|title=Star Wars: Rogue One: Junior Novel
|rating=3.5
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=The bad thing about bad people is they keep on getting worse. The Empire has done so much evil, but they're finding new depths – they've managed to get enough of a special kind of crystal to power a new planet-shattering weapon, the Death Star. The Rebel Alliance, such as it is, have found out this is no mere rumour, courtesy of word from the horse's mouth in the shape of an escaped Imperial pilot, and news has followed it that could inspire them to fight back, of a potential set of plans showing a flaw in the weapon's construction. But with the search for the plans going to be so dangerous, and with anything that might result from them going to be such a hare-brained response, how dare they possibly commit any of their limited resources on even getting them?

|summary=A modern Cruella De Vil – only with beetles rather than Dalmatians – Lucretia Cutter has a plan: a plan that will dramatically (and theatrically) unleash her latest batch of genetically modified and highly intelligent beetles. The consequences will be devastating for mankind but few realise the danger. Luckily firm friends Darkus, Virginia and Bertolt have figured out that Lucretia Cutter is up to something and are determined to do whatever it takes to stop the evil beetle diva.

|title= Arthur and the Kings of Britain: The Historical Truth Behind the Myths
|rating= 4.5
|genre= History
|summary= As the author of the Historia Regum Britanniae (History of the Kings of Britain), written in 1136, Geoffrey of Monmouth is commonly recognized as one of the first British historians. His book told – or is supposed to have told - the story of the British monarchy during the Dark Ages, from the arrival of the Trojan Brutus, grandson of Aeneas, up to the seventh century AD when the Anglo-Saxons had taken control of Britain. Being virtually the only work of its kind at the time, it proved very influential, and became well-known throughout western Europe as one of the great works of medieval literature as the first retelling of the story of King Arthur, Lear and Cymbeline. Shakespeare was forever in his debt with regard to the two latter.
