|title=I'll Be Home For Christmas
|author=Benjamin Zephaniah and Others
|rating=5
|genre=Teens
|summary=Publisher Little Tiger and homelessness charity Crisis have got together and produced ''I'll Be Home For Christmas'' - an anthology of short stories from some of the most popular writers on the UK YA scene. The stories are connected by the theme of home. What does home mean to you? Is it your house, the physical place where you live? Is it your family? Your friends? Home can mean different things to different people, can't it? The book opens with a powerful poem by Bookbag favourite, Benjamin Zephaniah. The following stories are disparate - some telling tales of hardship and fear, some warming the cockles of your heart. But all of them are about ''home''.

|summary=Amy works for Claralingua, a London education company that runs English schools all over the world, and Amy is travelling to Gulavstadt, a remote town in Eastern Europe, to inspect one of the schools. Gulavstadt is a town of myths and the setting of a recent horror film, ''The Thing Behind the Trees'', exploiting them - featuring medieval, flesh-eating ghouls with mouths lined with the sharpest of teeth. But myths don't bother Amy...

|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.
