|title=Eloise Undercover
|rating=4
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary= Eloise has a wonderful life with her two best friends, Albert and Maddie, until the German soldiers start to arrive and everything changes. Nazi-occupied France is not a place Eloise wants to be. Maddie and her family are taken away and Albert starts to act very strangely. Then her father disappears. Eloise is lost until she discovers her father has been working for the resistance and there might, if she is brave enough, be a way to rescue him before he's deported to Germany. She now has hope and a plan. But will the resistance let a twelve year old schoolgirl join them?

|summary=Meet Wilfred and Osbert. They're not only the kind to completely flout the rules of the natural history explorer's club they belong to, but when they both spot an undiscovered butterfly together, they are the kind to fight tooth and claw to be the first to lay claim to it alone, and devil take the other one. What they don't know is that the drama that ensues when they're tailing this particular specimen will involve no end of peril – nearly drowning, almost being eaten by a lion, crashing a hot air balloon one of them just so happened to have in his pocket… This, then, is a fun and silly biology lesson – but that's only the best kind, surely?

|title=Around the World in 80 Maps
|rating=3.5
|genre=Children's Non-Fiction
|summary=Maps – they're there to make sure you don't go wrong. They might portray one town, and the streets or the canals that feature in it, with proud city walls surrounding the place; they may convey the complex coast of a newly discovered island, or even in the case of Australia a whole continent; or they may just be coloured pink to show off what you consider to be your land. Either way, they have certainly progressed from the early days, getting more and more accurate on the whole, and portraying a more honest look at our world. But what can we learn from scanning back to when they were less informative and allowed you to go very wrong, when they had sea monsters and 'here be dragons', and just plain looked daft? This book is one of the more informative ways to find out the answer to that question.
