|title=Nine Ways to Empower Tweens
|rating=4.5
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary='' ''9 Ways to Empower Tweens'' is a self help book for tweens, setting out to show them vital #lifeskills. Don't groan! I know there is a market glut of such books for we grown ups and for young adults too, but there is a needful space in an increasingly technological world accessible to younger and younger children for material for tweens too.

It's becoming easier and easier to spot books for the young about pirates – that surely is about the only career from the seventeenth century that gets so many volumes produced about it. It must be a combination of the derring-do, the illegality, and of course the fancy dress and silly speak that appeals – nowhere else would you see a youngster studying one country's attacks on another, and reading about how treasures, slaves and other resources changed hands. This volume, however, tries its best to stand out, and has adopted the equally prevalent concept of getting the reader to pore over large dioramas to seek the small detail hidden in the images. For once, though, there's a thoroughly educative reasoning behind it. [[Pirates Magnified: With a 3x Magnifying Glass by David Long and Harry Bloom|Full Review]]

''Build It! 25 Creative STEM Projects for Budding Engineers'' takes a strictly hands-on approach to science to show how scientific ideas can be applied to real-world situations. The book contains 25 projects with varying degrees of complexity to demonstrate topics such as air travel, programmable machines, light, motion and electricity. The book is designed with the younger scientist in mind, so there is a focus on the fun aspect, with many of the projects involving toys.
