|author= Edmund Gordon
|title= The Invention of Angela Carter
|rating= 5
|genre= Biography
|summary=Angela Carter is remembered as an influential and inventive writer – with works like ''The Bloody Chamber'' and ''Nights at the Circus'' propelling her to fame, and a status as an icon and inspiration for many modern-day writers.
Here author Edmund Gordon delves into the life of Carter – from the London of the 1940s through to the London of the 1990s, with stops in Bristol, Tokyo, Australia, and various other places in between. A work that is as full of detail as it is full of devotion to a remarkable woman, ''The Invention of Angela Carter'' is the first authorised biography of a woman and a writer who is hugely missed today.

|author=Nicholson
|summary= The timeless story that we all know as The Wizard of Oz is given a twist in this original interpretation by master story-crafter Michael Morpurgo. It's the tale of a character that seems to be so often overlooked in the well-known story: Dorothy's faithful dog, Toto. We hear the whole story from his point of view, told in first person narrative from the moment the tornado sweeps across Dorothy's Kansas farm. Toto continues to tell the story as it happens to him in a witty and charming manner as their house is lifted into the air and whisked away to the mysterious land of Oz. Of course, Toto and Dorothy meet the absurd but loveable scarecrow without a brain, tin man without a heart and lion who lacks courage, and together they set off along the yellow brick road to find the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, hoping that he might help Toto and Dorothy return home. Along the way, the tin man, scarecrow and lion learn that what they think they are missing might have been there all along.

|author=Katrina Pallant and Ulises Farinas
|title=Star Wars Where's the Wookiee? 2 Search and Find Activity Book
|rating=4
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=It's not enough these days, you know, to have just one franchise. No, you have to match it with another. You have to mash ''Doctor Who'' with the ''Mister Men''. You need zombies in your [[Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith|Pride and Prejudice]] (don't laugh, the book was much better than the film). Batman has to have a Lego equivalent (and don't laugh, for the film was awfully unfunny). Even when you're a Disneyfied, new-film-every-year-like-it-or-not behemoth like ''Star Wars'', you need some secondary property to latch on to. Hence this, which as the title suggests, is the second book asking you to find the Wookie in the Wally/Waldo-esque scenes.
