|summary=I have been looking forward to reading this book for some time. [[:Category:Emma Carroll|Emma Carroll’s]] debut novel, [[Frost Hollow Hall by Emma Carroll|Frost Hollow Hall]], was one of my favourite children’s books of last year and I was delighted to discover that this is just as good.

Ever since she was abandoned as a baby at Chipchase's Travelling Circus, Louie has dreamed of becoming a 'Showstopper’ but Mr Chipchase only ever lets her sell tickets. However Louie has a talent as a tightrope walker and every morning she practises her act in secret watched by her little dog Pip. Can Louie find the courage to overcome the challenges that face her, defy Mr Chipchase and achieve her dream?

|title=Jedi Academy 2: Return of the Padawan
|summary=A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
There lived a boy called Roan Novachez who always dreamed of being a pilot like his big brother. Fate works in mysterious ways and poor Roan ended up at Jedi academy instead. His first year was full of drama and tween angst; trying to make friends, fit in, impress girls and avoid lightsaber-wielding bullies. Roan thinks this year is going to be different: '''This school year will definitely be the BEST YEAR EVER!''' Of course, nobody told Roan that when you make statements like that, you are just asking for trouble...

|summary=Morgan was just thirteen when she was sent to her aunt's ranch in the Rockies for the summer. It was all a bit alien to her - I mean she was a city girl from Chicago and she was going to have to get on with ''horses''. It's not long though before she realises that she has a real affinity with horses and ponies and develops a special bond with a terrified wild mustang. It's Morgan who rescues the animal when it's trapped in barbed wire and calms it sufficiently to bring it into shelter.
