|title=Atticus Claw Lends a Paw

|author=Jennifer Gray

|rating=4

|genre=Confident Readers

|summary=Things are quiet in Littleton-on-Sea, now that Atticus is no longer the world's greatest cat burglar. All he has to contend with is a mischievous bunch of kittens that might cause trouble for the male in the human family he lives with, him being a policeman and all. But nothing breaks the quiet like an old noise, and when people learn that the previous owner of the local mansion discovered the remains of the ancient city of the Cat Pharaoh and left his secrets locally, many ears are pricked, both for good and bad. But what does buried treasure protected by curses have to do with a spate of guerrilla knitting?

|title=The Phenomenals: A Game of Ghouls

|summary=Tallulah has ''secretly done Number 6 with the Dark Black Crow of Heckmondwhite'', if you don't know. What that means is that she has had a lip-lock with a Yorkshire boy who's all dark and moody and mean-seeming, and she shouldn't perhaps have snogged him because she likes another boy, and another, older boy – with a girlfriend – seems to like her a lot. What that means is that we are firmly in [[:Category:Louise Rennison|Louise Rennison]] territory.

~~|title=The Grunts All At Sea~~

~~|author=Philip Ardagh and Axel Scheffler~~

~~|rating=4~~

~~|genre=Confident Readers~~

|summary=Mr and Mrs Grunt are a rather despicable couple. They are dirty and violent and always throwing things at each other. They eat things like dead badger scraped off the roadside, and like using ''very rude words''. But as disgusting and depraved as they are, they are not evil. They are more like overgrown, badly behaved toddlers who haven't seen a bath in years. They fight and throw things, but honestly seem to care about each other as well on some level. They live with their adopted, or more accurately kidnapped son, who doesn't seem to notice that wearing dresses is unusual for a boy, and Mrs Grump has taken the trouble to dye them blue. Rather than a house they live in a caravan that looks like a cross between a camping caravan and an outhouse, and is pulled by a large elephant, with two donkeys riding in their own trailer behind.
