|title=Knight Quest (Time Hunters, Book 2)
|author=Chris Blake
|rating=4
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=The second instalment of Blake’s 'Time Hunters' series sees our heroes Tom and Isis transported to medieval times in the hope of retrieving a second lost amulet, which is hidden in a golden sword. 'Knight Quest' is an action packed story with plenty of thrills and action, but is crammed with enough historical facts to keep fussy parents happy.

|title=Shrinking Violet is Totally Famous
|summary=My sons love stories of unsolved mysteries, monsters and mythical creatures. Like many boys, my oldest has a very strong leaning towards the non-fiction side of things. This book is for children who want to know how the legends were born, if any of the creatures could be real, and what the science behind the story is. I do feel this book is better suited to older children seeking a more rational explanation to the old stories, but my youngest did enjoy it as well. It might be useful for a child with a slight fear of monsters to get a more realistic view of them, but I would use caution with a child who is truly terrified of monsters as it might just give them more things to be afraid of.

|author=Sam Hepburn
|title=Chasing the Dark
|rating=4
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=Sam Hepburn's book begins, intriguingly, by echoing several well-known tales. There is the orphan foisted on an unwilling aunt and uncle, for example, and then the boy who is forced by a frightening, filthy old convict into bringing him food — not to mention a whole slew of stories about young people who find themselves in dangerous situations because they trespass in private property while attempting to retrieve their less-than-obedient pets. But the plot soon gathers a momentum all its own and all the themes hinted at in the opening pages suddenly merge into a new story which is both exciting and scary.
