|summary=Down The Rabbit Hole is a fictional tale of a young boy’s life as the son of a Mexican drug lord. Tochtli narrates the story and gives us a child’s view of the sordid world that his father rules. We are shown the positives and negatives of this kind of lifestyle as Tochtli sees things, from presents galore to having to call his father by his first name. This book is a strange blend of childlike wonder within a violent world.

|summary=There's an old joke that, for parents, there are only two good days in the school holidays - the first and the last, but in St Ambrose the ''real'' work begins when the children go back to school at the start of the new school year. There's a new head at the school (and he'll have to be knocked into shape) but the real power is Beatrice - 'Bea' to those whom she elects to call friends for the time being - who rules the parents, decides who is in or out and what status they should have in the community. And how does she do it? Well, she's the queen.

|title=A Bright Moon For Fools
|rating=4
|genre=General Fiction
|summary=Jasper Gibson’s debut novel, A Bright Moon For Fools, tells the story of Harry Christmas and his drunken escapades in Caracas and the small villages of Venezuela. Harry Christmas is nowhere near as jolly as his name suggests, in fact Harry is drunken conman. He has pushed his luck too far and is forced to fly to Venezuela to evade William Slade, the irate son of a woman Harry fleeced out of £27,000. Harry’s life is defined by booze and where to get the next drink; he is having a major breakdown. Slade is no better off and is also having his own mental crisis: unfortunately for Harry, Slade’s breakdown is of a much more psychotic nature.
