|summary=It’s no secret that I’m a massive fan of teen fiction and I think it does an awful lot of things really well. Amongst other things, it can transport the reader to faraway times and places. It can also let them empathise with people in situations that they’ll probably – and in many cases hopefully – never be in themselves. I think it’s fair to say, looking at the recent Carnegie longlist as just one example, that books which do either of the above things tend to be the most critically-acclaimed.

|title=Murder Most Unladylike (Wells & Wong Mystery 1)
|summary=Meet Harry Riddles – 10.3 years old, constant gamer, and more or less one of life's major losers. He's stuck in Cornwall with a sister he hates, a sister's boyfriend who shares his room with his smelly teenager feet, and a dad who's nothing more than a failed writer of movie screenplays. Perhaps Harry, the Shoutykid of the title, can call the shots himself, with his ideas of TV shows featuring a kid adopting a vegetarian baby zombie. Er – perhaps not. But he might get somewhere when he learns a lesson from his transatlantic cousin – to ask for help when it's needed. And so he does ask – he asks Sam Mendes, Harry Styles, the Queen… What could possibly go wrong?
