|title=Diary Of Dorkius Maximus In Egypt

|author=Tim Collins

|rating=5

|genre=Confident Readers

|summary=Having enjoyed the [[Diary Of Dorkius Maximus by Tim Collins|first book in this series]] we were quite keen to try the sequel. Although this is part of what I hope will be a very long series, it is not necessary to have read the first book to enjoy this one. This book sees Dorkius Maximus rewarded for his activities by being asked to accompany Caesar on an important visit to Egypt. Ceasar hopes young Dorkius may be able to help negotiate a deal with the odious King Ptolemy, who happens to be about the same age as our hero.

|title=Looking for Bear

|summary=They say you should live your life like an adventure, and Big Nate certainly does that, even if it is only four panels at a time, meaning the full plot of the story can take a week or more to come out. For Big Nate is a star of an American newspaper comic strip, and this, believe it or not, is his tenth collection. We learn from this all about his friendships at school, his relations with his teachers and father, and just what a soppy thing his most unmasculine dog can be. Here are comics, baseball and laziness, as every American kid knows them. Luckily for us, though, Big Nate travels well.

~~|title=The Bomber Dog~~

~~|author=Megan Rix~~

~~|rating=4.5~~

~~|genre=Confident Readers~~

|summary=Grey begins his life in occupied France, but Sabina can not bear to see him handed over to the German Army and ends up tossing the pup into a departing boat heading for Dover. We never know why the soldiers agreed to take him, perhaps refusing might have drawn attention. But for whatever reason Grey finds himself alone that night. He is befriended by a small spaniel who has become lost when a her owner was injured in an air raid. Molly's devotion to Grey will help him grow up, and he will repay his debt to her in act of courage that draws the attention of Young Nathan, a young dog lover who is just getting ready to start basic training. Nathan desperately tries to find a home for the dog, but Colonel Parry offers them a unique chance to stay with the dog that has so quickly won his heart. They can both train as paratroopers. Grey seems uniquely suited to this task with his courage and high intelligence. There is only one problem - Nathan is terrified of heights.
