|title=Star for a Day
|rating=5
|genre=Dyslexia Friendly
|summary=Lucy French (Luce to her grandad) is thirteen and she lives with said Grandad, Mum - and eleven-year-old Lola. Lola's the one who gets all the attention, is able to loosen Mum's purse strings with a pout of her lip and who was upset when she only got Highly Commended in last year's Talent Show. This year she will, of course, require a ''completely'' new outfit and the undivided attention of the family - and that not long after she's had a new outfit to go to a party. Lola is gorgeous, bubbly and brims over with confidence.
 
Lucy isn't - and doesn't.

|summary=Lucy Maud Montgomery, the Canadian author, is best known for her classic story, ''Anne of Green Gables'', but in her lifetime she wrote a large number of books that are not so well known. This story is one of them, and is, in fact, one of my favourite stories. Jane Stuart is a wonderful heroine. She is straight-talking, down-to-earth, and funny too. This book follows her journey from a life of misery, closeted in a home lacking in love, through to a joyous happy ending.

Well, he was, for he visited a Portaloo one Christmas Market time and it blew up, leaving just his shoes. Only Noelle and her sister, the vicious Holly, are left thinking the case is something much greater – the police have given up, as has the girls' mother, who has turned into a slob on the couch. But impetus is given to Noelle by unusual things her unusual maths teacher has been getting her to solve…
