|title=The Spring of Kasper Meier
|rating=4.5
|genre=Thrillers
|summary=Germany may be defeated as the embers of World War II grow cold but Kasper Meier is making the most of it. His trade in black market goods and casual private investigation work augment the meagre rations for him and his dying father. When a woman asks him to find a missing British airman he refuses – it's not really his line. She blackmails Kasper and still he refuses but then the note arrives:
''This is bigger than you. You don't have a choice. Queers still die in Berlin. Find the pilot.''
It seems that he's been seen with another man and now he has a decision to make that will either cost or save his life.

|title=Bluebird
|author=Bob Staarke
|rating=5
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=Comic strips are supposed to be exciting, action packed adventures. Full of bright colours, buzzing characters and onomatopoeia. This book is different in every way. For a start, there are no words. Not one single ''bang'' or ''crash'' or ''wallop''. Then there’s the colour scheme. I think muted describes it best. This is a book of blacks, whites and greys and just a subtle touch of blue. Wow, does that blue pop though. And then there’s the theme, at which point things get really interesting.
