{{newreview

|title=100 People

|author=Masayuki Sebe

|rating=5

|genre=Confident Readers

|summary=If I told you this was a book in which every double page spread features exactly 100 people, and there’s no real story to go with it, you might be underwhelmed. You might wonder what the point would be. But I can tell you in one word: fun.

{{newreview

|title=The Lost Journals of Benjamin Tooth

|summary=I have to admit I was slightly prejudiced about this book. The Little Ghost immediately brought back memories of Robert Bright's ''Georgie '' which I had cherished as a child. Like Georgie, Little Ghost is a wonderful friendly character, if you are looking for a fright, this book will not be at all suitable. But if you jut want a feel good adventure for younger readers, this book is just the thing.

~~|title=The Dinner Club and Other Stories~~

~~|author=Rob Keeley~~

~~|rating=4~~

~~|genre=Confident Readers~~

~~|summary=''Being on home dinners gives Aidan the chance to make some money...''<br>~~

~~''A bridesmaid and a page chase a runaway wedding cake...''<br>~~

~~''Mia and her Dad turn detective...''~~

These are just a few of the premises you can try out for size in Rob Keeley's third book of short stories for middle grade readers. He's really having some fun with this format. I approve. We need more short story collections for this age group. They're entertaining and they appeal particularly to reluctant readers. Short stories like this can act as a springboard to full-length novels.
