|title=The Story of Matthew Buzzington
|rating=5
|genre=Dyslexia Friendly
|summary=Ten year old Matthew Buzzington was less than impressed when his father got a new, high-powered job and they had to move to the big city like IMMEDIATELY. It meant a new school, complete with a bully called Pineapple Johnson. (No. Sorry. You'll have to find out for yourself.) Matthew held on to one fact though - he knew that he had a superpower. He could turn himself into a fly. There's only one problem. It didn't work. No matter how hard he tried, no matter how he concentrated on thinking himself into being a fly, he was still a ten-year-old boy with curly hair and he was getting bullied. Then everything changed one night when Matthew, his four-year-old sister Bella and Pineapple Johnson were accidentally locked in the school one night. And burglars broke in.

|title=S is for South Africa
|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.
