|title=Dragon Shield
|author=Charlie Fletcher
|rating=5
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=''"Dragons don't exist,"whispered Jo. But even those three short words sounded more like a wish than a statement of fact.''
 
Something dark and sinister is going on at the British Museum. An ancient power has awoken and it has stopped time. People are frozen like statues. Only Will and his sister Jo are still moving. The only humans still moving, that is. The dragons are moving. They're spitting real fire, too. And they're attacking Will and Jo. A glorious golden girl comes to their rescue, followed by an angel and a muse. And Will and Joe are plunged into a world where statues are alive and where good battles evil. Why are they still moving? Who is behind the stopping of time? And will they ever get Mum back?

|title=Boy In The Tower
|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…

|title=My Heart is Laughing
|author=Rose Lagercrantz and Eva Eriksson
|rating=4
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=Meet Dani. On the whole she's happy, and when she's not she tries to be. She would be happier if her best friend hadn't moved to another town, leaving her empty seat on their joint desk at primary school, but you can’t have everything. But Dani also has smaller-scale, shorter-lasting times of unhappiness, such as the story in these pages, when a boy decides to ignore two girls and ask Dani out instead. Their jealousy causes unhappiness – can Dani, or her dad, or just plain chance, turn the tables and make her happy again?
