|author=Ivor George Williams
|title=Captain Ronald Campbell of Bombala Station, Cambalong: His Military Life and Times
|rating=4
|genre=Biography
|summary=In March 1829 Ann Parker married Captain J A Edwards of the 17th Regiment of Foot. He was in command of the troops and convicts on board a ship sailing from Plymouth to Sydney, Australia: his wife and young son accompanied him. He was not destined to live a long life, dying suddenly at the age of 34 at Bangalore, leaving his widow to raise their two young sons. Edwards' death left his widow in a difficult position: not only did she have their farm to manage, she was also responsible for the convicts who worked the land. Two years later she would marry Captain Ronald Campbell.

|author= Joe Hill
|summary= Polly, Huckle and Neil are back but in what, sadly for fans of the Little Beach series, seems to be the last of this trilogy. Never say never but by the end of this book, the author has certainly secured the destiny of these three much-loved characters. Don't be put off if you haven't read the previous ones, it really won't matter particularly as the author provides a helpful little synopsis at the start to help those, like me, that are new to these stories.

|author= Alice Hoffman
|title= The Rules of Magic
|rating= 5
|genre= General Fiction
|summary= I've read several of Alice Hoffman's novels, although strangely, not the one she's most famous for ''Practical Magic'', which went on to be made into a film. ''The Rules of Magic'' is the long-awaited prequel to that book, and tells the story of three siblings of the Owens family; Franny, Jet and Vincent. The two sisters, Franny and Jet, go on to become the two aunts in the ''Practical Magic'' story.
