|title=My Life from the Beginning
|rating=2.5
|genre=Autobiography
|summary=Violet Prater is 83 and she's decided to tell us her story. She knows that there are grammar and spelling errors, but she wants to tell the story ''her'' way without any interference from an editor. I can understand that and I recognise the ''honesty'' behind her words. Her story's important because it illustrates that child abuse can extend beyond beatings and sexual abuse.

|summary=It's 1940 and Barney and his mum are on the train out of Coventry. They're escaping to the country having lost everything in the city's bombing. Sadly trouble seems to follow them and their train is attacked by German fighter planes. The train manages to find shelter in a tunnel but that only makes matters worse for young Barney because he's terrified of the dark. Luck is, however, finally on their side and the stranger in their carriage is able to provide a much needed distraction. The stranger tells the story of a young solider in World War One, including the moment when he could have prevented the Second World War.

|rating=4
|genre=Teens
|summary=Everything scares Elliott. And by everything, we really mean ''everything''. Elliott is not afraid of his mum, his aunt and his doctor. And that's it. Imagine that. Being frightened of your room. Of colours. Of noises. Of most things around you, no matter how everyday and mundane they are. This is the natural state of things for Elliott. And it's been that way since he was born prematurely and his twin, Ellamay, died.
