|title=Black Dove, White Raven
|rating=5
|genre=Teens
|summary=The essential role of aviators in the success or failure of modern war is a given, and fiction is full of the derring-do and dog-fight exploits of moustachioed heroes waving their trade-mark silk scarves as they land their frail and battered craft at a friendly airstrip. But what if the enemy planes outnumber those of your country by hundreds, if not thousands, and you, the pilot, are barely out of your childhood?

|summary=Fifteen year old Adam has a list. He needs to get better, grow taller and marry the love of his life, Robyn. But while Adam develops a metaphorical tunnel vision so that he can focus only on winning Robyn’s love, everything he is ignoring in the periphery is unravelling. How can Adam help his own overwhelming OCD when he’s so focussed on fixing everyone around him? When is it ok to hang up your own superhero cloak and admit that you might need saving?

|author=Dorthe Nors
|title=Karate Chop, and Minna Needs Rehearsal Space
|rating=3.5
|genre=Short Stories
|summary=The reviewer picks up the book.<br>
The book is called ''Minna Needs Rehearsal Space''.<br>
The book is entirely made out of one-sentence paragraphs.<br>
The one-sentence paragraphs are very seldom poetic, but normally are grammatically correct sentences.<br>
The one-sentence paragraphs on the whole have just one verb, unless regarding that from reported or unreported speech.<br>
The book concerns a middle-aged musician and composer who does indeed need rehearsal space.<br>
The book concerns a woman who suddenly gets more space than she wants when her boyfriend leaves her.<br>
The boyfriend's departure causes a lot of people crowding around Minna, which causes a problem.<br>
The problem might be resolved by a trip away from her city flat.<br>
The title of the book might be ironic.
