|title=Paddington's Adventures

|author=Michael Bond

|rating=5

|genre=Confident Readers

|summary=Paddington might be mistaken for a suitable wedding usher, a doctor, and an illegal busker, but he is really just the original bear from Darkest Peru, with the charming ability to get into as many scrapes as one could wish. Paddington might cause confusion at the dentist's, the gymkhana or at the posh restaurant, but he will always land on his feet. Paddington might be able to completely befuddle a host of school teachers, a judge or anyone, but he is still the most loved occupant of the Brown's household, 32 Windsor Gardens, London. And this trilogy shows how he should be pretty much loved in many other households too.

|title=Big Nate in the Zone

|summary=''Much of what passes for invasion biology is poorly supported hype.'' So says our author, and you can easily fall into agreeing with him after reading his book. In much the same way the ''Daily Mail'' et al have their own attitudes to immigrants of the human kind, so it would appear do many people have similar notions about immigrant species. And the end results might be much more damaging.

~~The Collected Works of A J Fikry~~

~~|author=Gabrielle Zevin~~

~~|rating=4~~

~~|genre=General Fiction~~

|summary=A J Fikry is not having a good time. He's lost his wife to a car crash, and he's not making that much money. The book store he runs, stuck out on a limb on a quiet island community, is too remote to turn a profit year-round, and he has just dismissed the latest publisher's rep to turn up at his door, partly because her previous counterpart, an inconsequential part of A J's life when all is said and done, had died and he didn't know about it. But his bad time is about to get a lot worse, as the one thing he owns worth the most – a rare book, more valuable than his house, his business, anything – is about to vanish. Which bizarrely will cause several major changes to his one-person household…
