, Attack of the Snack
Name: Sam Phillips
08 January 2018;Genre: Adventure
I loved this book! Sadly I've never read any of the other Rabbit and Bear stories but I certainly will now. This beautifully illustrated book tells a very funny story of the unlikely friendship between a rabbit and a bear. It's an ideal choice for early readers ready for a 'step-up' from picture...

The Unpredictability of being Human
Name: Linda Brown
07 January 2018;Genre: Adventure
I'm going to start with a quote from the press release about this debut novel... 'introducing a comic and captivating coming of age story that never pretends life is perfect'. This sums up this little gem of a book by this new author. The story revolves around a 14 year old girl named Malin who...
