|title=Jedi Academy 2: Return of the Padawan

|author=Jeffrey Brown

|rating=4.5

|genre=Confident Readers

|summary=A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

There lived a boy called Roan Novachez who always dreamed of being a pilot like his big brother. Fate works in mysterious ways and poor Roan ended up at Jedi academy instead. His first year was full of drama and tween angst; trying to make friends, fit in, impress girls and avoid lightsaber-wielding bullies. Roan thinks this year is going to be different: '''This school year will definitely be the BEST YEAR EVER!' Of course, nobody told Roan that when you make statements like that, you are just asking for trouble...

~~|title=My New Home~~

~~|author=Marta Altes~~

~~|rating=4~~

~~|genre=For Sharing~~

|summary=We moved house a lot when I was a child. I became an accomplished letter writer in a desperate attempt to keep in touch with old friends. I wish I had had a book like this one. It's hard moving home as a child, and as much as grown ups can tell you it's exciting and wonderful and won't it be marvellous to have a new pink bedroom it actually leaves you feeling very lost and scared and alone. This story introduces us to a little raccoon who has moved house and who is struggling a little bit with missing her old friends and making new ones.

~~|title=Noggin~~

~~|author=John Corey Whaley~~

~~|rating=5~~

~~|genre=Teens~~

|summary='Listen. I was alive once and then I wasn't. Simple as that. Now I'm alive again. The in-between part is still a little fuzzy, but I can tell you that, at some point or another, my head got chopped off and shoved into a freezer in Denver, Colorado.'

Erk! That's how ''Noggin'' begins and I defy you not to want to read on. Travis Coates was terminally ill. In a last ditch Hail Mary, he consented to cryogenic preservation. And now, he's back, his head grafted onto a donor body. Of all the original volunteers, Travis is one of only two patients successfully brought back to life. It's a cause for celebration, right?
