|title=Arthur Quinn and Hell's Keeper (The Father of Lies Chronicles)

|author=Alan Early

|rating=5

|genre=Confident Readers

|summary=It’s only been a week since Arthur Quinn returned to his home in Kerry. After defeating the World Serpent, after battling the Fenris Wolf and losing an eye in his efforts, you’d think he’d be glad of the peace, quiet and normality of his old home. But within the week that unsettled feeling is back. The pendant that protects Arthur from the Father of Lies is glowing bright green and the war hammer he found under the streets of Dublin is radiating an insistent warmth as if preparing, once again, for battle. The dreams have returned; dreams of an ancient past in Asgard, dreams warning of terrible events to come. And now, it’s not just Arthur having those dreams. It seems the entire world is seeing the same thing. Loki is on the move.

|summary=Ben is most definitely a ''dog person''. He would love his own pet dog, but mum keeps refusing. He has the next best thing, an online cyberdog called Shadow, but what he really wants is a living, breathing, loyal canine companion to call his own. His best friend has a dog. Why can’t he? It seems like it is never the right time to approach mum about it, as she is always tired, teary and depressed since dad left.

~~|title=Heart-shaped~~

~~|author=Siobhan Parkinson~~

~~|rating=5~~

~~|genre=Teens~~

|summary=Ok. Before I even start reviewing, I need to explain just how much I loved this book. It's the companion to an earlier story from Siobhan Parkinson, ''Bruised'', over the same timeframe, and following a supporting character whose story is intimately connected. Before I'd read to the end of the first chapter of ''Heart-shaped'', which is all of two-and-a-half pages long, I'd fallen in love with Annie. And I knew I couldn't bear to read her story without reading Jono's, in ''Bruised'', first. So I rushed orff to Amazon and downloaded it to my Kindle. You might not find that particularly surprising, but it is. I review books. I hardly ever buy books because I have a pile of advance copies shouting ''My turn! My turn!'' whenever I look their way.

~~|title=Oliver Fibbs 2: The Giant Boy-Munching Bugs~~

~~|author=Steve Hartley~~

~~|rating=5~~

~~|genre=Confident Readers~~

~~|summary=~~

Oliver Tibbs is an average child in a very above average family. His mother is a brain surgeon, his father a famous architect, his sisters are the stars of the National Ballet Academy and his little brother is a genius with a talent for maths and a chess champion. Oliver's parents are desperate to find some as of yet undiscovered talent for their ordinary son, but so far it looks likes Oliver's only talents are reading comics, making up fibs, and eating pizza. I think Oliver did have his own genius though, as most children do, and while his parents desperately searched for something he could excel at, his hidden talent was right under their noses the whole time.
