|title=Winnie's Big Bad Robot
|author=Valerie Thomas and Korky Paul
|rating=4.5
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=Winnie the Witch is something of an institution in children’s literature these days, and with good reason. From the very first book in the series Valerie Thomas and Korky Paul managed to capture a wonderful sense of fun, mischief and adventure. This addition to the series is no exception.

|title=Tom Gates Totally Brilliant Annual
|summary=Princess Grace is starting her second term at the prestigious Tall Towers academy and the class are preparing for the annual Ballet of the Flowers. Each class member must select a native flower from the island and perform a dance, representing the qualities of their chosen flower. The princesses select the most delicate and beautiful blooms, including water lily, poppy and crocus. But how on earth is Grace, the clumsiest, scruffiest and most unladylike of all the princesses, to choose a flower that reflects her personality?

|title=It's Been Said Before: A Guide to the Use and Abuse of Cliches
|rating=4
|genre=Reference
|summary=I don't usually start a review by telling you what a book ''isn't'', but in this case it's important. This isn't a light-hearted look at the subject, such as we found in [[Cliches: Avoid Them Like the Plague by Nigel Fountain]] and which - laughing and blushing in equal measure - we shelved under 'trivia'. This book will be shelved under 'reference': it's a rigorous look at the problem with the clichés divided not by subject matter, but grammatically and with an introduction to each section which gives all the information you need to help in making judgements about your own writing. This isn't a book to ''amuse'' you, but to help you to improve your use of words.
