|summary=Once upon a time, a sweet boy met a sweet girl and they fell perfectly in love. Their love is rich and fulfilling and true. They did what people in love do: moved in together, got married, had a baby. And then something most people don't believe exists crawls into their house through an open window and exchanges their perfect baby for a changeling. It's the start of something bigger than even the switcher can begin to imagine.

|summary=Tony Robinson's Weird World of Wonders is an informative, easy to read book for children covering WW2. I would describe it as something of a cross between a school text book and Terry Deary's Horrible Histories series - as much as I am certain Mr Deary would shudder at the thought of any of his books being crossed with a text book. This isn't quite facts, facts and nothing but the facts, it does break things up with humour, but I would describe this as book meant to teach history, unlike Deary's books which I would describe as books which make reading fun, and just happen to inform children on history as well.

|summary=Back in 1960 Stuart couldn’t get to sleep on a very hot night. He lived at the pub next door to the bus garage and the sounds drifted upwards. A man screamed and then there was the sound of a heavy weight falling. When he jumped out of bed he saw someone scurrying away. No one was interested in what Stuart might have heard, or seen and even he lost interest as the day after the inquest (the mechanic’s death was ‘an accident’, the coroner said) his best friend, Declan, disappeared. Twelve years later Stuart was leading a feckless life but was still convinced that there was a connection between the mechanic’s death and Declan’s disappearance. He was also involved in an illicit love affair with Kathy - and if he had to pick the wrong person then it was Kathy.
