|title=The Sword of Kuromori
|author=Jason Rohan
|rating=4.5
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=Greek legends seems to have been done to death in YA and MG recently, there’s been a fair amount influenced by Norse mythology over the years, and Rick Riordan’s Kane Chronicles are probably the most popular of several books and series which have brought us stories based on that of Egypt. Japanese culture doesn’t seem to have played as big a part (although we’re huge fans of [[Stormdancer by Jay Kristoff]] and [[Kinslayer (Lotus War Trilogy 2) by Jay Kristoff|Kinslayer]] at The Bookbag) so it’s refreshing to see an adventure here featuring ''kappas'', ''nure-onnas'', and ''oni'', amongst other fearsome creatures.

|title=I Predict a Riot
|summary=The Bad Lads had been together for years. They were scamps, mischief makers - lads having a bit of fun - and they were led by Joe Gillespie who was a year or two older. The lads thought that Joe was great but there was a niggling feeling amongst one or two of the boys that he was getting a bit more extreme and that some of his pranks were actually - deliberately - going to hurt people. The fire at Mr Eustace's (he was a conchie, you see) happened the same week that Klaus Vogel arrived in the town of Felling. The scrawny refugee from East Germany who knew hardly any English would change things for the Bad Lads.
