|title=Fools' Gold
|author=Philippa Gregory
|rating=4
|genre=Teens
|summary=Sent to Venice, the world's biggest marketplace, Luca Vero and his friends are given strange instructions - to make money for the church by trading and even gambling. It's the only way to expose a possible coin counterfeiting scheme, but it also opens them up to participating in Venice's famous Carnival, where romance and excitement are at a high. While Brother Peter is distressed by the thought of committing usury, Luca has other things on his mind - both his growing feelings for Isolde and the possibility of finally finding his father, who he'd given up for dead. But with dark forces at work, the five friends will need all of their willpower and ingenuity to survive in Venice.

|rating=5
|genre=General Fiction
|summary=Idris and Timur may be brothers growing up together but that doesn't mean that they will grow up to be the same. Nabi is the servant of a wealthy man but carries the secret of a deed he regrets and a love that can't be acknowledged. Then there are 10 year old Abdullah and his little sister Pari; inseparable till something separates them, causing a rift that will haunt them both in some way for the rest of their lives. They're all very different people, born of a nation of great natural beauty, natural wealth and the cradle of civilisation. It's also a nation of great pain and turmoil. These people are Afghans and this is their story.
