|author=Philip Reeve and Sarah McIntyre
|title=Pug-a-Doodle-Do!
|rating=4.5
|genre=Crafts
|summary=I was reading a book so utterly different to this the other day, it has to bear mention. It was an exceedingly academic book about graphic novels and comics for the YA audience, and it featured an essay picking up on the way books like the fill-in-bits-yourself entries in the Wimpy Kid and Dork Diaries series (such as [[Dork Diaries: How to Dork Your Diary by Rachel Renee Russell|this one]]) let you interact with the franchise, and also to create your own content. There was some weird high-falutin' academic language to describe such books – but you know what? I say (redacted) to that – let's just hang it and have fun. And this book, spinning off from the four books this partnership has so far been responsible for, is certainly a provider of that.

|summary=Mitzy the cat and Biskit the dog are Pet Defenders – perhaps some of the creatures best suited to defend the planet from alien invasion, seeing as they have inbuilt animal instincts, and live alongside some of the strangest critters out there, in mankind. But when they're thinking life is too quiet, only for a rat to come along with a tale of being enveloped in snot and taken to a different corner of the universe entirely, they're only too keen to investigate. That's especially true of Biskit, when he learns that the adventure may allow him clues to solve the disappearance of his previous partner…

|title=Detective Nosegoode and the Music Box Mystery (Detective Nosegoode 1)
|rating=3.5
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=The lovely village of Lower Limewood is coming awake as it usually does, and people are happily going about their business. Business for the stately, well-known but happily retired Detective Nosegoode is merely idling his time on a park bench reading the newspapers to his dog – a dog that can talk to him in human language, if not read. But not all people welcome the new day with joy – a clockmaker, who had been working for a week now at repairing a music box with a porcelain dancer on top and a clockwork mechanism, finds it – and only it – has been stolen from his business. It's only a step to find the owner was under the illusion it was a clue to some long-lost treasure, but who could have burgled the workshop and taken it? And what place to play in the mystery does a strange man have, what with his avidly watching the Detective from behind a giant and clearly fake beard?
