|author= Sarah Powell

|title= Search and Find: Pride & Prejudice: A Jane Austen Search and Find Book

|rating= 4

|genre= Emerging Readers

|summary= Search and find books are usually aimed at children. They are a good bit of fun, but they are also a good study tool for adult readers alike. Jane Austen is a fantastic novelist, but her style of writing can be daunting for those not used to such heavy prose. It is very easy to become lost in the myriad of dialogue, characters and events. I find a good plot summary helps when approaching her works, this was especially so in the case of the perplexing and long-winded Emma.

|author=Patrice Lawrence

|summary= One day ''the Thing'' falls from the sky and four strangers stumble across it. At first they are confused. What is ''the Thing''? What does it do? What is it for? Then the four of them decide to work together to look after and care for '''the Thing''. Soon word spreads about ''the Thing'' and others come from far and wide to find out more. Gradually a media circus builds up around ''the Thing''. Throughout all of this ''the Thing'' remains silent. Then just as suddenly and silently as it arrived ''the Thing'' departs.

~~|title=Around the World Colouring Book~~

~~|rating=4~~

~~|genre=Children's Non-Fiction~~

|summary=Colouring books are a useful way for children to relax, develop manual dexterity and explore colour, but in the dash to appeal to the child so many miss the opportunity to be gently educational ''and'' to still appeal to the young. The two are not mutually exclusive! Look for instance at this colouring book: it's got page upon page of pictures to colour (with just a little narrative to set the scene) with the added attraction of four pages of stickers. You'll see grey shapes - and that's the signal to get stickering!

~~|title= A Change Is Gonna Come~~

~~|rating= 5~~

~~|genre= Teens~~

|summary= ''A Change Is Gonna Come'' is an anthology of stories and poems interpreting the theme of change by twelve BAME writers. It's Stripes Publishing's response to the under-representation of BAME authors in the UK. And it's a great response.
