|title=Elizabeth is Missing
|rating=5
|genre=General Fiction
|summary=Maud is a little forgetful as the rows of cooling cups of tea will attest. She also has a cupboard full of peaches for some reason but not to worry. She has a family who love her and rally round, a home help and her great friend Elizabeth. Come to think of it, Elizabeth seems to be missing and the notes that Maud writes herself each day keep reminding her of this. The problem is that no one will listen to her, let alone believe her. It also reminds Maud of something else; another disappearance a long, long time ago.

|title=Rilla of Ingleside
|summary=We're looking at a few months in the lives of three women. On the face of it Ella has it all. She's got a happy marriage and two gorgeous children along with a home in the village-y part of Walthamstow. But she ''wants'' something more - and her husband doesn't agree that another child is the answer. Her friend Imogen and partner Pete used to have a fun relationship but after the birth of Indigo things changed, with Imogen needing to focus on the baby and Pete becoming more distant and less involved. Then there's Phoebe. She's just fifteen years old and bullied at school: she's that unfortunate girl in the class who is overweight and under cool. She and her mother simply don't get on - Liz is a model and a size eight - but she's close to her father, but round about the time of her GCSEs her parents split up and that closeness was lost.

|title=Diary Of Dorkius Maximus In Pompeii
|author=Tim Collins
|rating=4.5
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=Dorkius has moved to Pompeii for the summer. Yes, the heady highlights of Rome are far behind as he and his family have gone south, to what looks and smells like a ''guffy little backwater'', while dad is involved in some tax negotiations. Oh, and the sacred chickens are now sleeping with Dorkius in his room, making his time in the town full of idiots even less welcome. But still – surely foolish people left, right and centre are not a problem, when you consider the angry mountain demon up yonder on Vesuvius…
