|author= Bear Grylls
|title= New Jungle Book Adventures: Spirit of the Jungle
|rating= 3
|genre= Confident Readers
|summary= This book is technically excellent but unfortunately it falls flat in the actual execution. Grylls uses trusted storytelling techniques such as the hero's journey and Chekov's Gun to produce a frame that should be engaging with the target audience but unfortunately it does not quite hit the mark. What we ultimately have is a great idea with some wonderful moments that never really recovers from a slow beginning.

|title=Spudboy and Chip
|summary=Evie is not happy. Not only has her mother disrupted their hitherto happy duo by getting married, she has flown off on honeymoon with new husband Marcus and sent Evie off to stay with a godmother she hasn't seen for years and can barely remember. And if that weren't bad enough, godmother Anna lives in a creaky old mansion miles from anywhere, without such necessities as internet access and a mobile phone signal. Anna doesn't even own a television, for heavens sake.

|title= The Huntress: Sea
|rating= 4
|genre= Confident Readers
|summary= Feisty heroines who refuse to accept the limitations set on them by men abound in literature at the moment – which is all to the good – and thirteen-year-old Mouse is no exception. She lives a precarious but happy life on the ''Huntress'' with her one-eyed grandma, who is the ship's captain, and her little brother Sparrow. Their tribe worships the whales as gods, protecting and working together with them to defeat the vicious and bloodthirsty terrodyls, and despite her young age Mouse is already a gifted diver for the pearls which they trade for food.
