|author= Cixin Liu
|title= Wandering Earth
|rating= 5
|genre= Science Fiction
|summary= If anyone thought that the short story as a form had been relegated to the pages of women's magazines (no disrespect) – think again. One genre that has always been a stalwart supporter and encourager of the short form is Sci-fi. So when you pick up a collection of Sci-fi shorts, you know that it will have just as much depth and thought-provoking philosophy as any similar novel. Add to that the intrigue of seeing how the concepts are approached by someone from China which – to be polite – has a somewhat different world-view in many ways to much of the rest of the planet…and add to that an author who is not only a best-seller in his home country but has the distinction of having produced the first translated work of SF ever to win the Hugo Award…this has got to be good!

|summary=There is a child who likes his school. It just takes him to be fictional for that comment to be true. Yes, while the building is way above his older sister in Harry's estimation, and while school is way below his enjoyment of playing zombie games, he likes it. He likes it enough to worry about it being forced to close when there's a heinous sum of £7,000 to be made up – but does he like anything profitable enough to make sure he can get the place saved?

|author=Sarah Tolcser
|rating=4.5
|genre=Teens
|summary=Caro believes she is destined for the river. So why hasn't the river god whispered her name? How much longer must she wait for the Old Man to do it? So when pirates burn ships and her father is arrested by the port authorities, Caro volunteers to transport a secretive cargo in order to win his release. Surely now the river god will call her? But impulsive Caro may have bitten off more than she can chew: the cargo turns out to be more than she expected, and she is drawn into a life and death political struggle in a world far removed from life aboard her father's wherry...
 
...plus, there is an annoying and arrogant boy called Markos. What does a girl like Caro do about a boy like Markos?
