|title=The Cat Who Came in off the Roof
|author=Annie M G Schmidt and David Colmer (translator)
|rating=4.5
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=Meet Tibble. Despite the feline-sounding name, he's a human man, and a journalist at that. But his boss at the town newspaper isn't too pleased with what product Tibble delivers – for all he seems to write about is cats. The night of his impending dismissal a cat walks in through the window of Tibble's attic flat – or it would have been a cat, a ginger called Minou, but something has turned her into a human. Enough cattish behaviour and intelligence remains however, and she soon helps Tibble out by telling him all the real news that the town's cats are privy to and have never been able to convey before. But can the very feline Minou survive in human form, and what happens when the grapevine of gossip from the cats leads to something so vital to report, but so impossible to prove?

|title=Dork Diaries: TV Star
|summary=Imagine you have a dog. (That would be nice...I'd like a dog). Now imagine that the dog is magical! He's a special sort of dog who can grant wishes, just with a special up and down wag of his tail. There couldn't be anything better, could there, than a dog that grants wishes? Just so long as you're always very careful about what you wish for whenever that dog is within hearing range!

|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?
