|title=Solo

|author=William Boyd

|rating=4

|genre=Thrillers

|summary=Like Sherlock Holmes, Alice, or even the characters from the Bible, James Bond is no longer just the property of its original author. Ian Fleming may have had the imagination to create Bond, but since ''Casino Royale'' rolled onto the scene Bond has been a changing man who mimics the times he currently finds himself in. William Boyd’s ''Solo'' reverts back to Fleming’s original timeline and continues the story of that Bond, but is this a reflection of the past or today?

|summary=Tariq is going to India. Chanel is going to Spain. And Paris, of course, is going to Paris. Poor Tilly. She’s not going anywhere. Not even to Grandma’s. Mum thinks that they can still enjoy themselves at home. Tilly’s not so sure. Can a visit to the library, the swimming pool, the park and a market really be as much fun as a proper holiday?

~~|title=The Edge of the Cloud~~

~~|author=K M Peyton~~

~~|rating=4.5~~

~~|genre=Confident Readers~~

|summary=First things first: this is a brilliant book and you could read it on its own but it's an extra-brilliant book if you've read the [[Flambards by K M Peyton|first book]] in the Flambards series. It's inevitable that there are going to be spoilers in this review so if you want to get the best out of this series, click away right now. I really won't be offended.
