|title=50 Things You Should Know About The First World War
|author=Jim Eldridge
|rating=4
|genre=Children's Non-Fiction
|summary=It's a non-fiction book certainly for the primary school audience, and as a result is fully pictorial and not terribly wordy. The '50 Things' idea is a hook to draw one in, and that leads to fifty more salient paragraphs being given us in bold print, mostly but not all given a double-page spread. But there are other boxed-out paragraphs, timelines, factoids written up the edge of the page, illuminating captions and more, so there is certainly a welter of detail. Said diversity of detail can be delivered at times in awkward fashion – even with three paragraphs at most per page it can still be a test to read them in the right order – but it does mean this book covers the gamut of the War, pretty much in chronological order, and more or less in perfectly-judged depth.

|title=The Secrets of Stonehenge
|summary=I feel a pattern forming. After three books in the [[:Category:Rachel Renee Russell|Dork Diaries series]] came a throw-away, [[Dork Diaries: How to Dork Your Diary by Rachel Renee Russell|tie-in volume]] that offered a bit of a story to it but was not full-on plot and action like the routine books. After six real novels comes this, where for the first time the star of the book really is not Nikki Maxwell, but whoever buys it (or gets it bought for them). This is where the franchise branches away from fiction, to cover the purchaser or fan of the series, and gives her the chance to spill about herself, her school life, and her BFFs. I think this is where I'm supposed to go ''SQUEEEEEEE!!!!!!''
