{{newreview

|title=Urban Outlaws

|author=Peter Jay Black

|rating=5

|genre=Confident Readers

|summary=What skills would you need to trick the rich and powerful out of their ill-gotten gains? A posse of brilliant lawyers and accountants with elastic consciences? A cache of guns and bombs? Well, maybe, although it is very possible that all that will do is to turn you into villains as dirty as your marks. And, if you'll forgive the sudden descent into street-speak, that's not the way these five young Urban Outlaws roll.

{{newreview

|title=The Four Seasons of Lucy Mckenzie

|summary=If you like your fiction full of heart-stopping adventures, mysterious cults and constant danger, then you'll love this book. Codes, puzzles and ancient secrets abound, and there is no doubt that the publisher's comparison with the novels for adults written by Dan Brown is justified. There's drama and deadly peril on pretty well every page.

~~|title=The Diary of Dennis the Menace~~

~~|author=Steven Butler~~

~~|rating=4~~

~~|genre=Confident Readers~~

|summary=Wimpy Kid-styled books, from those by [[:Category:Jeff Kinney|Jeff Kinney]] right down to those by [[:Category:Jim Smith|Jim Smith]] have always served as a bridge for the reluctant reader, taking him or her into a world halfway between a comic book and an actual novel. With careful design and a healthy picture-to-word ratio the child only used to reading speech bubbles and cartoon captions has managed a proper book before they've realised it. So it makes perfect sense for publishers to allow a franchise to cross over from one format to the other – and this example is the first one to come to my attention. Even if, when you think about it, it seems a very unlikely book in the first place…
