|title=My Dog Daisy
|rating=4
|genre=Dyslexia Friendly
|summary=Lily did ''not'' want a goldfish. Nor did she want a hamster or a cat. She wanted a ''DOG'' and whilst she understood what Mum said about not being able to have a dog in the 5th floor flat without a garden she still thought it was unfair. After all, when they lived at Gran's house there was a garden and she could have had a dog, but then Mum and Gran had a row and they moved out. She hadn't even seen Gran for three months and she ''missed'' her. And the dog which she couldn't have. Even Keri, her best friend, though that she was going on a bit about the whole thing.

|summary=Clare didn't enjoy the journey down to Devon. Her parents always argued and it was usually because Mum had lost her way or got caught in a traffic jam and this time she'd done both. It was a little better when they got to Aunt Dora's house, but Aunt Dora wasn't exactly a peacemaker and tended to stick up for Dad against everybody else. The holiday improved when Clare got out for a walk on her own and discovered a stray lamb on the road. She took it to the nearest house and Mr Jones was delighted: Clare had just saved half his flock. Clare got on with the old man - and with his horse, Captain.

|title=Doctor Who: The Dangerous Book of Monsters
|rating=5
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=It's imperative you keep up with The Doctor, in both senses – meaning in case the first thing he tells you to do is ''Run!'' and in the sense of following all his various adventures and maintaining knowledge of what's what and who he's faced, enemy-wise. One great way to be enemy wise is to peruse this book, which really is a great present for the young fan – and of course a life-saving manual for when you yourself find sharks in the fog, gas-mask wearing boys ''sans'' their mothers or indeed gigantic Cyberking dreadnought spacecraft. Honestly, why this is classed as a fiction title I have no idea…
