|title=The Dog with No Name
|rating=4
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=Ella and Harry had been nagging their parents ''forever'' about getting a dog, but it wasn't until after the death of the goldfish ''and'' the Russian hamster, which they'd only seen five times because it was nocturnal, that their parents relented. Off they went to the dog rescue centre and after what seemed like ''ages'' and lots of red tape they had their very own dog. He'd not been in the centre long and had no name but the whole family fell for him and brought him home.

|summary=The first story we hear from the Shore, a group of isolated islands off the coast of Virginia, is from Chloe, who's telling her sister about what she overheard in the store. She'd been there buying chicken necks so that they could go crabbing. Normally they used bacon rinds, but they'd already eaten those. Cabel Bloxom had been murdered and ''they done cut his thang clean off''. The girls are motherless and Chloe is fiercely protective of her little sister Renee. She's the first of the strong women we'll encounter in these stories, which interlink to give a greater picture.

|title= The Dyslexic Hearts Club
|rating= 3.5
|genre= General Fiction
|summary= I recently reviewed a novel by another Scandinavian novelist, Helle Helle, [[This Should be Written in the Present Tense by Helle Helle and Martin Aitken (translator)|This Should be Written in the Present Tense]], and I expected this novel by Hanneke Hendrix to be very similar. It wasn't. That's not totally a bad thing – many people will enjoy the fast-paced, dialogue driven novel that ''The Dyslexic Hearts Club'' is. It just wasn't exactly what I was expecting.
