|title= Otherlife
|rating= 5
|genre= Teens
|summary= Ben has a dark gift: he can see the Otherlife, a world of ancient Norse myths, wildness and danger. It means freedom from exams, warring parents, and everyone's impossible expectations. Then Ben meets Hobie, a charming, ruthless bully. He's a born mischief-maker who always gets away with it. Hobie has everything he could possibly want. Except the Otherlife.

|summary=Rupert Pierpont has put his head above the parapet and taken his juggling act onto a ''Britain's Got Talent''-styled TV show, as you do. Bizarrely there were three other Ruperts contesting, and all four got lumped into the same boy band – The Ruperts, as you do. Several massive albums and hugely successful tours later, the four lads are globally known, and have entered the world of true fandom – the realms where girls know to wear incontinence pads and live with it rather than forsake their front-row concert position, and where girl fans (with their own inclusive, tribal nickname, of course) send online death threats to anyone sexually linked to the stars. The band has got a showcase Thanksgiving TV special to perform in New York, and is in town at a hipsterish swanky hotel. And here is Rupert P waking up surrounded by four huge Ruperts fans, and hardly seeing anything other than girls' tights – as you do.

|rating= 5
|genre=Teens
|summary= I'm hardly the first person to comment on the saturation of the young-adult fiction market in recent years. I've several friends who love YA so much they seem to exclusively read this genre, and here's the thing – I really want to like it, too. I know there's good stuff out there, but it seems like the more I look the less I find. I've slogged my way through dozens – maybe even hundreds, who knows – of formulaic, samey and often downright repetitive books which didn't inspire any of that passion in me.|amazonuk=<amazonuk>1783443812</amazonuk>
