|author= Ransom Riggs

|title= Tales of the Peculiar

|rating= 5

|genre= Teens

|summary= A fork-tongued princess. A boy who can control the currents of the sea. Cannibals who feast on the limbs of a village of peculiars. These are just a few of the brilliant stories to be found in ''Tales of the Peculiar'', all of which hold mystical information about the peculiar world - a place familiar to many of us since its first introduction by Ransom Riggs in [[Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs|Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children]]. The stories in this collection explore peculiar history and folklore in a wonderfully imaginative way, and also include some beautiful illustrations to accompany each of the tales.

~~|author= E K Johnston~~

~~|title= A Thousand Nights~~

~~|rating= 4~~

~~|genre= Teens~~

|summary=E. K Johnston describes ''1000 Nights'' as a work fashioned around the creation of beautiful crafts charged with magic. She confesses that her setting is not historically accurate, explaining, ''I cheated a bit, because the usual date for the stories ranges from Middle Persian literature to the Caliphate Era, and I set the book about two thousand years before that.'' Her locations are beautifully evoked and based on her sensory experiences as an archaeologist in Jordan. A Turkish bath in Amman, the Umayyad palace on top of the Amman Citadel and the swirling sands at Wadi Rum are just a few sources she has used to recreate the spirit of Lo Melkhiin's dangerous ''qasr'' [Middle Eastern palace] juxtaposed with the mercurial nature of his wife's desert home.
