|author= Desmond Seward
|title= Renishaw Hall: The story of the Sitwells
|rating= 4.5
|genre= Biography
|summary= Renishaw Hall, Derbyshire, has been the home of the Sitwells since 1625. Though the history of the house and its family go back to the early Stuart era, as Seward tells us in a few wonderfully concise chapters, it is really with the appearance of the eccentric Sir George Sitwell and his three famous children that the narrative comes into its own.

|summary=Xanthe Ribiero had won the area championships in her sister's boat, but she now had sponsorship ''and'' a new laser dinghy. Best of all she had the letter from the GB Racing Committee which confirmed that she was in the squad and was off to the Easter training camp at the National Sailing Academy at Weymouth. She was full of plans to train harder, watch her diet and - she had to admit - just a little bit pleased that she might not have to worry about exam results and university applications. ''This'' was as good as it got.

|title=Cheeky Charlie
|author=Mat Waugh
|rating=4
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=
'My book is about all the naughty things that my brother Charlie has done. Some of it is funny, some of it is a bit sad, and lots of it is disgusting, because that's what Charlie can be. It might even make you be sick, so get ready.'
 
You know what? That's about the size of it. After Harry has introduced herself - she's almost seven years old, she doesn't like her freckles, she's used to people thinking that someone called Harry ought to be a boy, and she has a younger brother, who is three and called Charlie. This is Harry's book about Charlie. Charlie is a cheeky chappie. He never shuts up. He likes to push his luck. And, having pushed his luck once, he likes to push it again. And again. And again. This is much to Harry's exasperation, as she explains by dint of a book full of anecdotes... |amazonuk=<amazonuk>1508910510</amazonuk>
