|title=Alice Through the Looking Glass
|author=Emma Chichester Clark
|rating=4.5
|genre=Emerging Readers
|summary=As a child, I found the Alice stories weird and a bit dark. Helena Bonham Carter in book form, perhaps. Not for everyone, no matter how many times the word ''Classic'' was bandied around, identifying them as a Very Good Thing that everyone should have read. If this was your experience of the original Lewis Carroll, then put those thoughts to one side for a moment and let me tell you about this book. It’s the original story, re-told and re-illustrated, and what a difference it makes.

|title=Binary
|summary=Dick Bruna’s picture book ‘Christmas’ tells the story of the nativity in his own inimitable manner. Drawn in his archetypal Miffy style, this tale sweetly captures the spirit and meaning of the season.

|genre=Fantasy
|summary= Spoilers for [[Stormdancer by Jay Kristoff|Stormdancer]] follow so
read it first!
The Shogun is dead, murdered in the public square by 16 year old Kage rebel
Yukiko to avenge her family and in retribution for the evil hold that he has
over the dystopian land of Shima. He may be dead but Hiro (equally nasty
and Yukiko's former lover) has a plan to take power which includes marrying
Aisha, the Shogun's sister and secret Kage sympathiser. Yukiko has to stop
the wedding with the help of Buruu, the flying thunder tiger and Kin, the
former Lotus Guild engineer. Yes, the Lotus Guild - the Shogun's lot.
Yukiko has problems of her own as well, in that her ability to hear the
thoughts of animals and feel the emotions of anyone and anything is becoming
a curse. Meanwhile in Hiro's palace there works No One, below the radar and
beneath contempt, but one day.
