|title=Lockwood and Co: The Whispering Skull
|author=Jonathan Stroud
|rating=5
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=No one knows why ghosts have begun rising in such overwhelming numbers, threatening a terrible death to anyone they touch, and the fact that only children and young people can see them just makes everything that bit more mysterious. And it's no exaggeration to say that the members of the smallest and shabbiest psychic detection agency in Britain have their hands full in this, their second adventure. Their recent successes have brought in plenty of work, but also jealousy: their rivals from the well-funded Fittes Agency are determined not only to make them fail, but to make them look as stupid and incompetent as possible in the process.

|title=Strong Winds Trilogy: The Salt-Stained Book
|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. This is the exciting story of Louie and her hopes to become a circus star. 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?
