|title=A Slightly Jones Mystery: The Case of the Hidden City
|author=Joan Lennon
|rating=4.5
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=Miss Slightly Jones is a thoroughly likeable young person. She is courageous and determined (although her Granny Tonic, who adopted her when her parents died, might use other, less charitable words like foolhardy, impulsive and stubborn) and her quick wit enables her to get out of many a difficult situation. Her hero, needless to say, is the celebrated Sherlock Holmes, and she often seeks inspiration from his cases when she is unable to decide what to do next.

|title=100 People
|summary=Sensing ghosts is a risky business, even if you're as talented as Lucy. And when one simple mistake leads to the death of several children, she sets off for a new start in London. Here there is an absolute epidemic of ectoplasm, icy air and bloodthirsty beings from beyond the grave. But ghost-hunting is big business down south, and the major firms won't hire an unknown. The only agency which will take Lucy is a down-at-heel place run, in the basement of their home, by two teenagers.

|title=The Little Ghost
|author=Otfried Preussler and Anthea Bell
|rating=5
|genre=Confident Readers
|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.
