|title=A-Maze-ing Minotaur
|author=Juliet Rix and Juliet Snape
|rating=3.5
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=Greek Myths are fantastic. They are full of action, characters and more gore than a truck load of video nasties, but how do you tell them to children? Remove the grisly bits for one and write them in a way that will appeal to the modern adolescent. This is exactly what writer Juliet Rix and illustrator Juliet Snape set out to do in ‘A-Maze-ing Minotaur’. Anything that uses the word “a-maze-ing”, must appeal to kids, right?

|title=House of Secrets: Battle of the Beasts
|summary=The naked body of a woman was washed up on an island in the Firth of Forth. The mutilation had obviously come from a ship's propeller but the result was that there was no means of identification. Several days later detectives were called to a flat in Edinburgh: a meter reader had found the kitchen covered in blood and it wasn't long before a connection was made between the missing occupant of the property and the unidentified body. The name - Isabella Spreckley - didn't ring immediate bells but she had been Bella Watson and that was a name which many people, not least Bob Skinner, would have preferred not to hear again - even if she was dead.
