|title=Monster! (Dirty Bertie)

|rating=3.5

|genre=Emerging Readers

|summary=Two things in fiction for the under-sevens seem to be very, very unlikely, at this stage. One is that Dirty Bertie does something sensible, like what his parents tell him, or succeeds for the right reasons at school, or perhaps tidies up. The other unlikely thing seems to be that the Dirty Bertie franchise runs out of ideas. Here are three more stories, for a lively spot on the transition between being read to and reading by yourself, and the quality is pretty much as good as before. Yes, it's evident that in these pages, Bertie and his friends are just as ''bad'' as before.

|summary=New York is home to some of the most iconic and instantly-recognisable pieces of architecture in the world. The city is a mishmash of architectural styles, a place where Classical and Colonial meet Renaissance and Modernist. The result is a glorious fusion that works perfectly and upon closer inspection has a plethora of secrets just waiting to be revealed. Welcome to New York...

~~|author= Vikki Turner~~

~~|title= Toby and Sox: The Heartwarming Tale of a Little Boy With Autism and a Dog in a Million~~

~~|rating= 5~~

~~|genre= Autobiography~~

|summary=''Sometimes I found myself holding him on my knee, quietly crying above his huddled little body – so quietly he wouldn't be able to tell – just hoping that I could physically hold all the broken pieces together and somehow make everything OK.''

Vikki Turner is a busy mum of four, and for her, family is everything. Her first two children gave her no cause for concern, hitting their developmental milestones right on cue and behaving beautifully when in public. When Toby came along, she naturally expected things to be the same, but it soon became apparent that there was something different about him. Toby had a fear of bright lights and insisted on wearing sunglasses wherever he went. Sounds bothered him, so he constantly wore earphones to block out the outside world. Earphones in, sunglasses on and hood up, Toby had created his own 'bubble' in which he could feel safe.
